Description

Crispy and golden Air Fryer French Toast Sticks are a quick and delicious breakfast treat. Made with thick sliced bread dipped in a rich mixture of eggs, milk, butter, and warm spices, these sticks are air fried to perfection for a healthier and hassle-free alternative to traditional fried French toast. Serve with maple syrup and a dusting of powdered sugar for a delightful start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

  • 8 slices thick sliced bread (somewhat thicker slices)

Wet Mixture

  • 1 cup milk
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 Tablespoons butter
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Mixture

  • ½ Tablespoon cinnamon
  • ½ Tablespoon nutmeg
  • ⅛ cup granulated sugar

For Serving

  • Maple syrup for dipping
  • Powdered sugar for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and spray the bottom of the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Slice Bread. Use a bread knife to cut each slice of thick bread into thirds lengthwise, creating sticks. Set aside for dipping.
  3. Prepare Wet Mixture. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, melted butter, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Combine Dry Spices. In another small bowl, mix the cinnamon, nutmeg, and granulated sugar evenly. Set this sugar-spice mixture aside for coating.
  5. Dip Bread Sticks. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, coating both sides thoroughly but avoiding making it soggy. Ensure each stick is well covered.
  6. Coat with Sugar-Spice. Lightly sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture over each dipped bread stick for added flavor.
  7. Arrange in Air Fryer. Place the coated bread sticks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, leaving space between sticks to ensure hot air circulates and cooks them evenly.
  8. Air Fry. Cook the French toast sticks at 375°F for 6 minutes until they turn light golden brown and have a crispy texture.
  9. Serve. Remove the French toast sticks from the air fryer. Serve immediately with warm maple syrup for dipping and optionally dust with powdered sugar for garnish.

Notes

  • Ensure bread slices are thick for best texture and to avoid sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; air circulation is key for crispiness.
  • If butter is solid, melt it before mixing into the egg mixture for better blending.
  • You can adjust cinnamon and nutmeg proportion to taste.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk and use a vegan butter alternative.
  • Serve immediately for best crisp texture as they soften over time.
