Ingredients 

  • 12 pieces bacon, center cut
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar, divided
  • 1 loaf whole wheat bread, sliced
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup cream
  • 1 teaspoon maple extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F.
  • Combine granulated sugar and ½ tbsp brown sugar in a shallow casserole dish and stir to  mix
  • Dip Both sides of the bacon in the sugar
  • ** Depending on your air fryer, Add 3 tablespoons of water to the bottom of the air fryer basket to prevent smoking from cooking the bacon. We use an instant pot vortex**
  • Place bacon into the air fryer in a single layer and cook for 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare French toast sticks. In a medium mixing bowl, combine eggs, flavored cream, and maple extract. Whisk well. Transfer to a shallow baking dish.
  • Remove the crust from the bread, then use a rolling pin to lightly flatten each slice of bread.
  • Remove bacon from the air fryer basket and cut into 1” pieces. Add to a food processor and pulse to form a crumb mixture. Alternatively, place bacon into a Ziploc baggie and crush it into fine crumbs. Add bacon crumbs to a shallow baking dish with the remaining brown sugar.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F.
  • Dip bread into the eggs, then dip one side in crumbled candied bacon. Tightly roll into a log and place on a baking sheet as you work.
  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with nonstick cooking spray and add French toast sticks in a single layer with half of an inch of space in between. Cook for 4 minutes, turn over and cook for 2 more minutes.
  • Arrange French toast sticks on a platter and serve with maple syrup as dip. Enjoy!
