Description

Make golden, crispy Air Fryer Captain Crunch French Toast at home. A fun, kid-friendly breakfast that’s quick, easy, and loaded with sweet cereal crunch.

Ingredients 

  • 6 slices Texas Toast Bread
  • 3 large eggs
  • 2 cups Cap’n Crunch Cereal, crushed
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon

Instructions

  • Crush the 2 cups Cap’n Crunch Cereal into small, coarse pieces in a shallow bowl. Mix in the 1 tsp cinnamon and 2 tbsp granulated sugar for extra flavor.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk together the 3 large eggs, 1 cup heavy cream,4 tbsp butter and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
  • Dip each slice of 6 slices Texas Toast Bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are fully coated. Then press the soaked bread into the crushed Cap’n Crunch cereal, covering both sides with the crunchy coating.
  • Lightly grease the air fryer basket with butter or nonstick spray. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F (190°C) for 3–5 minutes if your model requires preheating.
  • Place the coated slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 6–8 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the bread is golden brown and the cereal coating is crispy.
  • Remove from the air fryer and top with syrup, fresh fruit, or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired. Serve warm and enjoy a fun, crunchy breakfast treat!
