How to Make French Toast Sticks in the Air Fryer
Step 1
Mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl or plate and set aside.
Step 2
Stack the bread and then use a serrated knife to cut the slices into thirds.
Step 3
Whisk the eggs together and pour them into a rimmed plate.
Step 4
Dip the bread pieces into the egg and then dip into the cinnamon and sugar.
Step 5
Place the bread into the prepared Air Fryer basket in a single layer with an inch or two between slices.
Step 6
Air Fry the bread pieces for 8-9 minutes at 370 degrees Fahrenheit until golden brown, flipping them halfway through.
Step 7
Remove from the Air Fryer and serve immediately.
This is such a delicious and easy recipe.
You can also add powdered sugar on top of the french toast sticks before serving. Either way, they are a delicious and easy breakfast recipe that will be gobbled up fast.
TIPS
Use stale bread if possible. Stale bread will absorb the egg mixture more than fresh bread.
Dip the french toast sticks into the cinnamon and sugar mixture before air frying, and save the leftover cinnamon and sugar to sprinkle on top after cooking is complete.
Add your favorite fruit toppings and protein sides to make this dish a more complete breakfast.
FAQs
I love to use plain white bread that’s been sitting at room temperature for a few hours to get stale. You can aslo use Texas-style bread as well as brioche bread.
French toast is best made with stale bread because it absorbs the egg better than fresh bread.
If you forgot to leave the bread out over night and don’t have the time to sit it out before cooking, you can also use your oven. Place the stale bread in the oven on a wire rack at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 8 minutes, flip, and cook for an additional 8 minutes.
We hope you enjoy this easy breakfast recipe as much as we do! Perfect recipe for the kids to help when cooking, too!
