• 2 eggs
• ½ cup almond milk
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1 tbsp maple syrup (plus extra to serve)

1. Prepare the custard: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, vanilla essence, and maple syrup until well combined.
2. Slice the muffins: Cut each English muffin into thick strips or “sticks.”
3. Soak: Dip each piece into the egg mixture, ensuring all sides are well coated. Allow excess mixture to drip off.
4. Air fry: Arrange the coated sticks in a single layer in the air fryer basket.Cook at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes, or until golden and cooked through, turning halfway if needed.
5. Make cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix the sugar and cinnamon.
6. Coat: While still warm, toss or sprinkle the French toast sticks with the cinnamon sugar.
7. Serve: Plate with fresh raspberries and drizzle with extra maple syrup.

Optional Tips
