This is it people, breakfast does not get better than this.
I love a good crepe. I really really love a good crepe. Filled with fluffy creamy filling and topped with something rich and tasty. Chocolate filling, mousse filling, vanilla filling, orange-cream filling… top it with chocolate syrup, fresh berries, or caramel sauce…. h.e.a.v.e.n!
You know what else I love? Cinnamon rolls. Thank you Cinnabon, you forever changed my life. But today I’m one-upping Cinnabon (no offense, I still love you!).

Seriously! Cinnamon Roll . . . . CREPES. I would go out on a limb here and honestly tell you that I am convinced that these Cinnamon Roll Crepes are better than a traditional cinnamon roll. Try it for yourself, you mind will be absolutely blowwwwwn! And these are easier and less-time consuming that cinnamon rolls. BONUS. I’m in love. Absolutely head over heels in love.

Aren’t they amazing?! A few months ago my mother made regular crepes and I found myself craving the cinnamon drizzle so badly – it just takes crepes to a whole new level! 🙂

This was absolutely delicious and pretty easy so I will definately do it again. I just wish I could eat it all myself.
I don’t Have any icing sugar -could regular sugar work?
I fear it will come out too gritty and not provide the same consistency!
