I had a whole ‘nother post lined up for August’s WOYPBC and now it will have to wait until September…because of a conversation Joanne and I had on the morning of my birthday (July 27 – mark your calendars 😉). We FaceTime most mornings (I know – lucky me, right? 😄) and this was my birthday morning and the conversation turned to food. Well, OK it usually does. Specifically what was I going to eat on my special day. I mentally went through my cupboards and my fridge and decided I had all the ingredients to make myself French toast for breakfast on this most auspicious day – fresh BC raspberries, sourdough bread, eggs, vanilla, cinnamon and milk. And maple syrup, of course!
So after our call I got to “work”. And while I was assembling everything I had another thought: I wonder if I could make French toast in the air fryer? A quick Google search confirmed that I most certainly can. I didn’t follow a specific recipe but just noted the approximate times and temperatures, and off I went!
Please let my co-host Donna or myself know what’s on your plate at your house, in the Comments section of either of our WOYPBC posts (or both, if you are so inclined!). Please check out Donna’s August post where she details her typical meals!
Trying this InLinkz thing yet again – thanks to Donna for setting this up! Please use this if you’d rather:
Rock on,

How lovely! The Link Party link isn’t working…..
Ah…it opens in 12 hours I see!
We’re in a different time/date zone, I think that is the problem for you. Thanks 💕
The problem was me. I had it set to open at 12 pm today instead of 12 am. That’s twice in a row i’ve done that. One would think that I would have learned after the first time. 😀 All fixed now!
Oops! ☺️
Hi Deb – happy belated birthday – while French Toast with raspberries looks delicious (way too delicious – I’d have to have seconds) … love your photos … happy year ahead – cheers Hilary
Thank you, Hilary 💕 It was a delicious and indulgent breakfast! 😁
I have an air fryer feature on the massive fancy toaster oven my husband bought me. I never use it. Not sure why… that looks wonderful.
They are putting the air fryer option on everything now. The range I ordered for my new place has an air fryer setting for the oven, which I may never use since I usually only cook for one and my little countertop air fryer is enough for me. Thanks, Rivergirl 💕
Oh yum! That looks good enough to eat!! 😉
It was delish! Thanks for giving me this idea! Otherwise I would have settled for a plain old breakfast of an egg and an English muffin. 😁 Thanks, Joanne 💕
That looks amazing! Happy belated birthday!
Thank you, Kate 💕
What a breakfast! It’s really dessert, Deb.
Leslie
Truth! If there was ever a day to have dessert for breakfast, a birthday is the one 😁. Thanks, Leslie 💕
Happy Birthday!
Thank you! 💕
That breakfast looks absolutely incredible. Love the Happy Birthday napkin! 😀 Hope all is going well with your moving. Shout if you need any help!
Thank you, Donna! 💕 I may shout at you guys next week for some help. Talk more on Friday night or over the weekend 😁
Sounds awesome!
That looks like such a yummy birthday breakfast… or, really, for any special ocean… like Wednesdays.
Wednesdays need to be celebrated 😉 – a perfect day for French toast! Thanks, Janis 💕
And, of course, I meant “occasion.”
I knew what you meant 😁
Just missing the whipped cream to take it over the top for your birthday breakfast. Fresh raspberries– must go pick mine again!! Belated birthday wishes and best of luck with the move. Bernie
Believe me, if I had had any whipping cream in the house it would have been added! 😁 Thank you very much, Bernie 💕
I can’t have whipping cream in the house unless it has a plan! Otherwise it miraculously disappears to be found on my hips and in my arteries.
🤣
Hi Deb, what a lovely birthday breakfast treat. I didn’t realise how much we can use our air fryer until I’ve started reading blog posts like yours. We are in the midst of packing boxes at the moment as we prepare to move house next week so will join in what’s on your plate? next month from my new home. x
Happy moving! Hope everything goes well. Thanks, Sue 💕
Delish birthday breakfast! I love my air fryer and will definitely try this because I also love French toast! Keep on celebrating your birthday all year ❤️🎉😋
That’s a great idea! Thank you, Hot Goddess 💕
Happy birthday to you indeed! This does look good & I’m going to try it in the air fryer next time… but with bacon. In fact, I can almost taste it…
It would be delicious with bacon…hmmm, you are giving me ideas 😁. Thanks, Jo 💕
Only one??
I showed some unusual restraint! Yes, only made 1 piece of birthday French toast, anticipating more birthday treats as the day went on 😁 (which did happen!). Thanks, Liesbet 💕
Happy belated birthday, Deb! This looks delicious and beautiful with the fresh raspberries. Thank you for hosting WOYP with Donna. I added my vacation eating link. Have a great weekend!
Thank you, Natalie 💕 I will go check out your blog!
Wow, that looks really wonderful! And Happy Birthday. It’s going to be a great year for you.
Thank you, Jean 💕 I hope so!
Celebrate every day! I use food for celebration & reward so this body-by-bacon can’t afford indulgent breakfasts everyday. Your breakfast looks delicious. Full on breakfasts are usually saved for company. The usual breakfast is toast with cheese/tomato or a boiled egg with salsa or a delicious chutney:
1 c sauerkraut; 1 jar chili sauce (~2 c), 1 can whole cranberry sauce; 1/4 c brown sugar. Simmer on med heat x 15 min. Makes ~ 1 qt. Can be stored in fridge. Good on any protein, including cheese.
I think a crisp would be a good breakfast food with the oatmeal & fruit! I often make a crisp with combined rhubarb, raspberries & saskatoons. You choose – ice cream or whipped cream?
Wow! I have never thought of putting sauerkraut in a chutney. I love “the kraut” and I love that you shared a whole new way to eat it. Thanks, Mona 💕 I do try to celebrate every day (but not always with food lest I outgrow my wardrobe 😁). Fruit crisps are a favourite fall and winter dessert for me. Ice cream or just plain milk if eating it hot. Whipped cream if cold!
Happy Birthday and thanks for the idea on what to do with all those raspberries in our garden. Yum!!!
Happy to help 😁. Thank you, Tracey 💕
Happy belated birthday! I love French Toast for that occasional special breakfast. Yours looks delicious. I assume the air fryer cooking worked well.
It worked like a charm! Thank you, Janine 💕

The perfect birthday breakfast (I’m soooo late to the party, it feels almost rude to send wishes, but I do). My air fryer has been bumped off the “things we will make room for in our kitchen” list by a slow cooker – because of the UK energy crisis, so Himself tells me in serious tones while unwrapping his box with undisguised glee. I know I’ll appreciate his common sense when electricity bills go stratospheric, but I’m peeved at having to wait.
It’s never rude to send wishes, thanks so much Debs! Slow cookers are great energy saving appliances and I think air fryers could be too because they are smaller and faster than using a regular oven. However, I’m sure Himself is correct to think a slow cooker beats an air fryer when it comes to minimal energy usage. Thank you 💕
