Crispy and fluffy air fried cinnamon french toast bites.
What type of bread would you recommend for this recipe?
I highly recommend using brioche bread if you want the best texture. For a more nutrient-dense option, you can opt for a thick cut whole wheat or wheat grain bread or sourdough.
Can I substitute the egg whites for regular egg?
Yes! Substitute the egg whites for 1 large egg + 2 tbsp milk.
