Air Fryer French Toast Sticks

Ingredients

• 4 slices bread, (wheat or gluten-free)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/3 cup milk, (dairy or plant-based)
• 1 tbsp butter, (melted)
• 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp cinnamon
• pure maple syrup

Instructions

   Slice bread: Cut bread slices into 3 or 4 strips.

4. 4

   Dip bread: Lay strips in the egg mixture for about 10 seconds, then flip them over to soak the other side.

5. 5

   Remove excess: Once the air fryer is preheated, carefully lift the bread strips out letting excess egg drip into the dish.

   Arrange the strips in the air fryer basket so they are not touching each other.

   Fry for 6 minutes at 375°F. Check to see that they are crisp on both sides. If not, use tongs to flip the strips over and fry on the other side for 2 - 3 minutes more.
