Air Fryer French Toast

My Air Fryer French Toast is light, fluffy, and full of yummy cinnamon and vanilla flavors. This classic breakfast just got so much easier to whip up thanks to the air fryer — all you need are 5 ingredients and about 10 minutes to make it!

Air Fryer French Toast

This morning I decided to make French toast. Actually, I made several batches of it. Remember… I have teenage boys to feed in my house!

Instead of making it on the stovetop like I usually do, I decided to use my air fryer instead. And I’m happy to report that it was one of the easiest breakfast recipes I’ve ever made.

The batter is certainly rich thanks to the eggs and milk. But, never fear! When added to the bread and then air fried, your French toast in air fryer is guaranteed to come out light and fluffy every time.

This simple French toast air fryer recipe can easily be doubled, tripled, or even quadrupled if you’re expecting guests. I will most definitely be making it around the holidays when family and friends are in town visiting. In the meantime, my boys would happily eat this every morning!

Ingredients Needed for Air Fried French Toast

You don’t need anything too complicated to make French toast in your air fryer! In fact, you likely already have everything you need. You’ll use the same ingredients as you would in a traditional French toast recipe.

For complete ingredients and quantities, as well as the nutritional information, keep on scrolling until you get to the bottom with a printable recipe card.

• Bread: You can use whatever kind of bread you’d like. I ended up grabbing some simple white sandwich bread because that’s what I had at home! Whole wheat, multigrain, or even French or Italian bread would also work. Basically, if it fits in the air fryer, you can use it! Challah or brioche are also great options.
• Eggs & Milk: To make the French toast batter! You’ll beat the eggs first and then add the milk. They both add richness to the overall flavor of your French toast, plus act as a vehicle for the vanilla and cinnamon.
• Vanilla & Cinnamon: Here’s where the sweet and warm flavors you know and love about French toast come from! I like pure vanilla extract, but you could also use vanilla bean paste if that’s what you prefer. I wouldn’t skip the cinnamon!

How to Air Fry French Toast

Making air fryer French toast couldn’t be much easier! Once you get going, this recipe moves very quickly. You’ll be munching on your creations before you know it.

Step 1: Crack the eggs

Crack both eggs into a medium-sized bowl.

Step 2: Add the milk

Pour the milk into the bowl.

Step 3: Mix

Use a fork to beat the eggs into the milk until well combined.

Step 4: Add the cinnamon & vanilla

Introduce the cinnamon and vanilla into the same bowl. Use your fork to mix until well combined.

Step 5: Add to pan

Spray an air fryer-safe pan with a bit of nonstick cooking oil. I use this pan almost every day!

Step 6: Air fry

Place your French toast in the air fryer and air fry at 375 degrees F for 6 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Serve with butter and maple syrup, and enjoy!

French Toast Air Fryer Pro Tips

• Use Up Stale Bread: This French toast recipe is a great one for using up any stale bread you may have! It will soak up the egg mixture better, giving you a crispier outside and softer inside.
• For the best golden-brown crust, make sure that egg mixture isn’t too runny. A thicker batter will coat the bread better!
• Don’t Overcrowd: You want to avoid overcrowding the pan, or your air fryer basket if that’s what you’re using. If you squish too many slices of bread inside, your air fried French toast won’t cook evenly.
• If you are thinking about using your air fryer basket, I can’t say enough good things about using a pan instead. You can keep reusing it to make as much air fryer French toast as you need without having to go in and clean the basket out each time.
• Experiment with Toppings: Whenever I make French toast in air fryer, I let my kids choose their own toppings. Butter and maple syrup are classic choices, but sometimes they ask for something a bit more decadent! Cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, fresh fruit, or whipped cream are all up for grabs!
