Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll French Toast Recipe Tips

  • Preheat Your Air Fryer: Always preheat your air fryer for a few minutes before adding your casserole.
  • Use a Suitable Dish: Ensure you use an air fryer-safe dish that fits comfortably within your air fryer, allowing for proper air circulation.
  • Check For Doneness: Air fryers can vary in cooking times. Use a toothpick or knife to check for doneness. If it comes out clean, your casserole is ready.
  • Rotate or Shake: Halfway through the cooking process, rotate your dish (if your air fryer doesn’t rotate automatically) to ensure even browning.
  • Tent with Foil: If you notice the top browning too quickly but the inside still needs more time, you can tent the casserole with foil to prevent further browning while continuing to cook.
  • Add Toppings at the End: If you’re adding toppings like nuts, chocolate chips, or fruit, consider adding them towards the end of the cooking process to prevent burning.
  • Let It Rest: Once cooked, allow the casserole to sit for a few minutes before serving.

Air Fryer Cinnamon Roll French Toast Recipe Faqs

Can I use fresh bread instead of canned cinnamon rolls? Yes, you can use fresh bread, preferably one that’s a day old. It’ll soak up the custard mixture better.

Can I make this ahead of time? Yes, you can prepare the casserole and store it in the refrigerator overnight. Before air frying, let it sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes.

Do I need to use the icing that comes with the cinnamon rolls? It’s optional. Drizzling the icing over the cooked casserole adds extra sweetness and flavor, but if you prefer, you can omit it or use a different topping.

Can I add fruits or nuts to this recipe? Absolutely! Blueberries, raisins, pecans, or walnuts can be great additions. Just ensure they are evenly distributed for uniform cooking.

What should I serve with the Cinnamon Baked French Toast? This dish pairs well with fresh fruits, whipped cream, maple syrup, or even a dusting of powdered sugar.

How can I store leftovers? Store any leftover French toast casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the air fryer or microwave before serving.

Can I use regular milk instead of cream? Yes, you can substitute regular milk, but using cream gives the casserole a richer texture and flavor.
