How to Make Air Fryer French Toast Sticks
Ingredients
- 4 slices brioche bread or Texas Toast
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
Directions
- Take your bread and slice each slice into thirds.
- In a dish with walls or a bowl (I use a casserole dish), add your eggs, milk, and vanilla. Whisk together with a whisk or fork.
- On a plate, combine your cinnamon and sugar and mix together until combined.
- Quickly dip each slice of toast in the egg mixture on the front and back (don’t let soak). Either dip the slice in the cinnamon sugar mixture or sprinkle on the front and back.
- Place each slice onto the air fryer tray in a single layer, leaving room between each slice for airflow. (You will most likely have to do these in 2-3 batches, depending on the size of your air fryer.)
- Set your air fryer to 350 degrees F and fry for 6-8 minutes.
- Serve with maple syrup, sprinkled with powdered sugar, or just as is.
How to Serve Air Fryer French Toast Sticks
Air Fryer French Toast Sticks are delicious on their own, but you can elevate them even more. Serve them with warm maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit like strawberries or blueberries. You can also add a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of chocolate syrup for a special treat!
How to Store Air Fryer French Toast Sticks
If you have leftovers, you can store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will stay fresh for about 2-3 days. To reheat, simply pop them back in the air fryer for a few minutes. This will help them regain their crispness.
Tips to Make Air Fryer French Toast Sticks
- Make sure not to soak the bread too long in the egg mixture; a quick dip is enough.
- Keep the air fryer tray well spaced for even cooking.
- Experiment with different types of bread like challah or whole wheat for a unique twist.
Variation
You can make these French Toast Sticks even more exciting by adding mix-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the egg mixture. For a seasonal touch, try adding pumpkin spice or nutmeg during the fall!
FAQs
Can I use regular bread instead of brioche or Texas Toast?

Can I make these French Toast Sticks ahead of time?
Yes, you can prepare the egg mixture the night before and store it in the fridge, making the process quicker in the morning.
