Air Fryer French Toast Sticks
— PIN THIS RECIPE —
Summer is coming to a close and kids are heading back to school. I don’t know about you, but that means I need to get back into planning breakfast and lunch ideas.
My mornings are usually a bit hectic even without school being in session. I need quick and easy meal solutions … and I’m guessing you appreciate those kinds of recipes too!
My kiddos love French toast but to be honest, I don’t always have the time or motivation to get up even earlier to make it for them before school starts. I love that this Air Fryer French Toast recipe is so simple. On the mornings when I have the time it’s easy to make up a batch – or two for extras throughout the week.
You’ll need a few simple ingredients for this Air Fryer French Toast recipe – Texas toast, milk, eggs, sugar, cinnamon, butter, and vanilla. I have a Philips XL Digital Air Fryer but any air fryer will work.
You’ll start by cutting the bread into 3 strips. Then you’ll dip them into an egg mixture. Finally, you’ll sprinkle them with a cinnamon-sugar mixture before air frying them to breakfast perfection.
If you want to make these ahead, you totally can! Freeze them in a single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet then transfer them to a freezer safe container or zip-top bag. I’ve included reheating instruction in the recipe card below for your convenience.
