Looking for a quick and easy Easter breakfast idea that your kids will hop out of bed for? These bunny cinnamon rolls are cute, festive, and so simple to make—perfect for Easter morning, a springtime brunch, or really any day you want to add a little bunny magic to your kitchen.

How to make bunny cinnamon rolls
Here's how easy these are to make, even on busy mornings!
What You’ll Need:
- 1 can of refrigerated cinnamon rolls (with included icing)
- Chocolate chips or mini chocolate chips
- Optional: candy eyeballs
How to Make Bunny Cinnamon Rolls:
- Preheat your oven according to the package instructions.
- Unroll each cinnamon roll about ⅓ of the way, leaving the main circle intact. This will form the bunny's face.
- Shape the ears by cutting the unrolled portion in half and bending each strip into a loop to make two bunny ears. Press gently so they hold their shape.
- Bake as directed on the can (usually 350°F for about 13–17 minutes, but check your package!).
- Frost your bunnies once they come out of the oven—while still warm but not piping hot.
- Decorate the faces:
- Use two chocolate chips for the eyes (mini chips work too).
- Add a mini chocolate chip or sprinkle for the nose.
- Or try candy eyeballs… just know they sometimes look a little creepy (but the kids still love them, so go with your gut!).
Tips:
- If the ears separate a little while baking, just squish them back into place when they come out of the oven—no one will notice once they’re frosted!
- Want to add even more flair? Tint the icing pink or purple for a springy vibe.
These bunny cinnamon rolls are a quick way to make a regular morning feel extra special—no fancy ingredients or skills required.
Whether you're hosting Easter brunch or just want to surprise your little bunnies, this sweet treat is sure to bring smiles.
