- 1/2 Cup Milk
- 2 Tbsp. Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon Pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
For the Coating:
- 6 Slices of bread (stale bread works well)

Instructions
- Prepare the Pumpkin French Toast Mixture – In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, pumpkin puree, milk, brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin pie spice, and salt until well combined. Set aside.
- Prepare the Coating – In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, granulated sugar, and cinnamon. Mix well to create the coating mixture.
- Cut the Bread – Trim the crusts off the bread slices and cut them into sticks, about 1 inch wide.
- Dip and Coat – Dip each bread stick into the pumpkin French toast mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds. Then, coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
- Preheat the Air Fryer – Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Pumpkin French Toast Sticks – Place the coated pumpkin French toast sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving some space between them. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, flipping the sticks halfway through the cooking time, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Serve Warm – Remove the pumpkin French toast sticks from the air fryer and let them cool slightly. Serve your delicious Air Fryer Pumpkin French Toast Sticks with maple syrup, cream cheese glaze, or your favorite dipping sauce.
