French toast is a classic breakfast dish, but I bet you’ve never had it like this! Blueberry french toast made with Martha White muffin mix to create a fluffy, flavorful experience that’s truly out of this world good.
Martha White has some great recipes on their website- I was really excited to try this one out! We are big on breakfast around here. We love to eat it for dinner and in the morning, but this french toast does well on a nice Sunday morning.
Muffin Mix French Toast
If you love french toast and blueberries, then you’re in for a real treat. This meal is made using a package of flavored muffin mix and a basic french toast base. Together you get the tender, crispy french toast you’d expect, but with a twist that makes them truly unique and wonderful.
Why You’ll Love This Recipe
- It’s not much work. Making french toast is actually very easy. Mix some eggs and milk together, dip some bread and fry until golden. This recipe follows those steps almost exactly, but we add in a little “something extra” to the egg mixture.
- The blueberry sauce is incredible. Gone are the days when we settle for store-bought maple syrup as we welcome a simple sauce made from fresh (or frozen) blueberries.
- You can have thickly sliced french toast. We use a french bread loaf and slice it, so you can feel free to make the slices thicker or thinner depending on your preferences.
Blueberry French Toast Ingredients
For the French Toast Batter, You Will Need:
Muffin mix– You will need one (7-ounce) sized package of flavored muffin mix. I used Martha White’s Blueberry Cheesecake Flavor.
Eggs– Use 3 large eggs that have been beaten. This will allow the mixture to come together more easily.
Butter– Use 3 tablespoons of butter to grease the griddle as the french toast cooks. This will make them taste richer and give them a nicer crust.
Milk– To get the consistency just right, you will need 1/3 to 1/2 cups of milk. Any type of milk is fine.
French Bread– This egg mixture is enough for 6-8 slices of french bread that have been cut 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch thick.
For the Blueberry Sauce, You Will Need:
Blueberries– You will need 2 cups of fresh or frozen blueberries for the base of this sauce. Use fresh if you have them, but frozen berries work great during the off-season!
Water– Use 1 cup of water to get the syrup to the right consistency. For more flavor, feel free to swap it out for orange juice.
Sugar– Adding 1/4 cup of granulated sugar will make the sauce sweet and help it to thicken.
Lemon juice– Use 1 tablespoon of lemon juice to keep the sauce tasting fresh.
Jam– We use 2 tablespoons of boysenberry jam but feel free to select a different berry jam.
How to Make Blueberry French Toast Martha White Style
Blueberry Sauce
In a saucepan, combine the blueberries and water.
Add in the sugar, lemon juice, and jam.
Place the pot over medium heat and bring to a boil.
Cook together until thickened, while stirring occasionally.
Reduce the heat to low and keep warm.
French Toast
Add the muffin mix to a shallow bowl or pie plate.
Stir in the eggs and enough milk to turn it into a thin batter.
In a nonstick skillet on the stove, melt one tablespoon of butter over medium heat.
Dip the bread into the batter.
Turn the bread over to coat the other side.
Place your egg covered bread into the preheated skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
When doing multiple slices, you can place them into the oven to keep warm after they’re finished.
Repeat this process with the remaining bread, using butter for the skillet, as needed.
Serve topped with your homemade blueberry sauce.
Enjoy!

Can I use any muffin mix flavor?
Yes! The great thing about this recipe is that you can simply swap out the topping and the muffin mix to create a new dish every time. Enjoy strawberry, raspberry, mixed berry flavors, and more!
What does muffin mix do to french toast?
The flour in the muffin mix helps to bind the egg mixture to the bread and creates a fluffier end result. The muffin mix also helps to add a little added sweetness and a lot of delicious flavors as well.
How long is french toast good for?
This french toast is best when served right away, but you can keep the leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Just reheat again before serving. Leftover blueberry sauce can also be kept for up to 4 days in an airtight container in the fridge.
