Air Fryer French Toast Sticks

Air Fryer French Toast Sticks are quick and easy. They taste exactly like French toast cooked in a pan full of butter but better – no butter needed.

I’m amazed at all of the things I can make in my versatile Air Fryer. I actually own two air fryers – one from Hamilton Beach and one from Cuisinart. I like them both, but for different reasons and different food. I tested these Air Fryer French Toast Sticks in my Cuisinart but I the cook time seemed to be much longer and they didn’t stay as fluffy as I like my French toast. So for this recipe, I recommend the Hamilton Beach Air Fryer.

For the best French Toast, you’ve got to select the right kind of bread. I highly recommend a thick cut bread like Texas Toast. Or a butter Brioche loaf, which is what I used for this recipe. The first step is to cut off all of the crust and then cut the squares in half so you have equal-sized “sticks”.

Next, I let my bread “sticks” set out on the counter for about 3 hours so they get a little bit stale so they can soak up all of that good egg mixture.

When you are cooking in an air fryer, you’ll find that you need to work in batches, especially if you are making large portions. But no worries – it’s not different than working in batches using a stove-top skillet to make French toast.

Krazy Kitchen Mom Tips:

1. You’ll want to flip the French toast sticks half way through cooking. I recommend using 2 forks to flip them over.
2. I recommend that you line your air fryer with parchments paper before cooking the French toast.
3. You can freeze cooked Air Fryer French Toast Sticks and easily reheat them on busy weekday mornings by placing them in the microwave for about 30-40 seconds.
   1. To freeze, wrap 3-4 in plastic wrap and store them in a zip-top bag.
