Alkaline Apple Fritter Waffle Recipe

This alkaline apple fritter recipes makes one large waffle in a 4-square waffle iron or two smaller Belgian waffles in a traditional round waffle iron

This delicious alkaline-friendly waffle recipe is made for two… OR for your breakfast and lunch, because that’s how we roll over here in the LivnLife family.

Normally, I would include the calories and macros, as evidenced in my Eat Like a Goddess and Scoop Like a Goddess cookbooks. But lately, I’ve been having second thoughts around the idea of tracking calories or encouraging calorie counting as the default way women relate to food.

Don’t get me wrong. Tracking calories can be a helpful tool if you have no idea how much energy is in the food you’re eating. It can also be useful if you have very specific physical goals, like building muscle, cutting for an event, or reaching a certain body composition goal. But for the general group of women out there who are simply trying to look better, feel better, heal their relationship with food, and nourish their bodies…it’s not always necessary.

If you don’t realize that one tablespoon of oil, a small handful of nuts, 3 1/2 cups of broccoli, or eight whole cucumbers can all have a similar calorie amount, then we might need to put you into calorie school for a little bit so you can get your footing. But that’s another blog post.

My one singular issue with counting calories or having strict calorie goals is that it can take away from intuitive eating. It can pull you out of your body and into a math equation. Instead of asking, “Am I nourished? Am I satisfied? Do I feel good?” you start asking, “How many calories do I have left?”

And that’s where I think we lose something sacred.

Intuitive eating is the practice of eating with awareness. Eating slowly. Paying attention. Letting your body tell you when it has had enough. Not eating until you are stuffed, uncomfortable, or disconnected, but eating until you feel satisfied and nourished.

In Okinawa, Japan, there is a beautiful practice called hara hachi bu, which means eating until you are about 80% full. It is not about restriction. It is about mindfulness. It is about slowing down enough to hear the body’s quiet signals before they have to scream.

So while you eat today’s waffle, try this, take a bite, chew slowly, breathe, and pause before the next bite. Let yourself actually taste the cinnamon, the apple, the nuttiness of the amaranth, the warmth of the maple, and the crisp edges of the waffle. Halfway through your plate, check in with your body. Are you still hungry? Are you satisfied? Are you eating because your body wants more, or because your mind is rushing to finish?

That is the practice.

Today’s waffle recipe is meant to be enjoyed guilt-free, but with mindfulness.

PS:

Alkaline-style eating is a way of building meals around mineral-rich, plant-forward, whole-food ingredients that help the body feel nourished, supported, and less weighed down by overly processed foods. While the body is always working to regulate itself, many women find that eating this way helps them feel lighter, more energized, more balanced, and more connected to their digestion, hormones, and overall well-being.

So if you don’t recognize ingredients like spelt flour or amaranth flour, don’t worry. These are beautiful ancient-style ingredients, and you can easily find them online or in many health food stores.

Spelt flour is made from spelt, an ancient variety of wheat. It does contain gluten, so it is not gluten-free, but many people find it gentler and easier to digest than modern wheat flour. It has a slightly nutty, naturally sweet flavor and gives baked goods a soft, hearty texture without feeling overly heavy.

Amaranth flour is made from amaranth, an ancient seed often used like a grain. It is naturally gluten-free and has an earthy, nutty flavor. It adds depth, minerals, and a beautiful old-world nourishment to recipes. On its own, amaranth can be a little dense, but when paired with spelt flour, it creates a waffle that is crisp on the outside, tender on the inside, and deeply satisfying.

Together, this duo creates a waffle treat that works for you and not against you.

Enjoy your new ingredients. We’ll have more recipes using these two delicious flours coming in the future, plus plenty of breakfast breads and muffins inside my Eat Like a Goddess cookbook.
