Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk of choice dairy or dairy-free
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 6 ounces hearty bread sourdough or day-old French bread, cut into large cubes
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Avocado oil for greasing or air fryer-safe parchment paper
  • For topping: powdered sugar maple syrup, fresh fruit (optional)

Instructions

  • Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and salt until well combined.
  • Prepare the Bread: Cut the bread into bite-sized cubes. If using fresh bread, let it sit out for a few minutes to dry slightly.
  • Soak the Bread: Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture and stir gently to coat each piece. Sprinkle cinnamon over the bread cubes and mix until evenly distributed. Let the bread sit for a minute to soak up the liquid if necessary.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 5 minutes.
  • Grease the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with avocado oil or line with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  • Air Fry the French Toast Bites: Place the soaked bread cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F for 7-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking. Continue cooking until the bites are golden and crispy.
  • Serve: Serve immediately with powdered sugar, maple syrup, and fresh fruit as desired.

Notes

  • Bread Choice: The best bread for Air Fryer French Toast Bites is hearty and slightly stale. Fresh bread can also be used by adding a bit more milk and allowing it to soak longer.
  • Customization: Add other spices like nutmeg or vanilla extract for a different flavor twist. You can also stir in chocolate chips or dried fruit for added texture.
  • Reheating: Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 days. Reheat them in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes to restore their crispiness.
