AIR FRYER FRENCH TOAST STICKS

French toast sticks from the Air Fryer are dusted with sugar and cinnamon. They come out properly cooked in the air fryer, crispy and wonderful! These sticks of French toast resemble cinnamon sugar doughnuts or churros.

Ingredients:

1. Four pieces of Texas toast or brioche bread
2. two eggs
3. One-third cup of milk
4. One-half teaspoon of vanilla
5. 1/4 cup sugar and 1 tsp cinnamon

DIRECTIONS:

1. Cut the bread into thirds, starting with each piece.
2. Pour your eggs, milk, and vanilla into a bowl or a container with sides (I use a casserole dish). Combine using a whisk or fork.
3. Place the sugar and cinnamon on a platter and stir until well blended.
4. Don’t let the egg mixture soak in; quickly dip both the front and back of each slice of toast in it. Sprinkle the mixture on both the front and back of the slice, or dip it in the cinnamon sugar mixture.
5. Make sure there is space for air to travel between each slice when you arrange them in a single layer on the air fryer tray. (Depending on the size of your air fryer, you will probably need to make these in two to three batches)
6. For 6 to 8 minutes, cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in your air fryer.
7. Present the dish either plain, dusted with powdered sugar, or with maple syrup.

Tips:

1.  Dredge the toast in the egg/milk mixture just a little bit. It will become soggy if you allow it to soak.
2. Dip each side into the cinnamon sugar mixture for a crispy coating. Alternatively, sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture on both sides rather than dipping for a less sweet option.
3. I did not line my basket with parchment paper, but if your air fryer tends to cling, use a liner made of parchment paper.
4. Make sure there is space between each slice of toast as you arrange the bread in your air fryer in a single layer. To ensure that every slice is cooked to perfection, make sure air can flow around it. Keep your air fryer empty! You might need to work on many batches as a result. (I completed two batches).
5. If you want to make extra and store in the fridge or freezer for later, this recipe is very simple to double, triple, or quadruple!
