Why bake Easter bunnies in the air fryer?
Preparation in the hot air fryer has several advantages:
- No long preheating time
- Only 10 minutes baking time
- Golden brown on the outside, fluffy on the inside
- Perfect for small quantities
- Ideal when the oven is already occupied
The hot air circulates the heat particularly evenly – the quark dough rises wonderfully thanks to the baking powder and remains juicy.
Total preparation time: approx. 25 – 30 minutes
Baking time in the Airfryer: 10 minutes at 170 degrees (bake level)

Preparing the Easter bunnies in the air fryer
1. Prepare dough
First mix the flour, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt and baking powder well in a bowl. This way the baking powder will be distributed evenly and the bunnies will rise nicely later.
Now add the quark, milk, egg and oil and mix everything into a smooth dough. The dough is slightly sticky – this is normal.
Flour the work surface and shape the dough into a ball with lightly floured hands. This is important because otherwise the dough will stick too much.
2. Form bunnies
Divide the dough into 8 – 12 portions. Form a roll (“sausage”) from one part.
Form a small ball for the body and place it in the rolling pin. I dipped the balls of some bunnies in baking cocoa, so they stand out a little from the rest.
Tip: It’s better to shape the bunnies a little smaller. They will rise in the air fryer thanks to the baking powder.
3. Bake in the air fryer
- Cut baking paper to fit the Airfryer accessory basket (important: do not insert it loosely so that it does not blow up).
- Place rabbits at a distance.
- Optionally brush with egg yolk and water mixture for a nice golden color.
Bake on the “Bake” setting at 170 degrees for 10 minutes.
Depending on the model, the baking time may vary slightly (±1-2 minutes).
Result: As good as from the bakery
The Easter bunnies will:
- golden brown on the outside
- soft and fluffy inside
- wonderfully juicy thanks to the quark
In terms of taste, they are in no way inferior to the oven version – on the contrary: thanks to the compact heat in the air fryer, they are baked particularly evenly.
