O, French Toast. I think I’ve finally conquered humanity’s biggest struggle with French toast. We’ve discussed the whole “soggy bread” thing multiple times on Strength and Sunshine, so you know my feelings about it. But wait! We never have to deal with subpar French toast EVER again! We all can reclaim French toast as “TOAST” and now soggy, mushy, squares of sadness! Crisp and ready to be dosed with maple syrup (the only thing that should have the ability to make French toast soggy).

AIR FRY IT! Yes! The key to French toast success is simply to place it in the air fryer! You don’t need any oil or butter to “fry” this bready breakfast deliciousness, just a dip in some coconut milk and baking powder, then shredded coconut. Pop it into the air fryer and in about 4 minutes flat, you have TOASTED Coconut French Toast! It comes out perfectly and is so quick and easy, you may just start making French toast (toasted coconut french toast to be exact) daily!

You know, I’d originally made this toasted coconut French toast a year or two ago using the traditional “pan-fry” method. Nothing wrong with that, but that required toasted the coconut separately before coating the bread slices. With my GoWISE air fryer, that step is taken out. The shredded coconut, on all sides of the bread, gets perfectly toasted with that hot air magic!

Even though it may be “Spring” (technically speaking), winter doesn’t seem to have abated much. I think this was the worst winter season I’ve had in recent memories of my 21 years. Break out some tropical coconut inspo for breakfast and it may just have the ability to make me feel better. If I can’t feel the summer warmth and joy on my body, at least I can taste it…right? Coconut tends to do that; that’s why I love it so much! (And I’m just really egging on Mother Nature to hurry the arrival of summer and just skip Spring!)

As we know, toasting, anything, brings out the flavor of the “toasted”. With the GoWISE air fryer making this toasted coconut French toast perfectly golden brown, the aromas, the taste, the delicious crisp bite paired with a drizzle (or pour) or pure luscious maple syrup…taste bud heaven! None of the eggy-taste, sogginess, disproportionate burnt spots. Literally, air-fried French toast is the PERFECT French toast. Don’t just take my word for it though…try it for yourself!

Another delicious reason to get yourself a GoWISE air fryer so you can enjoy the tropical breakfast perfection that is air fryer toasted coconut French toast! This French toast really did shake up the “Breakfast Trifecta” that is #1 Pancakes, #2 Waffles, #3 French Toast. Think we can make pancakes in the air fryer? Possibly a Dutch baby! That may just be my next experiment…stay tuned!

So tell me:

+ What do you want to see air-fried next?

    Oh my looooord. This sounds amazing! Never would I ever have thought about using an air fryer, but it makes so much sense! I don’t have an air fryer, but I may be leaning towards getting one now. YUM!

    I don’t have a air fryer but I love coconuts! Will try a variation of this – might not be as healthy as yours but I will make it and pair with fruits 😊

      Any French toast will be single-serve, haha, depending on how many slices of bread you get out!

    I keep seeing all these delicious recipes Rebecca, using an air fryer, and it’s making me more eager to get one!

    I just got an Optimum VAC2 Air Vacuum Blender though so I’m going to have to persuade Lynne to let me have an air fryer and I’ll have to create some space in the cupboard for one!

    This seems like such a simple and delicious French Toast recipe. Yum!

    These sound so good. I know my whole family would love them, except we don’t have an air fryer. I’m thinking that maybe I could put the toast on a baking rack in my convection oven.

      Guess it’s time to get one! (Or make French toast like you normally would…in a pan on the stove….)

    I have been trying to find new ways to use my air fryer, but I never thought of french toast. Thank you for the recipe. I know what I will be making this weekend!

    I’m not a fan of coconut but my husband would love this! I’ve been on the fence about purchasing an air fryer because we just got the instant pot! Looks like I’ll have to snag one on our next trip to Walmart! Great suggestion!

      No. But until you have an air fryer, you can make this French toast traditionally in a pan on the stove.

    What a great idea to use the air fryer! That perfect golden coating makes them look so crispy! Saving this one, and hopefully it will motivate me even more to buy an air fryer! 😉
