Quick and easy air fryer French toast sticks with a crispy outside and tender custardy center, coated in cinnamon sugar for a comforting breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 thick slices of white or brioche bread
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) whole milk (or almond/oat milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup (50 g) granulated sugar (for topping)
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (for topping)
  • Butter or cooking spray (for greasing air fryer basket)

Instructions

  1. Cut 6 thick slices of bread into 1-inch wide sticks. Let fresh bread sit out for 10-15 minutes to dry slightly.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together 3 large eggs, 1/2 cup whole milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon until well blended.
  3. Working in batches, dip each bread stick into the batter, soaking for 10 seconds on each side. Let excess drip off before placing in the air fryer basket.
  4. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with butter or cooking spray. Place dipped bread sticks in a single layer without overcrowding.
  6. Cook for 7 minutes, flipping halfway through for even browning, until golden brown and slightly puffed.
  7. While cooking, mix 1/4 cup granulated sugar with 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon in a shallow bowl.
  8. Once cooked, immediately toss the hot French toast sticks in the cinnamon sugar mixture to coat evenly.
  9. Serve warm with maple syrup or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Do not soak bread sticks too long to avoid sogginess. Use thick-cut, day-old bread for best texture. Preheat air fryer for consistent results. Flip sticks halfway through cooking. Lightly grease basket to prevent sticking. If sticks are not crispy enough, air fry for an additional 1-2 minutes. Fresh cinnamon is preferred for better flavor.
