Crispy, golden Air Fryer French Toast Sticks make a delicious and easy breakfast or snack. Made with thick sliced bread, these cinnamon sugar-coated sticks are cooked perfectly in the air fryer for a healthier twist on classic French toast. Serve warm with maple syrup for a sweet treat that’s quick to prepare and irresistibly tasty.

Ingredients

Scale

For the French Toast Sticks

  • 4 slices thick sliced bread (stale, like Texas toast)
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Optional

  • Maple syrup, for serving

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) if your model requires preheating to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare Bread Sticks: Slice each of the 4 thick bread slices into four sticks lengthwise, setting them aside to assemble later.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  4. Combine Dry Ingredients: In another shallow bowl, mix the granulated sugar and cinnamon thoroughly to create the cinnamon sugar coating.
  5. Dip Bread Sticks: Quickly dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, coating all sides lightly without soaking, and shake off any excess liquid.
  6. Air Fry: Place the coated bread sticks in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for about 8 minutes, flipping each stick halfway through, until they’re golden and crispy.
  7. Toss in Cinnamon Sugar: Immediately after cooking, toss the hot French toast sticks in the cinnamon sugar mixture so the coating sticks well while warm.
  8. Serve: Serve your air fryer French toast sticks fresh and warm with maple syrup on the side if desired.

Notes

  • Use stale bread like Texas toast for best texture that holds up during dipping and air frying.
  • Do not soak the bread sticks in the egg mixture; a quick dip ensures they stay crisp.
  • Flip halfway through cooking to achieve even crispiness on all sides.
  • Coat immediately after cooking for cinnamon sugar to stick properly.
  • Maple syrup is optional but highly recommended for serving.
