French toast sticks are such a deliciously nostalgic treat for me, but cooking them up in the air fryer brings them a new life, thanks to modern-day technology.
While making french toast recipes like Muffin Mix French Toast, French Toast with Frozen Waffles, and Sourdough French Toast are easy enough, sometimes time is of the essence and we can't stand over a stove or griddle to cook everything.
Making frozen French toast sticks in the air fryer is simple and easy, perfect for a no-hassle breakfast. Set the timer and walk away. You can even use Freezer French Toast too! Perfect for the meal preppers.

🍯 Why This Recipe Works
- It's easy! Plop the sticks in the fryer, cook, flip, and cook a little more. This recipe is simple and so easy to make that you may find it on the menu a few times this week.
- You can make several servings at once. In the microwave, you can only cook a few on a plate at a time (according to the package directions). In the air fryer, you can cook as many as you can comfortably fit in the basket. Perfect for heating up everyone's food at one time instead of shuffling plates in and out of the microwave all morning.
- It's not time consuming. While this recipe does take a tad longer than using the microwave, it still doesn't take too long. Within 5 minutes, you can have a few servings worth of french toast ready to eat. I usually use that time to locate my kid's missing shoes or the car keys if it's a school day.

🍴 Recipe Tips
- Try different flavors. Looking to switch up your French toast? Give the cinnamon sugar French toast sticks a try for an incredibly flavorful twist!
- Flipping is important. For even crispiness all around, don't forget to flip the French toast halfway through cooking.
- No need to thaw. Thawing is not required before cooking the sticks.
- Try to keep an even layer. Ensure the frozen sticks are arranged in the air fryer without overlapping to avoid cold spots.
- No spray needed. Pre-greasing the air fryer basket is unnecessary.
- Air fryers may vary. Keep an eye on cooking time, as it may vary depending on your specific air fryer model. Adjust accordingly for the best results.
🍳 Reheating
To reheat any leftovers, simply place them in the air fryer basket and heat at 350 degrees F for 2-3 minutes or until warmed through and crispy. Enjoy!
🥗 Side Dishes
Some great side dish ideas include any of your favorite breakfast side dishes from scrambled eggs to hashbrowns and fresh fruits.
You can even take these french toast sticks to the next level with some Mixed Berry Syrup and whipped cream!
👩🏻🍳 Storage
I recommend only making the french toast as you are prepared to eat them because they taste best when fresh. Leftover sticks can be reheated but they don't taste as great as freshly cooked ones.
Keep your leftovers in an airtight container or gallon sized Ziploc baggie in the fridge for up to 4 or 5 days. This could be great for meal prepping.
💭 Recipe FAQs
They should be finished cooking in about 5-7 minutes depending on the temperature used and how thick your frozen toast sticks are.
Frozen french toast sticks are not ready to eat until after they've been fully cooked at home. The internal temperature should reach a minimum of 165 degrees F.
Yes. These sticks are the same as french toast, except that instead of being served up as a full slice of bread, it's several strips, about an inch thick. Imagine taking a slice of bread and cutting it into 4 long strips, and that's pretty much the only difference.
Arrange frozen French Toast Sticks in air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for about 6 minutes or until done. Remove and serve topped with maple syrup!
