With Fresh Fruits

• Berries: Top your crepes with strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a burst of freshness and added nutrients.

Drizzled with Nut Butter

• Almond Butter: A drizzle of almond butter adds healthy fats and a rich flavor, making your crepes even more satisfying.
• Peanut Butter: For those who love a classic taste, peanut butter brings a deliciously nutty element to the dish.

Garnished with Yogurt

• Greek Yogurt: Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt on top for extra protein and creaminess, enhancing the overall texture.
• Flavored Yogurt: Choose a flavored yogurt like vanilla or maple to complement the cinnamon roll taste.
