These adorable cinnamon rolls are shaped like shamrocks (or lucky 4-leaf clovers) and are perfect for a magical St. Patrick’s Day breakfast!
Lucky 4-Leaf Clover Cinnamon Rolls
Bake up a little bit of magic for St. Patrick’s Day with these cute 4-leaf clover cinnamon rolls!
We used canned cinnamon roll dough so this recipe is super easy to prepare…just 2 ingredients! You can also decorate with festive sprinkles and other toppings and get the kids involved in the fun.
Our family always keeps a couple cans of refrigerated cinnamon roll dough on hand because our kids really love them and they make a quick and delicious breakfast treat. It’s easy to cut and shape the rolls into shamrocks or clovers and you can use the included icing to top them off!
This is one of those recipes that sure to delight both the kids and grown-ups!

Prep Tips
- Dough – For this recipe you’ll want to use canned cinnamon roll dough – individual rolls, NOT the cinnamon roll dough sheets. We used an 8-count package and ended up with 5 total cinnamon rolls. Feel free to use any brand that you like!
- Yield – The exact number of cinnamon rolls you’ll get depends upon how many rolls came in your package of dough. It also depends on whether you make shamrock (3 leaves) or 4-leaf clovers.
- Shape – We made 4-leaf clovers, but you can also make 3 loops with your cinnamon rolls to make 3-leaf clovers, or shamrocks. Or both!
- Decorating – We used the icing that comes inside the can of cinnamon roll dough and stirred in a couple drops of green food coloring to make green frosting. You could also add green sprinkles or St. Patrick’s Day sprinkles to jazz them up even more!
