Description

Festive cinnamon rolls shaped like bunnies, perfect for Easter morning that balance cuteness and ease of preparation.


Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can Cinnamon rolls, refrigerated (Homemade dough can also be used.)
  • 2 tbsp Extra cinnamon sugar (Optional, for decoration.)
  • 2 tbsp Butter, melted (For brushing.)
  • 1 packet Icing (Packet icing works, or use homemade.)
  • 1/4 cup Mini chocolate chips or raisins (For eyes.)
  • 1/4 cup Sprinkles or sanding sugar (For decoration.)
  • 1 drop Food coloring (Optional, for pastel icing.)


Instructions

Preparation

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) as per package instructions for the cinnamon rolls.
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  3. Open the can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls and separate them. Set aside the icing.
  4. If making homemade dough, roll it into a rectangle, spread with melted butter and cinnamon sugar, then roll it up and slice into rounds.

Shaping the Bunnies

  1. Take one cinnamon roll round and gently pull the outer end of the spiral outward to form a short strip (about 3 to 4 inches long).
  2. Slice the strip down the middle lengthwise, leaving the base attached to form two little tails.
  3. Twist or curl the two pieces slightly away from each other to create the bunny ears.
  4. Pinch the tips of the ears if you want them pointy, or leave them rounded.
  5. Let the dough sit for 3 minutes if it snaps back, allowing it to relax.
  6. Place the shaped bunnies on the baking pan with enough space between them.

Baking

  1. Bake the bunnies until golden and puffed, approximately 15-20 minutes.
  2. Cool for about 5 minutes before icing.

Decorating

  1. Swirl icing over each bunny, adding mini chocolate chips for eyes and sprinkles for a festive finish.
  2. Use food coloring to tint the icing if desired.

Notes

Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 1 day or in the fridge for up to 4 days. Freeze baked rolls without icing for up to 2 months.
