In a shallow bowl, mix the eggs, milk, brown sugar, honey, vanilla, cinnamon, and nutmeg, beating until the eggs are broken up, and everything is mixed well. Place the sticks into the egg mixture and shake to get the excess off. 

As you do, place sticks in your Air Fryer Basket in a single layer, being careful not to crowd the air fryer basket. You can either line your basket with parchment paper or spray it with olive oil spray., or cooking spray.

Pro Tips

  • This recipe will work in any Air Fryer Basket or Oven Model. I have made this through the years in the Ninja Foodi, Instant Pot Vortex, Instant Pot Crisp Lid, and even the Healthy Air Fryer. The kind of air fryer will only change the timing by 1-2 minutes.
  • The recipe will remain the same, but the cooking time may vary.
  • Do not crowd the air fryer basket for best results, as the bread will never fully get crisped up.
  • An excellent option for this recipe is Texas Toast, which is thick bread and does quite well in the Air Fryer.

What Is The Best Bread For French Toast Sticks?

I usually use whatever I have on hand. Regular sandwich bread works, but I highly recommend Texas Toast if you want a great breakfast experience. It comes out great in the air fryer, light and fluffy.

If you are looking for a real treat, Texas Toast makes an amazing French Toast. They are thicker than regular bread and make an excellent treat for the entire family. Fresh bread does not work as well as stale bread; the kind of bread I like to use is day-old bread, french bread, or even thick sliced bread.

How Do You Freeze

Easy, if you want to freeze them, make the French Toast sticks as directed below, and then stick them on a baking sheet in the freezer. As soon as they are frozen solid, remove, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil, place them into a freezer-safe bag or freezer safe container, and then use them as needed. They will last about one month.

Remember to date the bag, and then make sure that you use it. Otherwise, they may become soggy.

How Do You Cook Frozen French Toast Sticks In Air Fryer?

Easy, place the frozen french toast sticks into the air fryer basket and air fry for about 5 minutes, flipping halfway during the air frying time.

Ensure that they are fully cooked before removing them from the air fryer. There is nothing worse than a frozen French Toast Stick for Breakfast.

How To Reheat French Toast In Air Fryer

If you have any leftover homemade French toast sticks, you can either place them in the refrigerator for later or can freeze them. (instructions above)

To refrigerate them after making them, reheat them in the microwave, toaster, or air fryer. Heat until warmed.

How do you air fry frozen french toast sticks?

    So I have cooked these several times – if I use the Pepperidge farm brown swirl bread, I don’t add the dry ingredients and it’s amazing.
    I made it tonight in the foodie using racks and I don’t like the way it stuck to the racks even though I used Pam. The basket is the best way to go – I tried the parchment paper and I didn’t like how it wasn’t as crispy.
    But ❤️ The recipe!!
