Easter is a fun time in my house because I love to get creative with the kids in the kitchen. Coloring Easter eggs and making special recipes is all part of getting the family together around the table. Cinnabunnies are something I came up with because my daughter is such a lover of cinnamon rolls. I enjoy unrolling those tubes and figuring out what cute little shapes I can make with them.

I start with a tube of Pillsbury Cinnabon® cinnamon rolls.

I usually buy the 8-count roll and make 4 bunnies. I use one roll for the body and then unroll another for the ears. Once you shape the ears, give them a good pinch to connect them to the head. I add raisins for the eyes and nose and two sliced almonds for the teeth. It’s very important to press the raisins and nuts into the dough so that they stay attached when the dough bakes and rises.

Cinnabunnies Recipe

Once they are baked, let them cool. Then ice the ears and give them a sprinkle of sugar.

These silly little bunnies make everyone smile.

If the unrolling of the roll to make the ears doesn't work for you, you can just cut another roll in half and use each half to make an ear. You just need to pinch the dough together at the top of the head to make sure they stay together.

I tried to make these for breakfast this Easter but ran into some trouble. I bought the cinnamon rolls that were pictured, but the rolls weren't "rolled up" They seemed to be pressed out. I had to smush the extra rolls to make the ears and I didn't come out very well. Did Pillsbury change the way the cinnamon rolls are made??

Could you use one cinn. roll to make a bunny? I need to make about 20 bunnies.
