Air Fryer French Toast Sticks with Cinnamon Mascarpone Sauce

6 · Jan 28, 2021 ·

I was surprised to see air fryer recipes trending on Pinterest. What’s the big deal? Turns out, I’ve been missing out. You can make so many more things with an air fryer than I realized. Not just French fries – the classic option for hungry vegetarians everywhere – but also donuts, shortbread, fritters, and get this – French toast! 

Air fryer French toast sticks, to be precise. With a topping of cinnamon mascarpone, this recipe is the ultimate brunch crowd-pleaser. And the thing is, when you cook with an air fryer, you cook fast. So you won’t need to spend an entire morning frying, plus you’re using less oil than normal. This means you’re getting a healthier breakfast option, while still keeping that same crisp and crunch that you crave.

Air Fryer French Toast Sticks with Cinnamon Mascarpone Sauce

If this recipe sounds too good to be true… wait, there’s more! There’s an entire book dedicated to plant-based air fryer recipes, and I’m hooked! The Epic Air Fryer Plant-Powered Cookbook by Michelle Anderson is a revelation for those of use who neglected their air fryer for so many years. 

“The air fryer is not just for carnivores. Whether you are a full-time vegetarian or one of the millions of omnivores who are adding more plant-based dishes and meals to your weekly routine, you will love the imaginative, healthy, and terrifically tasty ideas in this book.”
