Different ways to change up this recipe:
- You don’t have to use the caramel sauce if you don’t want, but it does add an extra bit of sweetness.
- You could add a bit of white chocolate chips if you’ve got the points for it. Or add them on the top- they’d be delicious. Also, don’t be afraid to add in a bit of extra cinnamon. It pairs so well with both apples and french toast.
Tips and Tricks for Making Caramel Apple French Toast Muffins:
- The nutrition facts and Weight Watchers Points are calculated using Weight Watchers One Point White Bread. You can use any type of bread you have on hand, you’ll just have to redo the nutrition facts if needed.
- You can use any kind of milk if you don’t have unsweetened almond milk.
- For easy drizzle, place the caramel sauce in a small ziplock bag and cut the tip off the corner. It keeps the drizzle small and even.
- Caramel is best put on when ready to serve. These muffins will freeze well with or without the caramel topping but work best if it’s immediately before serving.
- Since this is a French toast muffin, they are dense due to the egg mixture.
