Copycat Kneaders French Toast Recipe -- You'll love this air fryer copycat recipe if you're a fan of Kneaders Bakery & Café's mouthwatering French toast.

Ingredients 

Kneader's French Toast:

  • 1 loaf French bread
  • 6 large eggs
  • 3 cups milk
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Homemade Caramel Syrup:

  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1 cup corn syrup

Instructions

  • Start by slicing your bread into 2-inch slices. Add the eggs, milk, brown sugar, kosher salt, and vanilla extract in a large bowl.
  • Then dip your bread into the egg mixture; as you coat it, place it into a greased air fryer basket or parchment-lined air fryer.
  • Grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray, or line the bottom of the air fryer basket with parchment paper, to prevent sticking. Arrange the dipped bread slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook the French toast in batches.
  • Set the air fryer cooking temperature to 330 degrees F, and set the cooking time for 8-12 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Flip the slices halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning on both sides.
  • While cooking French toast, add the brown sugar, heavy whipping cream, and corn syrup in a small saucepan, and mix well. Simmer over medium heat, and mix until smooth; remove and let cool for a few minutes.
  • To serve, drizzle the caramel syrup over the French toast., and serve with freshly sliced fruit.
