Nut butters and fruit our some of my favorite toppings. You can serve fresh fruit with pancakes like strawberries, blueberries or raspberries. Fresh strawberries cut up and sugared and allowed to weep can create a lovely fresh strawberry "syrup" that will taste a lot like strawberry shortcake. Blueberries and cherries can be made into compote easily in a few minute on the stove. And fresh applesauce is always a hit at a pancake topping bar.
