Ingredients

• I use almond milk in this recipe because it’s lower in fat than dairy milk and contains fewer calories. Almond milk is also low in sugar, so your air fried french toast doesn’t end up too sweet. You can switch the almond milk to oat or soy milk if you prefer.
• If you don’t have any maple syrup, you can use agave or honey instead. It will alter the flavor slightly, but it will still taste good!
• I like to use avocado oil for this recipe, but you can switch it out for any other neutral-tasting oil.

Tools used to make the recipe:

• Shallow dish
• Whisk
• Air fryer
• Oil sprayer bottle
