Notes

Note 1: Use slightly stale bread or let fresh bread cubes dry out a bit before making the French toast cups. Stale or dry bread can absorb the custard mixture without becoming overly soggy.

Storage/Freezing: You can keep the French toast muffins in the fridge for up to 4 days; you can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

Substitutions
Honey can be used in place of the maple syrup

Variations

Make a fall inspired version of French toast cups by substituting ½ cup pumpkin puree for the bananas.
Sprinkle with some turbino sugar or powdered sugar.
Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or rum extract and raisins.
