Tigernut Flour Pancakes with Maple Syrup
Breakfast just got a glow-up, folks! These tigernut flour pancakes are the golden, fluffy, gluten-free heroes your mornings have been begging for—drizzled with maple syrup so good, you’ll want to write it a love letter.
Ingredients
- 1 cup tigernut flour, finely sifted
- 2 tbsp coconut sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder (aluminum-free)
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 pasture-raised eggs, lightly beaten
- 3/4 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp clarified butter, melted (plus extra for greasing)
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- Maple syrup, for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the tigernut flour, coconut sugar, baking powder, and sea salt until no lumps remain. Tip: Sifting the flour twice ensures an ultra-smooth batter.
- In a separate bowl, combine the beaten eggs, almond milk, melted clarified butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully emulsified.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, stirring gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. Tip: Overmixing = tough pancakes. A few lumps are fine!
- Heat a nonstick skillet or griddle over medium-low heat (325°F) and lightly grease with clarified butter.
- Pour 1/4 cup batter per pancake onto the skillet. Cook for 2–3 minutes, or until bubbles form on the surface and edges look set. Tip: Wait for those bubbles—flipping too early leads to pancake heartbreak.
- Flip and cook for another 1–2 minutes, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter, greasing the skillet as needed.
Golden, nutty, and just sweet enough, these pancakes are like a cozy hug with crunch. Serve them stacked high with extra maple syrup and a sprinkle of toasted pecans for a breakfast that’s basically a standing ovation.

- In a large bowl, whisk together tigernut flour, almond flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until no lumps remain. Tip: Sift the flours if they’re clumpy for a smoother batter.
- In another bowl, combine mashed bananas, eggs, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until fully incorporated.
- Pour wet ingredients into dry ingredients and fold gently with a spatula until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the bread tender. Tip: Fold in walnuts now if using, reserving a handful for topping.
- Transfer batter to the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with the spatula. Sprinkle reserved walnuts evenly over the surface.

- 1 ½ cups finely ground tigernut flour

Instructions

- In a separate bowl, whisk together tigernut flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt.

- ½ tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup dark chocolate chunks (70% cacao)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with coconut oil, then line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the tigernut flour, coconut sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt until no lumps remain. Tip: Sifting the flour ensures a lighter texture.
- Add the beaten eggs, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined—overmixing can make the bread dense.
- Fold in the grated zucchini and dark chocolate chunks until evenly distributed. Tip: Squeezing the zucchini dry prevents a soggy loaf.
- Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Bake for 50–55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Tip: Rotate the pan halfway for even browning.
- Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
Slice into this beauty to reveal a speckled green interior studded with melty chocolate pockets. Serve it toasted with a smear of almond butter or as is—because sometimes, rebellion tastes this good.
Tigernut Flour Peanut Butter Cookies
Sneaky little tigernuts are here to shake up your cookie game—these peanut butter cookies are gluten-free, nutty, and dangerously snackable, with a flour so hipster it probably has its own podcast. Who knew something called ‘tigernut’ could taste this good?
Ingredients
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter (no-stir, natural)
– ¾ cup coconut sugar
– 1 large pasture-raised egg, lightly beaten
– 1 tsp vanilla extract
– ½ cup tigernut flour, sifted
– ½ tsp baking soda
– ¼ tsp fine sea salt
– ½ cup dark chocolate chunks (70% cacao)
– Flaky sea salt, for finishing
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream together peanut butter and coconut sugar on medium speed for 2 minutes until fluffy.
3. Add the lightly beaten egg and vanilla extract, mixing just until combined (30 seconds). Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together sifted tigernut flour, baking soda, and fine sea salt. Tip: Sifting prevents clumps for a smoother dough.
5. Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet mixture on low speed until fully incorporated (45 seconds).
6. Fold in dark chocolate chunks with a spatula until evenly distributed. Tip: Reserve a few chunks to press onto dough balls for bakery-worthy tops.
7. Scoop dough into 1.5-tbsp portions, roll into balls, and place 2″ apart on the prepared sheet. Flatten slightly with a fork in a crisscross pattern.
8. Bake for 10–12 minutes until edges are golden but centers are still soft. Tip: Underbake slightly for chewy cookies—they firm up as they cool.
9. Immediately sprinkle with flaky sea salt. Cool on the sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
Dense yet chewy, these cookies are a nutty, chocolate-studded dream with a hint of caramel from the coconut sugar. Serve them warm with a dunk in cold almond milk, or crumble over vanilla bean gelato for a next-level sundae.

Instructions

3. Gently fold in the chia seeds and shredded coconut until evenly distributed.
4. Scoop 1-tbsp portions of dough and roll into smooth balls between your palms. **Tip:** Lightly dampen your hands to prevent sticking.

Tigernut Flour Almond Butter Bars
Fancy a snack that’s equal parts chewy, nutty, and downright addictive? These tigernut flour almond butter bars are here to rescue your snack game from the abyss of boring—no fancy kitchen skills required, just a love for all things deliciously wholesome.
Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy almond butter (unsweetened, stirred well)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup (grade A, dark amber)
- 1/3 cup tigernut flour (finely sifted)
- 1/4 cup coconut oil (unrefined, melted)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract (Madagascar bourbon preferred)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt (flaky Maldon for texture)
- 1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (70% cacao, mini-sized)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 325°F (163°C) and line an 8×8-inch baking pan with parchment paper, leaving a 2-inch overhang on two sides for easy removal.
- In a medium saucepan over low heat, warm the almond butter and maple syrup, stirring constantly with a silicone spatula until fully combined and slightly runny, about 2 minutes. Tip: Avoid overheating to prevent separation.
- Remove from heat and whisk in the melted coconut oil, vanilla, and sea salt until emulsified.
- Fold in the tigernut flour with deliberate strokes until no dry pockets remain—the mixture will thicken slightly. Tip: Sifting the flour first prevents clumps.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared pan, spreading evenly with an offset spatula. Sprinkle chocolate chips evenly over the top, pressing them lightly into the surface.
- Bake for 18–20 minutes, until the edges are golden and the center appears set but still soft. Tip: For fudgier bars, err on the shorter bake time.
- Cool completely in the pan on a wire rack (about 1 hour), then refrigerate for 30 minutes to firm up before slicing into 12 bars.
Perfectly dense yet melt-in-your-mouth tender, these bars boast a caramel-like depth from the almond butter, with pops of dark chocolate for contrast. Try crumbling one over vanilla bean ice cream for a next-level sundae hack.
