Description

These Air Fryer French Toast Bites are a quick and delicious breakfast treat, perfect for a snack or a fun twist on traditional French toast. Made with brioche bread and a simple egg mixture seasoned with cinnamon and vanilla, they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, cooked to perfection in the air fryer.

Ingredients

Bread

  • 4 slices brioche

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients & Seasonings

  • Pinch of salt
  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon (divided: ¼ tsp for egg mixture, ½ tsp for sugar coating)
  • ¼ cup granulated sugar

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Cut each brioche slice into 9 small squares, creating bite-sized pieces perfect for quick cooking and easy eating.
  2. Make the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, lightly beat the 2 eggs. Add the ¼ cup milk, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Whisk everything together until smooth and well combined.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and generously spray the basket with cooking oil to prevent sticking and promote crispiness.
  4. Dip the bread cubes: Dip each brioche piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well coated but not soggy.
  5. Arrange in air fryer basket: Place the coated pieces in a single layer in the air fryer basket to allow even cooking.
  6. Air fry the bites: Cook at 350°F for approximately 8-10 minutes, shaking or turning halfway through to ensure all sides turn golden and crispy.
  7. Prepare the cinnamon sugar coating: While the bites air fry, mix the ¼ cup granulated sugar with the remaining ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon in a small bowl.
  8. Coat the finished bites: Once cooked and slightly cooled, toss the French toast bites in the cinnamon sugar mixture until evenly coated for a sweet finish.
  9. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately while warm for the best texture and flavor. These are great with maple syrup or fresh fruit if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure not to soak the brioche cubes excessively in the egg mixture to avoid sogginess.
  • Use brioche or another thick, soft bread for best results; thinner breads may fall apart.
  • You can add a drizzle of maple syrup or a sprinkle of powdered sugar for added sweetness.
  • Adjust cinnamon quantity based on preference or omit for a more neutral flavor.
  • Use a non-stick spray to keep bites from sticking to the air fryer basket.
