Fun holiday breakfast treat (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base Ingredients
01 -
1 can (5 count) Jumbo or Grands! store-bought cinnamon rolls with icing (or homemade cinnamon rolls)
→ Decoration
02 -
Easter colored sprinkles
03 -
Easter colored M&M's (for eyes and nose)
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven according to the package directions on the canned cinnamon rolls (usually around 350°F) or according to your homemade recipe.
02 -
Separate the cinnamon rolls and place them on a work surface. For each roll, gently pull the outer end up and out to form one bunny ear, then repeat on the opposite side for the second ear. Press down between the ears and on the outsides to secure the shape.
03 -
Transfer your shaped bunny cinnamon rolls to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving space between them as they will expand during baking.
04 -
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and begin baking according to package directions.
05 -
Halfway through the baking time, carefully remove the baking sheet from the oven. Use the handle of a wooden spoon to gently reinforce the bunny ear shapes as they may have started to puff up and lose definition.
06 -
Return the cinnamon rolls to the oven and continue baking until golden brown and fully cooked according to package directions.
07 -
While the rolls are still warm, drizzle with the icing that came with the cinnamon rolls. Immediately add sprinkles while the icing is still soft so they'll stick. Place two M&M's for eyes and one for a nose on each bunny.
08 -
Serve the bunny cinnamon rolls while still warm for the best taste and texture.
# Notes:
01 -
You can use any type of canned cinnamon rolls, but the jumbo or Grands! size work best for shaping into bunnies.
02 -
If using homemade cinnamon roll dough, shape it into bunnies before the final rise.
03 -
Work quickly when adding sprinkles as the icing will begin to set.
