Ingredients
Bread
For this recipe, you will need 6 slices of thick-cut bread. Texas toast or brioche works best because they soak up the egg mixture without falling apart. The thickness ensures that the sticks stay moist inside while getting crispy on the outside.
Eggs
You will need 2 large eggs for this recipe. Eggs act as the binding agent, giving structure and richness to the French toast sticks. They help create a creamy custard that adds flavor and moisture to every bite.
Milk
Use 1/2 cup of whole milk for this recipe. Milk adds creaminess and helps create a smooth batter when mixed with eggs. It also balances the sweetness from the sugar and enriches the overall flavor of your French toast sticks.
Cinnamon
1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon is required. This spice adds warmth and sweetness, making your French toast truly aromatic and flavorful. Feel free to adjust the amount based on your preference for cinnamon.
Sugar
You will need 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar for coating. This sweetens the batter and creates that delightful sugary crust when baked in the air fryer. Mixing it with cinnamon enhances its flavor even more.
Cooking Spray
A light coating of cooking spray is essential for crispiness. It prevents sticking during cooking while ensuring that your French toast sticks achieve that golden-brown finish without excess oil.
