Air Fryer French Toast is crazy good and super delicious. You'll love how simple it is to make this easy french toast recipe in the air fryer.
I love making breakfast in the air fryer, and French Toast is one of my favorites. Easy Air Fryer French Toast Sticks are another favorite that's made in much the same way. They are seriously the best french toast sticks.
This easy french toast recipe is made with just a handful of simple ingredients and done in under 10 minutes. You only need to have a few things on hand for one of the best breakfasts, ever!
Ingredients:
- bread - I like to use texas toast, but there are several types of bread you can use.
- eggs
- milk
- cinnamon and sugar
This simple recipe is one of my favorites because you don't have to have anything special on hand. It's made with normal easy ingredients you probably already have on hand. It's a perfect easy breakfast the whole family enjoys.
*Tip: I typically allow my bread to sit out for a couple of hours or overnight to get "stale" before using it in this recipe. But it's not required.
How to Make French Toast in the Air Fryer
- In a small bowl, add the eggs and milk and whisk together. Pour the egg mixture onto a rimmed shallow bowl or plate for easier dipping.
- Take a slice of bread and dip it into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
- Add the cinnamon sugar to each piece of bread, and then place the bread slices in a single layer in the prepared air fryer basket.
- Air fry the French toast for 8-10 minutes at 390 degrees Fahrenheit, carefully flipping the toast after 5 minutes. Depending on the size of the basket or the size of the air fryer, you may have to cook these in two batches. Check after 8 minutes as each air fryer is different and can cook differently. You may need to add more time or remove the french toast earlier.
- Once golden brown and fully cooked, remove the toast from the air fryer, add an extra dash of the cinnamon-sugar mixture, and top with fresh berries, melted butter, confectioners' sugar, and syrup.
This is such a quick and delicious breakfast and it disappears so fast! It's my new favorite way to make breakfast.

Substitutions and FAQs
What type of bread is best to use when making french toast?
I love to use Texas toast, but you can also use brioche bread, french bread, or any favorite types and slices of bread you like best.
What's the best way to prepare the air fryer basket when making french toast?
I think the best type of preparation for the basket is by using a spray bottle with olive oil. Even with a non-stick coating, the egg on the bread will want to stick to the liner of the basket. I don't typically use cooking spray, and you can check out other oils that are best in the air fryer. You can also use air fryer parchment paper.
What are other toppings I can use on French toast?
I love to use toppings such as fresh fruit (bananas, strawberries, blueberries) and sprinkle a little brown sugar on top. I've also made this french toast and topped it with whipped cream and chocolate chips. There are tons of options, so let your taste buds guide you.
I hope you enjoy this kid-friendly breakfast recipe as much as my family does. Here is a list of more delicious recipes you can make in the air fryer.
