Ingredients

  • 2 slices gluten-free whole grain, or sprouted grain bread find something that is hearty and not too soft
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tablespoon unsweetened vanilla almond milk or whatever milk you have
  • 2 teaspoons maple syrup plus more for dipping
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or more my daughter likes a lot
  • ½ teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • Cooking oil spray I used coconut oil spray
  • Parchment paper - this is a must!!

Instructions

Air Fryer

  • Line bottom of air fryer basket with parchment paper - this is super important, as it prevents sticking. 
  • Next, slice your bread into 4 equal sticks.  Mix egg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon together.  Dip bread into egg mixture and coat well, but shake off the excess egg. 
  • Place sticks on parchment and spray with cooking oil spray.  Don’t overcrowd them - you may need to do two batches if your Air Fryer is really small.
  • Set to 360 and cook for ten minutes, flipping halfway and removing the parchment paper for the second half of cooking. You may need a little more or a little less time depending on your desired crispiness.  We liked ours very crispy!

Oven

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Next, slice your bread into 4 equal sticks.  Mix egg, milk, maple syrup, vanilla and cinnamon together.  Dip bread into egg mixture and coat well, but shake off the excess egg. 
  • Place sticks on baking sheet lined with parchment and spray with cooking oil spray.  Bake for 16-18 minutes, flipping halfway through. 

Notes
