Apple Fritters is one of the most popular of current trending meals in the world. It’s simple, it is quick, it tastes yummy. It is appreciated by millions every day. They are nice and they look wonderful. Apple Fritters is something which I have loved my whole life.
To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few ingredients. You can cook apple fritters using 12 ingredients and 8 steps. Here is how you can achieve it.
The ingredients needed to make Apple Fritters:
- Take Batter:
- Take 1/4 C. Whey Protein
- Make ready 1/4 C. Coconut Flour
- Take 1/4 C. egg whites
- Get 1 tsp. baking powder
- Prepare 1 1/2 TBS Greek plain yogurt (or buttermilk or sour cream)
- Get 1/4 C. apples (peeled and chopped into tiny pieces, then blotted between paper towels)
- Prepare 2 tsp. soft butter**
- Prepare Oil for cooking (your preference)
- Get Coating:
- Get 1/2 C. erythritol
- Get 1/2-3/4 tsp. cinnamon
Steps to make Apple Fritters:
- Heat oil on medium low to low. Heat in a deep pot/sauce pan or fry pan.
- Meanwhile, mix the ingredients together, including the butter**. (The butter is a recent update–I discovered it adds more flavor and moisture.)
- If the batter seems too runny, add coconut flour in 1 teaspoon increments–allow batter to rest for about 5 minutes before adding anymore coconut flour, if needed.
- Test the oil by dropping a tiny amount of batter in the oil–it's ready when the batter sizzles and starts to turn brown.
- Scoop a heaping tablespoon of the batter into your hands then flatten it between the palms of your hands.
- Slowly drop into the hot oil. Fry one at a time for approx. 30 seconds to1 minute per side, or until each side is a golden brown. Keep a close watch on these! They brown quicker than you can blink your eyes! (Note: if the first one gets too dark too fast, turn the heat down a little and allow the oil to reduce in temp. before frying anymore.)
- Remove from the oil with tongs or a slotted spoon, drain on paper towels, then rest in the coating mixture and spoon coating over entire fritter. (Be careful! These will be HOT!)
- Allow to cool on a plate covered with paper towels.
Information on How to Elevate Your Mood with Food
Most of us believe that comfort foods are bad for us and that we must stay away from them. At times, if your comfort food is candy or some other junk food, this is very true. Other times, however, comfort foods can be altogether nutritious and it’s good for you to consume them. A number of foods honestly do elevate your mood when you consume them. When you feel a little down and are needing an emotional boost, test out some of these.
Eggs, you might be astonished to find out, are wonderful at fighting depression. Just be sure that you don’t throw away the yolk. The yolk is the most crucial part of the egg in terms of helping you cheer up. Eggs, the egg yolk in particular, are stuffed full of B vitamins. B vitamins can be fantastic for raising your mood. This is because they increase the function of your brain’s neural transmitters (the parts of the brain that affect how you feel). Consume an egg and feel a lot happier!
Put together a trail mix from seeds and/or nuts. Almonds, cashews, peanuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and so on are all wonderful for elevating your mood. This is possible since these foods are high in magnesium which boosts your production of serotonin. Serotonin is the “feel good” chemical substance that dictates to your brain how you feel all the time. The higher your levels of serotonin, the more pleasant you are going to feel. Nuts, on top of bettering your mood, can be a great source of protein.
If you wish to battle depression, you should eat some cold water fish. Cold water fish including tuna, trout and wild salmon are chock full of DHA and omega-3s. These are two substances that promote the quality and function of the grey matter in your brain. It’s true: chomping on a tuna fish sandwich can basically help you fight depression.
It’s not hard to overcome your bad mood when you are eating grains. Barley, millet, quinoa, etc are excellent at helping you have a happier mood. These foods fill you up better and that can help elevate your moods too. Feeling hungry can be a real downer! The reason these grains are so wonderful for your mood is that they are easy for your body to digest and process. You digest these grains faster than other things which can help increase your blood sugar levels, which, in turn, helps make you feel more pleasant, mood wise.
Your mood can truly be helped by green tea. You just knew it had to be mentioned in this article, right? Green tea is loaded with a specific amino acid called L-theanine. Studies show that this specific amino acid can actually stimulate brain waves. This helps raise your mental sharpness while calming the rest of your body. You knew that green tea helps you become better. Now you are well aware that green tea helps you to elevate your moods too!
Now you realize that junk food isn’t necessarily what you need to eat when you are wanting to help your moods get better. Try several of these instead!
