Crispy Air Fryer French Toast Sticks
Air fryer French toast sticks are made with regular sandwich bread, eggs, and other simple ingredients to make the crispiest and most flavorful breakfast you've ever eaten.
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!
