Description

Delight in these crispy and sweet Air Fryer French Toast Bites, perfect for a quick breakfast or snack. Made with tender brioche squares coated in a cinnamon-vanilla egg mixture, then air fried to golden perfection and dusted with cinnamon sugar for an indulgent treat.

Ingredients

For the French Toast Bites

  • 4 slices brioche
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • Pinch of salt
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • ¾ tsp ground cinnamon (divided)

For the Cinnamon Sugar Coating

  • ¼ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon (remaining from ¾ tsp total)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the brioche: Cut each brioche slice into 9 little squares to form bite-sized pieces perfect for air frying.
  2. Make the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ¼ teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and spray the basket generously with cooking oil to prevent sticking.
  4. Dip the bread: Dip each brioche square into the egg mixture for about 5 seconds on each side, ensuring they are well coated. Only dip as many pieces as will fit comfortably in the air fryer basket without overcrowding.
  5. Air fry: Arrange the coated brioche squares in a single layer in the basket and air fry for 5 to 8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
  6. Prepare cinnamon sugar: While the bites cook, mix the remaining ½ teaspoon of cinnamon with the granulated sugar in a small bowl.
  7. Coat the bites: As soon as the French toast bites come out of the air fryer, toss them in the cinnamon-sugar mixture, allowing the sugar to stick evenly for a sweet finish.
  8. Repeat and serve: Repeat the dipping, frying, and coating process with the remaining bread squares. Serve warm, optionally garnished with powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a combination of these.

Notes

  • Use brioche bread for the best texture and flavor due to its rich, buttery nature.
  • If your air fryer basket is small, cook the bites in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk with almond or oat milk.
  • Serve immediately for the crispiest texture, or reheat briefly in the air fryer.
  • Optional toppings include powdered sugar, maple syrup, fresh berries, or whipped cream.
