AIr Fryer Instructions
- Cut your bread into thin strips. About 4 to 5 strips per slice of bread.
- Combine almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and coconut sugar in a shallow bowl. Whisk together with a fork. Dip each bread strip in the bowl until just coated.
- Place in the air fryer basket. Give enough space between each bread strip. Do not overlap the strips, or put them on top of one another. Be sure that they are in one single layer without touching.

- Combine almond milk, cinnamon, vanilla, and coconut sugar in a shallow bowl. Whisk together with a fork. Dip each bread strip in the bowl until just coated.

- Place French toast sticks on the preheated griddle. Don't overcrowd or allow them to touch.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown on either side.

Notes
- Don't overcrowd the bread sticks no matter what method you use.
- Add your favorite flavorings and spices.
- Don't soak the bread for too long. It can easily become too soggy, and won't bake all the way through.
- Use a heavy duty sandwich bread or bakers bread to avoid your bread from becoming too soggy.
- Cooking times may vary depending on your appliance
