These adorable Bunny Cinnamon Rolls are so easy and make such a special treat on Easter morning!
Hippity Hoppity Yum!
Another holiday means another adorably easy cinnamon roll idea to celebrate with! These Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls are just too cute! Shape homemade or store-bought cinnamon roll dough into a bunny face with ears before baking them. Then decorate them with some festive sprinkles and pastel candies for an extra special Easter brunch treat.
Getting creative with canned cinnamon rolls is my jam! In the springtime, that means making St. Patrick’s Day cinnamon rolls shaped like four leaf clovers, these adorable Butterfly Cinnamon Rolls and of course, these Easter Bunny shaped ones. My kiddos LOVED helping me make these Bunny Cinnamon Rolls and they can hardly wait to bake them again on Easter morning as a fun activity before or after we hunt for eggs. They’d also be such a festive addition to any Easter brunch spread.

How to Make Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls
- Preheat the oven according to the package directions on the canned cinnamon rolls or recipe you use. Separate the cinnamon rolls so you can start forming each one into the bunny shape.
- Use your hands to pull the outer end out and up into one bunny ear and then another bunny ear.
- Press down between the two bunny ears and in on the outsides of the bunny ears to secure them to the round part of the cinnamon roll.
- Transfer them to a baking sheet and reinforce the shape, if necessary, so each one looks like a bunny.
- Place them in the oven and bake according to the directions on the can or for the recipe.
- Halfway through the baking time, remove the bunny cinnamon rolls from the oven and reinforce the shape with the handle of a spoon and/or carefully with your hands as they’ll be warm.
- Place the bunny cinnamon rolls back in the oven to finish baking.
- Once baked, remove them from the oven.
- Drizzle with the icing while still warm.
- Immediately sprinkle with festive sprinkles
- Garnish with two round candies for the eyes and one round candy for the nose.
- Serve and enjoy!
So simple yet so festive and adorable! I hope you get a chance to make and enjoy these with your family this Easter season. An extra fun way to celebrate the holiday!
Storage
Easter Bunny Cinnamon Rolls are best enjoyed the day they’re made, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerated for up to 4 days. To reheat, microwave individual rolls for 10–15 seconds until soft and gooey (a few extra seconds if chilled). Keep in mind the sprinkles may melt slightly and the M&Ms can soften when warmed. For the prettiest presentation, add the sprinkles and M&Ms just before serving or press a few fresh ones on after reheating.

The dough was so easy to make. I was a little bit worried because my dough was a little dry after adding the last cup of flour, but it was fine once I rolled it out. They look cute and taste incredible! I’ll definitely make them again!
