These Easter Bunny Donuts are a fun and easy way to make something festive without spending hours in the kitchen. You can use store-bought donuts and ready-made icing to put these together in just five minutes. If you’re in the mood to bake from scratch, feel free to use homemade donuts and icing – totally up to you.
These donuts are great for Easter brunch, classroom treats, or just as a fun snack. They look adorable on an Easter table next to chocolate eggs, cookies, and pastel candies.
How to Make Easter Bunny Donuts
We can probably agree – this is more craft than cooking, which makes it extra fun. You’ll decorate your donuts with icing and sprinkles, pop a chocolate egg in the center, and use pipe cleaners to make bunny ears. It’s simple enough that kids can help too.
Continue below for the full recipe with ingredients and step-by-step instructions.
Customization Options
Use any donut flavor you like – glazed, chocolate, or even cake donuts. You can switch the icing colors to match your table or go all white for a minimal look. For eyes, you could also use mini candy eyes or chocolate chips instead of icing.
Easter Bunny Donuts
These Easter Bunny Donuts are made from plain donuts and turned into adorable bunny faces with icing, candy, and a few quick steps.
Preparation time is just 5 minutes when using store-bought donuts and icing. There is no cook time, unless making the donuts from scratch.
Ingredients
- 6 donuts (store-bought or homemade)
- ½ cup royal icing (any colors you like)
- 6 mini pink heart sprinkles (or any small sprinkle for the nose)
- 6 small chocolate Easter eggs
- 6 pipe cleaners (cut in half to make pairs of ears)
Instructions
- Cut each pipe cleaner in half. Bend each piece into a bunny ear shape.
- Use a straw to gently poke two small holes at the top of each donut. Insert a pair of ears into the holes.
- Spread (pink) icing on each donut.
- Decorate the face: Place a mini heart sprinkle in the center for the nose. Use dark icing to draw eyes and whiskers around the nose.
- Place a small chocolate Easter egg in the center hole of each donut.
Notes
Use a straw to poke small holes for the pipe cleaner ears - it makes them easier to insert.
Keep wet wipes nearby if decorating with kids - it can get sticky fast.
If you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
