Equipment Needed

• Air Fryer – we now use a Ninja Foodi Max Dual Zone Air Fryer – the 9.5 litre two drawer cooking space is BRILLIANT when you’re cooking for a family or cook larger portions. Or just like to cook two different things on different settings at the same time!  

• Shallow bowl

• Fork

• Tongs – just makes it easier to lift the toast from the air fryer basket. I’d 100% recommend you get yourself a set of silicone tongs if you do a lot of air fry cooking. They just make it so much easier to flip and remove food. Plus they don’t scratch the air fryer non-stick coating.

Ingredients Needed To Make Air Fryer French Toast

You'll only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this delicious air fryer breakfast recipe

• Bread - we use a thick slice of white bloomer. But you can use any bread slices you like. If you want true indulgence opt for butter enriched brioche bread, challah or a good sourdough.

• Egg - large eggs for this recipe

• Milk - we use whole milk, but you can swap this for heavy cream if you prefer. Or if you need dairy-free opt for a plant based type of milk like almond milk or oat milk.

• Ground cinnamon - just as much or little as you like. You could use teaspoon vanilla extract if cinnamon isn't your thing.

• Cooking spray - make your own olive oil cooking spray

• Maple syrup - this air fryer French toast is lush with a drizzle of maple syrup, but you could also use honey or golden syrup

How To Make French Toast In The Air Fryer - Step-By-Step Instructions

It's SUPER easy to cook delicious French toast in the air fryer and this recipe is packed with flavor!

Step One - make the eggy mixture

• Break the egg into a shallow bowl, pour in the milk and add a pinch of cinnamon.

• Whisk the egg, milk and cinnamon together using a fork. This makes the French toast batter.

Step Two - soak the bread in the egg mixture

• Take your slice of bread and dip and press it into the egg mixture, let the bread soak up the egg. Then flip the piece of bread over and soak the other side.

Step Three - air fry the French toast

• Spritz the bottom of the air fryer basket using cooking spray to stop the toast sticking.

• Place the egg soaked bread into the air fryer basket.

• Air fry at 200C for around 5 minutes (or until cooked through and golden). Flip the French toast over half way through the cooking time using silicone tongs.

Step Four - serve the air fryer French toast

• Remove the French toast from the air fryer and serve with your favourite toppings.
