Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 can refrigerated cinnamon roll dough (or homemade dough)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- ¼ cup (50g) brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Glaze:
- ½ cup (60g) powdered sugar
- 1–2 tablespoons milk
Optional Decorations:
- Candy eyes

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prepare for baking.
- Prepare Dough: If using plain dough, spread melted butter evenly over the dough, then sprinkle brown sugar and ground cinnamon uniformly. Roll the dough tightly to prepare for shaping.
- Shape Bunnies: Take one rolled piece to form the bunny face and use small pieces of dough to create the ears. Arrange all into bunny shapes on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring enough space for expansion.
- Bake: Bake the shaped rolls for 12–15 minutes or until golden brown, ensuring they remain soft and fluffy.
- Make Glaze: Mix powdered sugar with 1 to 2 tablespoons of milk until smooth and well combined to create a sweet glaze.
- Decorate: Drizzle the glaze over the warm cinnamon rolls and add optional candy eyes or sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Serve: Enjoy the bunny cinnamon rolls warm or at room temperature for maximum taste and texture.
Notes
- Keep shapes simple to ensure even baking and prevent dough from becoming misshapen.
- Do not overcrowd the baking sheet as the dough expands while baking.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the rolls soft and fluffy.
- This recipe is kid-friendly and allows children to decorate their own bunny rolls.
- Store any leftover rolls in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
