Step 1

Spray the air fryer basket generously with cooking spray.

Step 2

Preheat the air fryer to 350°F for about 5 minutes. While it heats up, slice each piece of bread into four pieces by cutting it in half vertically, then horizontally.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and ¼ teaspoon cinnamon. Whisk until well blended.

Step 4

In a small bowl, mix the sugar and remaining 1 teaspoon cinnamon to make the cinnamon-sugar mixture.

Step 5

Working in batches of 6, dunk the bread pieces into the egg mixture, soaking each side for about 10 seconds to ensure the bread is coated evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle each side of the bread with the cinnamon sugar mixture and place them in the air fryer, leaving space between each.

Step 7

Cook for 4 minutes, flip the bread, then cook for another 4 minutes.

Step 8

Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar. Serve with maple syrup and/or whipped cream.
