Ingredients
  

For the French Toast Bites
  • 3 large eggs These are the heart of your bites, providing richness and binding.
  • 2-3 tablespoons milk of choice Use any milk you love for a creamy touch.
  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup Adds a delightful sweetness that pairs well with cinnamon.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt A pinch to enhance the flavors beautifully.
  • 6 ounces hearty white bread (e.g. sourdough or day-old French bread) Ideal for soaking up the egg mixture, lending structure and flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon For that comforting spice that warms the soul.
  • avocado oil or parchment paper A little oil to keep things from sticking, or use parchment for easy cleanup.
For Toppings
  • powdered sugar To dust the bites for sweetness.
  • maple syrup For drizzling over the bites.
  • strawberries To serve fresh and vibrant.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, and salt until perfectly blended.
  2. Gently fold in the bread cubes, ensuring they are well-coated with the egg mixture.
  3. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the top and stir to combine.
  4. Let the mixture sit for a few minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
Cooking
  1. Coat the bottom of your air fryer basket with avocado oil or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Place the soaked bread cubes in a single layer in the basket, leaving space for air circulation.
  3. Set the air fryer to 350°F and cook for 7-10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through.
  4. Check for doneness; they should be golden brown and crispy.
  5. Serve immediately with powdered sugar and fresh strawberries.

Notes

For best results, avoid overcrowding the air fryer. Experiment with different types of bread and toppings for a unique twist.
