Storage and Reheating
Store leftover Protein French Toast Sticks in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
Freeze in an airtight freezer-safe zip-top bag for up to 3 months.
Reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
Toaster, toaster oven, or skillet reheating are also supported options.
Microwave reheating is not the preferred method because it can make the sticks softer.
Notes
- Cut the brioche into sticks about 1 inch thick so they hold their shape.
- Whisk the protein batter well before dipping.

- Cook the sticks in a single layer and do not let them touch.
- Work in batches if needed.
- Vanilla protein powder affects the final flavor, so use one you like.
- Gluten-free bread can be used as a supported gluten-free swap.
- To make the recipe dairy-free, use dairy-free protein powder.
- Keep syrup separate if packing these into containers.
