Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls

Easter morning can get a little hectic.

Between meal prep and stuffing eggs for the egg hunt, the last thing anyone wants to do is spend more time in the kitchen making a big fancy breakfast. 

Easter bunny cinnamon rolls to the rescue!

Ready in less than 30 minutes, this recipe is fun to make with little ones and the perfect Easter morning breakfast.

Ingredients for Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls

All you need for this fun holiday treat are two cans of cinnamon rolls.

No fussing with yeast or waiting for the dough to rise. It doesn’t get much easier than that, right?

The Pillsbury brand of cinnamon rolls works great for this recipe, but almost any brand will work.

Just make sure that the dough unrolls. (This is important so you can make the bunny ears!)

I learned the hard way that not all brands are created equal, and some will not work for this recipe.

Good thing my girls love cinnamon rolls! They were all too happy to make quick work of my mistake.

I used my local store’s name-brand to make my bunny cinnamon rolls.

Each can that I purchased came with eight regular-sized cinnamon rolls and combined, the two cans made 10 bunny-shaped rolls.

Here the simple step-by-step instructions to make your own bunny cinnamon rolls.

Instructions for Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400℉. Open two cans of cinnamon rolls and place 10 rolls on a non-stick baking sheet. Set the remaining rolls aside.

Step 2

Now it’s time to give your bunny some ears!

Unroll each of the remaining cinnamon rolls one at a time and cut it into two even pieces.

Then take each piece and fold the sides until they meet in the middle to form the ears. When you are done folding, each piece should look a bit like a heart.

The ears are very easy to shape once you get the hang of them!

Step 3

Once all of the bunny ears are formed, attach one pair of ears to each cinnamon roll and gently pat the dough together to secure the pieces.

Place the baking sheet with the bunnies in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until golden brown.

Step 4

Remove the bunnies from the oven, drizzle with icing, and tada! Breakfast is served.

Can You Make the Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls In Advance?

If you want to plan ahead, you can shape the cinnamon rolls and then cover them with plastic wrap.

Keep them in the fridge overnight and then just pop them in the oven when you are ready to bake them in the morning. (Don’t forget to remove the plastic wrap before baking the rolls!)
