Why You’ll Love This Recipe
I've had this bag of frozen French toast sticks in my freezer from Aldi that I've been wanting to test for a long time now, and I finally did this weekend. They were so yummy and almost reminded me of a churro. If I wanted a complete breakfast I'd top them with Greek yogurt from Costco and an Air Fryer Hard Boiled Eggs.
- Crispy outside, fluffy inside – no soggy microwave mess here
- Ready in 6–8 minutes – perfect for busy mornings or lazy weekends
- WW and kid-friendly – check your brand for points; they’re easy to fit into your day
- Great for air fryer beginners – literally just pop them in!
Ingredients Needed for Frozen French Toast Sticks in Air Fryer
- Frozen French Toast Sticks – Any brand works! I used Aldi’s Brekki or Eggo sticks.
- Substitution tip: Gluten-free or protein-rich versions also work great.
- Optional Spray Oil – A light mist of avocado or olive oil spray if you want extra crisp.
- Syrup, yogurt, or fruit for serving – Add your favorites for dipping or topping. My favorite is blueberries or strawberries.
Substitution Tips
- No oil? You don’t need it! But if your air fryer tends to dry things out, a quick spray helps.
- WW-friendly? Look for low-sugar or high-protein brands—some have 3 points per 2 sticks.
- Dairy-free? Choose a dairy-free brand or make your own using almond or oat milk French toast sticks.
