Ingredients
  

6 slices of thick bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)

2 large eggs

½ cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tbsp sugar (optional)

1 tbsp butter (melted, for brushing)

Maple syrup and powdered sugar (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and sugar (if using) until well combined.

    Cut the Bread: Slice each piece of bread into 3 equal strips to make sticks.

      Drench the Bread: Dip each stick of bread into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well coated. Let the excess mixture drip off.

        Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.

          Arrange in Air Fryer: Lightly brush the air fryer basket with melted butter to prevent sticking. Place the French toast sticks in a single layer in the basket; do not overcrowd.

            Air-Fry: Cook the sticks in the air fryer at 350°F for about 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and crispy.

              Serve: Remove the French toast sticks from the air fryer. Dust with powdered sugar and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping.
