Bread: You can use any bread slices you have on hand. I tend to like thicker Texas toast or french bread.
Eggs: The egg helps to make the batter that the french toast sticks are coated in to create the delicious crust.
Heavy Cream: The cream in the milk mixture gives the french toast extra sweetness. You can sub cream for milk. I don’t suggest skim milk though, as that is very watery.
Brown Sugar: The brown sugar helps to sweeten the french toast mixture. You could sub in white sugar.
How to Make Air Fryer French Toast Sticks
Step 1: Create Batter: Preheat the airfryer for 3 minutes at 375° degrees F. Combine the eggs, heavy cream, cinnamon, brown sugar and melted butter and whisk.
Step 2: Dip French Toast Sticks: Dip the bread pieces in the batter and flip over to coat.
Step 3: Air Fry: Spray the air fryer basket with non stick cooking spray. Place the dipped French toast in the basket, making sure they do not touch. Place the basket in the air fryer and set at 375° and fry for 3 minutes. Flip the toast over and spray with nonstick cooking spray.
Fry an additional 3 minutes. Repeat until all the pieces have been fried. Serve immediately the French toast sticks with fresh berries and maple syrup.
