Welcome to the Keto Chaffle World!
Hello friend!
Im thrilled that you are here in my world of love my newest cookbook to my writings.
Im excited about chaffles a fantastic replacement for waffles on the keto diet. Dieting the low-carb style just got more interesting, and Im all about chaffles these days. Hence, my share with you on all that I have been up to with chaffles these past days.
Think of how much we would have missed from not enjoying these pieces of pastry that are excellent for different meal servings. I particularly enjoy them for desserts.
Im eternally grateful to the person that exposed this formula of goodness. Ever since I came across the dish, Ive been exploring new ways to create recipes that fit different meal types throughout the day. And would I say that I am obsessed yet? Yes, I am! Im pumped about the many delicacies I can make out of them!
This cookbook is an assemblage of my creative work while exploring chaffles, and how well they fit into the keto diet. They are as tasty as can get, and believe me, you won't be able to get enough of them!
I write this book for every once-a-waffle lover that for the sake of reducing carbs, would no longer enjoy waffles. There's good news for you when you blend eggs and cheese to what will become a tastier version of traditional waffles.
I used to be a waffle addict. I recall my lunch breaks at work when my colleagues and I will walk down the street to our favorite, colorful waffle spot to grab a few with different toppings. We had them with ice cream, syrups, sauces, and always bought extras to freeze at home. Those came in handy during the weekends. Those days were hearty, having shared so many exciting stories over freshly made and crispy pieces of waffles. I missed out a lot when I decided to go keto. But not anymore, pal! There's fantastic news for us!
So, without much talking, I introduce you to my collection of eighty-four chaffle recipes that I have compiled to spark up some light in your dietary lifestyle. I share recipes that I have tried, tested, and enjoyed. Options that take you through the day from breakfast to dinner and desserts. Many offerings to last you for the entire year!
Making chaffles is one of the most comfortable things to do, and if you have older kids, they can treat you to some decadent pieces. Hence, I make sure to keep the recipes straightforward to make while giving you the flexibility to tweak the ingredients to fit your desires. However, ingredient swapping should be exact replacements. For example, you may swap cheeses by their identical kinds to give you the results that I desire for you to achieve.
Therefore, to get things kicking in already, how about you take a moment to scan through the recipes and start gathering your ingredients. I promise you that it will be a fun ride as you enjoy these crispy pieces. Do check out my tips and tricks for making the crunchiest chaffles in the following pages. They will prep you ahead for your first make.
Until I meet you at the recipe section, take a more in-depth read into how well keto and chaffles blend. I hope to be supporting your keto lifestyle for many days to come. Have fun turning out loads and loads of crunchy, delicious chaffles while making sure to share them with others.
Cheers to many days of warm, crispy chaffles and their decadent accompaniments!
Chapter 1 Brief Dive into The Ketogenic Diet
Grasping the Keto Diet
I enjoy learning about peoples experiences and how they have achieved success from balancing fats with proteins and carbs. I learn from beginner dieters and experienced ones alike.
If you are new to the diet, are you struggling with balancing the macro proportions to help you reach success? Ill break it down for you.
You see, the Keto diet is one of the most embraced diets in recent times and one of the easiest to practice. By sticking to a standard ratio of eighty percent (80%) or more healthy fats, between twenty and thirty-five percent (20% -35%) of proteins and not more than ten percent (10%) of carbs in every meal, the body stands a better chance of reaching ketosis.
I like to keep this ratio at heart, and while I might not be precisely accurate on the percentage proportions in every meal, I make sure to be approximately right.
This practice brings me to two of my surefire ways to hit success on the keto diet.
1) I ensure to be comfortable and have fun with my diet above all things. By this practice, I aid myself to enjoy the diet instead of looking at it as a chore. This way is one takeaway that I believe you should add to your bookcase.
2) I make sure to eat healthy always. Now, up to date, I see many unhealthy practices on the internet that gear people away from the keto diet either knowingly or unknowingly. I term these practices "dirty keto." The keto diet isn't about consuming any fats but healthy ones that are sourced from natural ingredients. And in this case, since we will be deriving many fats from chaffles, it pays right to use healthy ingredients. For success, I ensure to use organic, grass-fed, and non-GMO ingredients so that I am extracting necessary nutrients in their most natural forms.
By playing safe with these two points, I believe that you are headed for massive success soon.
Understanding the Love Affair Between Fats, Proteins and Carbohydrates.
I have heard many keto dieters condemn carbohydrates as if they were some dreadful ingredients. Not so! Equally like fats, proteins, and other micronutrients, carbs play an essential role in our bodies. Hence, understanding how they work with other nutrients is vital instead of condemnation.
Carbohydrates are an energy-fueling unit that the brain relies on for functioning. On a regular high-carb diet, carb reserves called glycogen to serve as the primary source of energy to the brain and other organs in the body. However, these glycogen walls break down further into sucrose (sugars), which in excess may lead to high blood sugar; hence, varying related ailments caused. On the other hand, science proves that carbohydrates tend to be an inconsistent energy-fueling unit to the brain. This effect prevents the brain from functioning steadily and, therefore, the need for more carb intake to keep up with a smooth work.
