Equipment

  • 1 Air Fryer
  • 1 Shallow Dish (for egg mixture)
  • 1 Knife (for cutting bread)
  • 1 Small Brush (for buttering the air fryer basket)

Ingredients
  

  • 4 slices Bread thick, preferably brioche, challah, or Texas toast
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Milk whole milk or preferred alternative
  • 1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
  • 1 tablespoon Granulated Sugar
  • Pinch Salt
  • 1 tablespoon Butter melted, for brushing the air fryer basket
  • Toppings Optional: maple syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, fresh fruit

Instructions
 

  • In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon sugar, and a pinch of salt.
  • Cut 4 slices of bread into 3 equal sticks.
  • Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, making sure to coat both sides evenly without soaking for too long.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  • Brush the air fryer basket with 1 tablespoon melted butter and place the bread sticks in a single layer.
  • Cook the French toast sticks for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
  • Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your choice of toppings.

Notes

  • Bread Choice: For the fluffiest texture, opt for thick, soft bread like brioche or challah. These types of bread soak up the egg mixture without falling apart.
  • Cooking Time: The air fryer can cook at different rates, so check the French toast sticks around 8 minutes and adjust the time if you want them crispier.
  • Freezing: If you have leftovers, freeze the cooked French toast sticks in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer bag. Reheat in the air fryer for a quick breakfast!
  • Toppings: Get creative with toppings—try fresh berries, chocolate chips, or whipped cream for added indulgence.
