If you haven’t jumped on the Air Fryer train, you need to! It’s my favorite appliance and it takes the place of a toaster, toaster oven, microwave, fryer, and microwave (for the most part). I highly recommend purchasing an Air Fryer if you haven’t already! I’ve shared so many easy air fryer recipes with y’all, Including French Toast, Asparagus Fries, Avocado Fries, Air Fryer Hot Dogs and so many other air fryer recipes!
Making these French Toast Sticks couldn’t be easier! Here’s how:
How to make Air Fryer French Toast Sticks:
**scroll all the way down for full ingredient list and step by step printable directions, as well as a step by step video**
- Prepare the bread and egg mixture:
- Slice brioche or challah bread into thick slices. Then each slice into 3-4 sticks (depending on how wide the bread is). Set aside.
- In a medium bowl, add egg, cream/half and half, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon; whisk to combine completely; set aside
- Make an assembly line: setup whisked egg mixture and bread next to each other.
- Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick oil spray (I like to use a MISTO SPRAYER like this one) or use a parchment paper liner so the bread doesn’t stick to the basket (this is important).
- Dip the sticks into the egg mixture being sure to flip and coat both sides. Lift out of the mixture and allow to drip for a few seconds, then place into the air fryer basket. Repeat for remaining sticks.
- I fit 11 sticks in my air fryer, however you may fit more or less depending on the size of the air fryer.
- You may have to do 2-3 batches in the air fryer. Do not overcrowd or they will not get crispy.
- Close the Air Fryer and set to 400 degrees and 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, open the basket and carefully flip the french toast sticks. Close the air fryer and cook 3-4 more minutes at 400 degrees.
- Time may vary slightly depending in air fryer model.
- Remove the french toast sticks when finished and then cook remaining air fryer french toast sticks.
- Serve with warm maple syrup and powdered sugar or your favorite toppings!
How to Freeze Fryer French Toast Sticks:
- Let the french toast sticks cool completely. Place them into a freezer safe bag, then squeeze out remaining air and seal the bag. Place into the freezer. Keep for up to 6 months frozen.
How to re-heat frozen french toast sticks in the Air Fryer:
- Remove the frozen french toast sticks from the bag. Place in the air fryer and cook for 3 minutes at 400 degrees. Flip over and cook another 2 minutes.
- Top with your favorite toppings or serve with maple syrup and enjoy!

Jennifer Gove says
I love my air fryer. I am often stuck for ideas though. We do a lot of fried potatoes. Just cutting them up and tossing in oil and spices and throwing them in. Even my older kids can do it. So much safer too!
On another note we all love french toast but I have to admit it is one of those things I just hatestanding over the stove making where we have such a large family. I never thought of the air fryer even being an option. I think I will give this a try tomorrow. Thank you.
