These Bunny Cinnamon Rolls Make Easter Fun
These bunnies are a simple way to make the holiday feel special. They’re fast to prepare, delightfully cute, and always a hit at Easter breakfast. Using pre-made cinnamon rolls keeps this recipe approachable while still delivering a homemade look.
Ingredients
Everything you need:
- 1 can Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls (with icing included)
- Pastel M&M’s (mini or regular for eyes and nose)
Just two ingredients create a charming and tasty Easter treat.
How to Make Cinnamon Roll Bunnies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (325°F if using a nonstick sheet). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Unroll each cinnamon roll gently, leaving about 1–2 inches of the spiral center to form the face.
- Shape the loose dough end into a loop at the top of the face to create ears; press the ends lightly into the face to secure.
- Separate the loop in the center with your fingers so it forms two ears; pinch the tops slightly for a rounded ear shape.
- Place shaped bunnies on the baking sheet about 1–2 inches apart and bake 13–16 minutes, until golden and puffed.
- Cool slightly, then drizzle with the included icing and decorate with M&M’s for eyes and a nose.
Decorate Your Cinnamon Roll Bunnies
After frosting, press pastel M&M’s into the icing for eyes and a nose. Mini M&M’s work well for proportion, but regular size candies are fine too. You can also use mini chocolate chips or candy eyes for variety. Let kids decorate — it’s a fun, hands-on activity.
Pro tip: Add an extra dab of icing where each candy will go to help them stick.
