Hey there, breakfast lovers! ๐โโ๏ธ Let me tell you about my absolute favorite morning treat thatโs been making waves in my kitchen โ Air Fryer French Toast Sticks! Trust me, once you try these crispy-on-the-outside, custardy-on-the-inside pieces of heaven, youโll never want regular French toast again.
You know those mornings when you want something special but donโt want to spend forever in the kitchen? Girl, Iโve got you covered! These French toast sticks are not only Instagram-worthy but also take just 10 minutes to make. Plus, theyโre perfect for those of us who love to dip and dunk our breakfast (guilty as charged! ๐โโ๏ธ).
What Youโll Need:
โ 6 thick slices of brioche bread (Texas toast works too!)
โ 2 large eggs
โ 1/2 cup whole milk
โ 1 tsp vanilla extract
โ 1 tsp cinnamon
โ 2 tbsp sugar
โ A pinch of salt
โ Cooking spray
โ Your favorite toppings (maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries)
Now, letโs get cooking!
1. Cut each bread slice into 3 even strips. Pro tip: slightly stale bread works better โ it soaks up all that custard goodness without falling apart!
1. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, and salt until well combined. Donโt skip the vanilla โ itโs literally the secret weapon here!
1. Dip each bread strip into the mixture, making sure to coat all sides. But donโt let it swim in there too long, honey โ weโre making French toast, not bread soup! ๐

1. Preheat your air fryer to 370ยฐF and give the basket a quick spritz with cooking spray.
1. Place the soaked bread strips in a single layer in your air fryer basket. Donโt overcrowd them โ these babies need their space!
1. Air fry for 6-8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until theyโre golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Serve these bad boys hot with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, and fresh berries if youโre feeling fancy (and letโs be honest, weโre always feeling fancy! ๐โโ๏ธ).
The best part? These freeze beautifully! Make a big batch on Sunday, and youโll have breakfast ready to go all week long. Just pop them back in the air fryer for 2-3 minutes to reheat.
Yโall, I canโt even tell you how many times this recipe has saved my morning routine. Itโs like having restaurant-quality breakfast without leaving your house or spending a fortune!
