How to Make Cinnamon Roll Crepes

Making Cinnamon Roll Crepes is easier than you might think. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you along the way:

1. Prepare the Crepe Batter: In a blender, combine the flour, milk, eggs, melted butter, and salt. Blend until smooth. Let the batter rest for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. Make the Crepes: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Lightly grease the skillet with a bit of butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter into the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom evenly. Cook until the edges start to lift, about 1-2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for another 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining batter.
3. Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar Filling: In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Brush each crepe with melted butter and sprinkle with the cinnamon sugar mixture. Roll up the crepes tightly.
4. Make the Cream Cheese Glaze: In a bowl, beat the cream cheese until smooth. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined. Drizzle the glaze over the rolled crepes.
5. Serve: Slice the crepes into rounds and serve warm. Enjoy!

Tips and Tricks

Here are a few tips and tricks to make your Cinnamon Roll Crepes even better:

• Rest the Batter: Letting the crepe batter rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes helps to eliminate bubbles and results in a smoother texture.
• Thin Batter: The consistency of the batter should be thin, similar to heavy cream. If it’s too thick, add a bit more milk.
• Non-Stick Skillet: Using a non-stick skillet ensures that the crepes won’t stick and will be easy to flip.
• Even Cooking: Make sure the skillet is evenly heated to cook the crepes uniformly. Adjust the heat as needed.

How to Serve

Cinnamon Roll Crepes are a delightful treat on their own, but they’re even better with a few additions. Here are some serving suggestions:

• Fresh Fruit: Serve with a side of fresh berries, sliced bananas, or a fruit salad.
• Whipped Cream: Top with a dollop of whipped cream for extra creaminess.
• Syrup: Drizzle with maple syrup or honey for added sweetness.
• Beverages: Pair with a cup of coffee, tea, or a glass of milk for a complete breakfast experience.

Make Ahead and Storage

These Cinnamon Roll Crepes are perfect for making ahead and storing. Here’s how:

• Make Ahead: You can make the crepe batter and cinnamon sugar filling up to a day in advance. Store them separately in the refrigerator.
• Reheat: To reheat, place the crepes in a microwave-safe dish and heat for 20-30 seconds, or warm them in a low-temperature oven for a few minutes.
• Freeze: To freeze, let the crepes cool completely, then wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating.
