Sweet tooth? Look no further than this super-easy Honey Butter Toast recipe, cooked in the air fryer. Crispy, golden toast topped with velvety vanilla ice cream, drizzled with Biscoff. Yep, it’s as good as it sounds!
Can I make honey butter toast in the air fryer?
Yes, the air fryer is perfect for honey butter toast. It gives the bread a beautifully golden, crisp edge while keeping the centre soft — all in just a few minutes.
What bread is best for air fryer honey butter toast?
Thick-cut bread like brioche, sourdough, or Texas toast works best. It soaks up the honey butter without going soggy and toasts evenly in the air fryer.
How long does honey butter toast take in the air fryer?
It usually takes around 4–6 minutes at 180°C, depending on your air fryer model and the thickness of your bread. Keep an eye on it to avoid over-browning.
How do I make honey butter for toast?
Simply mix softened butter with runny honey (and a pinch of salt if using unsalted butter). You can also add a dash of cinnamon or vanilla for extra flavour.
Do I need to preheat the air fryer?
Preheating isn’t essential for this recipe, but if your air fryer heats quickly, a 1–2 minute preheat can help the toast crisp more evenly.
Can I make this recipe dairy-free or vegan?
Yes — use vegan butter and maple syrup or agave nectar instead of honey for a delicious plant-based version.
Is air fryer honey butter toast suitable for breakfast?
Absolutely! It makes a sweet, satisfying breakfast or brunch option and pairs perfectly with fruit, yoghurt, or a coffee.
Can I add toppings to my honey butter toast?
Yes, try adding banana slices, berries, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar after cooking for extra texture and flavour.
How do I stop the toast from burning in the air fryer?
Keep the temperature at 180°C and check halfway through. Using thick-cut bread helps prevent burning while still getting that crispy finish.
Can I prepare honey butter toast in advance?
It’s best enjoyed fresh, but you can pre-mix the honey butter and keep it in the fridge, ready to spread and toast when needed.

Method
Step 1
Begin by preheating your air fryer to 180º (350ºF). Take your fresh brioche slices and delicately trim off the crusts.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the butter and light brown sugar using a spatula. Once mixed add the honey and a pinch of salt and mix until smooth.
Step 3
Generously spread the mixture onto every surface of the brioche slices. Once done, carefully place the prepared slices onto a sheet of baking paper, then transfer them into the preheated air fryer, allowing them to cook for approximately 10 minutes.
Step 4
Once the initial cooking phase is complete, flip the brioche slices to ensure even crisping, then return them to the air fryer for an additional 7 minutes.
Step 5
After the cooking process, remove the toast from the air fryer and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes (this will allow the toast to harden and get nice and crispy)
Step 6
Serve alongside a scoop of creamy vanilla ice cream and a drizzle of melted Biscoff spread, and dig in! For more air fryer recipes, you can pick up a copy of my OG air fryer book The Healthy Air Fryer now!
