Cinnamon Roll Bunny
These bunny shaped cinnamon rolls are almost as easy as my cinnamon roll breakfast casserole recipe. Both recipes start out with a can of Pillsbury Cinnamon Rolls.
You can use any brand you prefer, just make sure the rolls can be easily unrolled so you can form the ears for the bunny rabbits. I chose to use pastel colored M&Ms for the eyes and nose, but you could use raisins or even chocolate chips.

📋Ingredients
This is an overview of the ingredients and instructions. Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact quantities, detailed instructions and special notes.
- 1 can of Pillsbury refrigerator cinnamon rolls - 8 count size
- Easter sprinkles
- M&M candy pieces
🥣Instructions
Step 1: How to form the Bunny Shape Ears
- Open the can of cinnamon rolls and lay each roll on top of a piece of parchment paper.
- Begin unrolling the cinnamon rolls starting with the outer edge. Go ahead and separate the outer edge from the center circle using a small paring knife.
- Now take that long piece of cinnamon roll and shape it into bunny ears. Press the end of the ears into the center circle of the bunny.
📌Quick Tip: Remove the baking tray from the oven after the first five minutes of baking to "reshape" the bunney ears if you need to.
Step 2: Baking Instructions
- Place the bunny cinnamon rolls on a flat edge baking tray that's lined with parchment paper.
- Bake the rolls according to the instructions on the tube of refrigerator rolls.
- I baked these cinnamon rolls in a 400°F preheated oven for 14 minutes total. After the first 5 minutes, I removed the tray and made sure the bunnies were still holding their shape.
- Wouldn't it be fun to make these in the air fryer?
Step 3: Decorate the Bunnies
- In a microwave safe bowl, heat up the frosting that comes with the tube of cinnamon rolls for just a few seconds.
- Drizzle the frosting on top of the cinnamon rolls.
- Add the candy pieces for eyes and a nose on each bunny.
- Sprinkle a few fun Easter colored sprinkles on top as well.
