There really is a method to making cinnamon toast and my Air Fryer Perfect Cinnamon Toast recipe will show you the best way.

Air Fryer Perfect Cinnamon Toast

Air Fryer Perfect Cinnamon Toast

There really is a trick to making perfect Cinnamon Toast. Who knew? I read an article by Ree Drummond a few years back, about making perfect Cinnamon Toast in the oven.

As a lover of cinnamon toast, I knew using either the air fryer and air fryer oven would allow me to make cinnamon toast quicker and without heating up my kitchen.

I adore toast and my Air Fryer Perfectly Toasted Bagels and Toast recipe has been a huge hit. Cinnamon Toast in the air fryer is just as wonderful.

Seriously, who knew? There really IS a right way to make cinnamon toast and my Air Fryer Perfect Cinnamon Toast recipe will show you how.

Making the Cinnamon Toast in the air fryer only takes 5 minutes, as opposed to using the oven, which takes 10 minutes.

If you don’t yet have an air fryer, you can even use your Instant Pot, Ninja Foodi or Pressure Cooker coupled with your Mealthy CrispLid too.

 

Allow Butter to Come to Room Temperature

Room temperature butter makes it easier to mix and whip.

Can Other Flavors Be Added to Butter?

  • A touch of freshly ground pepper gives the toast an elegant flavor. Don’t be afraid to try the pepper, just a small grind of your pepper mill is all that is needed.
  • Nutmeg is nice too, but go very, very easy.
  • For a really fantastic and unusual variety of air fryer cinnamon toast, follow this recipe method, but use my Cardamom Spiced Vanilla Sugar {Indian Coffee Sugar} mixed with the softened butter instead. OMG, what an awesome cinnamon toast it makes. That will blow you away!

Can the Compound Butter be Made in Advance?

You are going to love this recipe so much and I suggest making up a double or triple batch, so that you have your flavored butter ready to go. We store ours in a I love this so much I make a double batch and store it in a small Lock N Lock and then take out what we will need and let it get to room temperature.

Can Ghee be used Instead of Butter.

While I love homemade Ghee I thought I would try it in this recipe, but it doesn’t work.

The sugar does not caramelize as well since there is a lack of water content.

Can Air Fryer Perfect Cinnamon Toast be made in Advance?

  • Yep, it sure can.
  • After preparing the slices of bread, they can be frozen.
  • When you are ready to make the Air Fryer Perfect Cinnamon Toast, just pull out from the freezer as many slices as you want.
  • No need to defrost!

If you want to take your cinnamon toast to another level, try making my Hokkaido Milk Sandwich Loaf recipe. You will never buy a loaf of bread again.,

 

Air Fryer or Air Fryer Ovens Work Great

Air Fryer or Air Fryer Ovens Work Great

Whether you own an air fryer or an air fryer oven, the method is the same. With an air fryer oven you can make more slices of cinnamon toast and you have a couple of racks to use.

It will depend on the size of air fryer oven you own. I can put six slices of bread on each oven rack in my air fryer oven.
