Air Fryer Cinnamon Toast Recipe Tips

  • Use Fresh Bread: For the best texture, use fresh bread that’s not too stale. Thicker slices work well for a crispy outer layer and soft interior.
  • Adjust Cooking Time: Every air fryer is different, so check the toast after 2 minutes. If you like it extra crispy, add a minute or two.
  • Experiment with Toppings: Feel free to top your cinnamon toast with nuts, chocolate chips, or a drizzle of honey for added flavor.
  • Butter Substitute: If you’re looking for a dairy-free option, swap out butter for coconut oil or a dairy-free spread.
  • Use a Parchment Liner: If you prefer minimal mess, use a parchment paper liner in the air fryer basket to catch any butter drips.
  • Flavor Variations: Try adding a pinch of nutmeg, cardamom, or cocoa powder to the cinnamon-sugar mix for an extra kick of flavor.
  • Watch for Burning: Keep an eye on the toast while it cooks, as the sugar can burn easily if left too long.
  • Customize Sweetness: Adjust the amount of sugar to your preference—less for a lighter version, or more for a sweeter treat!

Storing

  • Storing: To store air fryer cinnamon toast, place it in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days. If you want to keep it longer, refrigerate it for up to a week, but it may lose some crispiness.
  • Freezing: For freezing, wrap the cinnamon toast slices individually in plastic wrap or foil and store them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to a month, preserving their flavor.
  • Reheating: To reheat, place the cinnamon toast back in the air fryer for 1-2 minutes at 350°F to regain its crispy texture. You can also reheat it in the oven for a few minutes at 375°F, but air frying is the quickest option.
