Description

Delicious and easy-to-make Banana Foster French Toast Sticks cooked in the air fryer for a crispy, golden exterior and tender, flavorful inside. This breakfast treat combines the rich flavors of banana, cinnamon, and vanilla with the convenience of air frying to create a quick and delightful morning meal or snack.

Ingredients

Banana Foster Mixture

  • 3 eggs
  • 2/3 cup milk of your choice
  • 1/2 cup mashed banana
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)

Bread

  • 16 – 20 slices of toast sticks (approximately 4 inches long each)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F. This ensures the toast sticks will cook evenly and develop a crispy crust.
  2. Prepare the Toast Sticks: Slice your toast into thick sticks about 4 inches long. If preferred, you can also leave the slices whole.
  3. Mix the Batter: In a large, slightly rounded dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, mashed banana, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and maple syrup (if using). This mixture infuses the toast sticks with rich Banana Foster flavors.
  4. Coat the Sticks: Dip each toast stick into the banana foster mixture, ensuring they’re fully coated for maximum flavor.
  5. Prepare Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray or line the bottom of the air fryer tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
  6. Arrange and Cook: Place the coated toast sticks in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding. Air fry at 400°F for 12-13 minutes, flipping the sticks halfway through cooking to ensure even browning.
  7. Serve: Remove the French toast sticks from the air fryer and serve warm with your favorite toppings or syrup.

Notes

  • Maple syrup is optional and can be adjusted based on the sweetness of your bread or your taste preference.
  • If you don’t have an air fryer, you can bake the sticks in the oven at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, preferably on a baking rack to ensure even baking.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and even cooking.
