Equipment

Ingredients

  • 5 slices bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt

Optional

  • Confectioners sugar for dusting
  • Maple syrup for dipping

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 370 degrees F.
  • Cut each piece of bread into 3 equal pieces and set them aside.
  • Put the eggs, milk, flour, sugar, vanilla, ground cinnamon, and salt into a wide shallow dish. Whisk everything to combine.
  • Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly.
  • Place a piece of parchment paper inside the air fryer and place each stick in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Air fry them for about 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time.
  • Carefully remove them from the air fryer and dust with confectioners sugar and serve with maple syrup, if desired.

Notes

  • I highly recommend using parchment paper rounds to line the bottom of the air fryer basket to avoid any sticking.
  • Cooking the bread until it is golden brown and crispy. Add another minute or two of cooking time if the bread is still soft.
  • Whisk the eggs really well until they’re fully mixed without clumps of eggs in the batter that could result in eggy bread.
  • Cook them in batches if needed. They will get the crispiest this way.
  • Cook frozen french toasts sticks in a preheated air fryer at 400 degrees F for 4 to 6 minutes, until they're hot and crispy.
  • Store leftovers in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze them up to 3 months.
  • Reheat any leftovers in a preheated air fryer at 350 degrees F for 2-3 minutes until they're hot and crispy again!
