I am always looking for breakfast recipes that are quick to make without sacrificing flavor. And in comes one of my favorite inventions – air frying. I am always on the lookout for any excuse to make air fryer recipes. Even with thick sliced bread, these cinnamon french toast sticks only have a 6 minute cook time, and then they’re ready to serve. 

What do I need to get started?

• Bread – Thick sliced texas toast style bread is best for these, but any slice of bread will work. 
• Eggs.
• Vanilla extract.
• Heavy cream – definitely use heavy cream if you have it (not half-and-half or milk) for extra thick and delicious custard.
• Brown Sugar.
• Butter.
• Maple syrup for dipping.
• Berries for serving.
• Air Fryer – for an extra crispy outside, an air fryer is your best bet over a convection toaster oven.

How do I make french toast sticks in the air fryer?

• This is so easy, you’ll want to have these all the time.

• Take your eggs, cinnamon-sugar mixture, vanilla extract, melted butter, and heavy cream, and whisk until it’s all smooth and thick.

• Then take your bread cut into thirds and dip each into the egg mixture. Flip them over a few times so they’re completely coated.

• Place the sticks into your air fryer, careful to make sure that they do not touch. Fry for 3 minutes. Then flip them, let them fry for another 3 minutes. Do this in as many batches as you need to so the pieces do not touch.

Tips and tricks:

• Spray the air fryer pan before placing the French toast sticks in.
• You can cut off the side edges of the piece of bread or leave them on – it’s totally a personal preference. In my house, we like the crust. 
• For best results, don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Everything will cook more evenly with more space. 
• These French toast sticks make a great breakfast or snack. Serve them with berries and syrup or honey for some added flavor and texture.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
• These are best eaten straight away – when french toast sticks are hot, they are soft and gooey. 
• French toast is freezer safe, with the same air frying time.
