Obviously, these had to happen.
On Sunday I told you guys about this Cinnamon Crunch Braided Brioche Bread.
If you guys missed it go check it out now. Seriously, GO!
The bread is amazing and without a doubt the best bread I have turned out yet.
So good that I had to make a second loaf two days after making the first. No joke, I really did. But I had muffin plans for this loaf. YES!
These are perfect.
Perfect for holiday entertaining, perfect for snacking, perfect for breakfast, brunch and even dessert. Oh, and perfect for those lingering Thanksgiving guests that we ALWAYS seem to have (read “Gerard Home for Wayward Boys”).
If you want to do them for breakfast, you can prep everything the night before and then just pop them in the oven when you wake or before your are ready to serve them.
People are going to freak.
Here’s how it is going to go down.
First they are going to smell them.
Then they are going to see them.
Then they are going to devour them…….
Then they will be begging for more and possibly even the recipe, depending on what kind of people you are dealing with. Over here they will just ask to have ME make them again. FYI, our guests are not the most mature, I think making their own bagel is about the extent of their culinary skills. Our Christmas guests, my cousins and uncle, look downright classy compared to our usual crowd!
Anyway, I have finally started to think about Thanksgiving foods.
You would think it would be my favorite holiday, but I actual do not go all out for Thanksgiving. I mean, I do love it, but I have boring, boring, BORING eaters. So our Thanksgiving table looks the same every single year. The boys will only eat turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes and rolls, but I always make sweet potato casserole, brussels sprouts, carrots and last year I even did cranberry sauce!
I know, it’s so crazy.
But hey, at least there is always pie!
Don’t worry though, I do plan on cranking out a few awesome Thanksgiving recipes for you guys soon! Anything you want to see?
I am now adding these muffins to the day after Thanksgiving breakfast. Normally it is just bagels or waffles, but these are happening this year.
If you really do not want to make a loaf of bread for this you can use your favorite store-bought cinnamon bread, but I am not going to lie, it’s just not going to be as good.
So just make this bread, no double this bread, recipe.

Oh and yeah, and there’s chocolate in there too. You’re welcome!
Wow, little bites of heaven!
Thank you!
Drooling!
Thank you!
They are almost like mini bread puddings, but so much more. Yum!!!
Thanks Liz!
Oh. My. God. You’re a baker, you’re a cook…you make the most scrumptious food ever. …Tieghan, when is you’re resatuarant/coffee shop/bakery opening?? Because I want to work…er…live…er…eat…there!
Ha! I am saying the same thing about you!!! I mean, your muffins today? Want those!
Yummmmm and YUM! I am not sure the cinnamon bread would last to make it to these, but they look fantastic! Soooo sweet, like something from a bakery- PS-open a bakery STAT!
Haha! Thanks you so much, Sophia! Pretty sure I cannot handle a bakery though!
I would give a lot of money to have these for breakfast right now! They look fantastic. Well done!
Thanks Ali!!
Of course these had to happen. I mean, look at them. I want to reach through the screen and devour three. Pinned.
Thanks so much, Jennie!
I am so glad that you read my mind yesterday and made these. Because there’s no better reason to make brioche bread than to go ahead and turn it into french toast the next day!
And then you went ahead and added coconut streusel. Love.
Could not agree more!!
Thanks Laura! Oh and streusel makes everything better!
This looks beautiful so I printed out both bread and muffin recipe to make for the “day after”. Boring is the word here as well. I make great healthy sides, and I’m the only one eating them. When will I learn ?!!!! Thanks for sharing this!
Thanks so much, Teri! Hope you love both the bread and muffins! Oh and keep making those sides!! You should get a good Thanksgiving too!
Seriously no words to describe other than “Oh. My. Gosh.” Wow.
Thank you, Erin!
I need that bread to make these muffins. Loving the sound of this coconut streusel too.
Thank you so much!
Girl this is such a genius use of that brioche! And the photography is just tack sharp and so on point. Gosh it’s a dream to look at. I pinned the pour shot only b/c I know that involves a tripod and all kinds of monkey business to get there 🙂
Thanks Averie!! Those pour shots are so hard, but I have fun with them! Although, they may kill me soon! LOL!
Thanks for pinning! 🙂
This might be the perfect grab and go breakfast muffin out there! I love brioche, and this is a fantastic recipe to use it.
As far as boring Thanksgiving food, I would agree. I try my hardest to make different things but, people are traditionalist with this meal. I just try to execute the basics the best I can. I’m sure your family wants the same ole boring items from you cuz you do the same!! I would love to sit at your table!
Thank you!!
I need to make that bread NOW! These muffins are fabulous in every way!
Thanks Katrina!
These look amazing! So I hate to be that annoying reader that asks “can I do this and this instead of your original recipe” – BUT, most family members can’t stand coconut (it’s a texture thing). So would it be okay to omit te coconut? And if so, would I need to add something to make it still ‘crumbly’?
Thank you!
Hey Anna! You are not annoying and yes, you can just leave the coconut out. Nothing needs to be added to replace it. It will still be crumbly and delicious! Hope you love these and thank you!
Thanks for your reply! This will be recipe #2 I have tried from you (since obviously your Browned Butter Lobster Crispy Kale Pasta deliciousness was a success) 😀
