Recipe Variations
I chose to use pastel colored flower sprinkles to decorate. You could use raisins or even chocolate chips to create eyes and a nose for the bunnies.
One year I made these using pastel colored M&M's!
Try using dried cranberries for eyes, and slivered almonds for whiskers.
You could even tint the frosting with pastel colors for a festive Easter look.
🥣Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Open the can of cinnamon rolls, lay each roll on top of a piece of parchment paper or paper towel, and begin unrolling them. Start with the outer edge, and separate it from the center circle.
Step 2: Shape the long piece of cinnamon roll into bunny ears. Then press the ends of the ears into the center circle of the bunny.
⏲Baking Instructions
Step 3: Place the bunny cinnamon rolls on a flat-edged baking tray lined with parchment paper. Bake them according to the instructions on the tube of refrigerator rolls.
Expert Tip
Remove the baking tray from the oven after the first five minutes of baking to "reshape" the bunny ears if you need to.
I baked these cinnamon rolls in a 400°F preheated oven for a total of 14 minutes, checking after the first 5 minutes to ensure the bunnies were holding their shape.
Step 4: Gently warm the frosting in a microwave-safe bowl for a few seconds. You want it to be spreadable.
Step 5: Spread the frosting on top of the cooled cinnamon rolls.
🥣Decorate the Bunnies
Step 6: Then, decorate your bunnies with a few vibrant Easter-colored sprinkles for an extra pop of color!

How long do you put Pillsbury cinnamon rolls in air fryer?
Bake refrigerator cinnamon rolls at 350°F in the air fryer for about 8 to 10 minutes.
Do you have to refrigerate Pillsbury cinnamon rolls after baking?
Store the baked cinnamon rolls in an airtight container. They can be kept on the counter at room temperature for up to two days. If it's very warm in your house, you should store them in the refrigerator.
Top Tip
You may need to reshape the bunnies halfway through baking. Simply remove the baking tray from the oven and very gently reshape the ears or the round part of the bunny face if you need to.
