French Toast Muffins

 I saw the recipes for these via pinterest via a site called framedcooks.  This is one of my favorite recipe finds in awhile.  I didn't think I could love french toast more, but in muffin form, guess what?  It's even better.

3 T. milk, 1 egg, 6 slices cinnamon bread (no crust, cut into 1/2 inch cubes-I actually just toasted up some wheat bread with a spray of butter and cinnamon sugar)
