Notes
- Fresh Berries and Whipped Cream: Embrace the simplicity of fresh strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries nestled within your crepes. Top them off with a dollop of airy whipped cream for a burst of fruity freshness and a touch of indulgence.
- Banana and Nut Butter: Sliced bananas paired with your favorite nut butter create a creamy and satisfying filling. The natural sweetness of the bananas blends perfectly with the nutty undertones of the buckwheat crepes.
- Nutella and Sliced Almonds: For an irresistible treat, spread Nutella generously over your crepes and sprinkle on some sliced almonds. The combination of chocolate hazelnut spread and crunchy almonds adds layers of flavor and texture.
- Honey and Greek Yogurt: Drizzle a bit of honey over your crepes and spoon in some creamy Greek yogurt. This combo offers a delightful balance of sweetness and tanginess, creating a light and refreshing option.
- Cinnamon-Infused Apples: Sautee thinly sliced apples with a touch of cinnamon until they're tender and fragrant. Spoon this warm mixture into your crepes, and enjoy the comforting flavors of fall in every bite.
- Mixed Berry Compote: Cook a medley of berries with a bit of sugar to create a luscious berry compote. The compote's natural sweetness and vibrant colors will make your crepes a visual and flavorful delight.
- Chocolate and Sliced Strawberries: Melted chocolate paired with juicy sliced strawberries creates a classic combination that's hard to resist. The contrast between rich chocolate and fresh fruit is a match made in crepe heaven.
- Lemon Curd and Powdered Sugar: Spread zesty lemon curd on your crepes and dust them with a light sprinkle of powdered sugar. Lemon curd is my personal favorite out of the sweet fillings.
- Maple Syrup: If you are wanting to keep it simple, maybe just brush with a little melted butter, pure maple syrup, and chopped nuts.
