This post contains a collection of easy and delicious tigernut flour recipes. All of these recipes are paleo friendly, nut free, grain free and gluten free; perfect for any of your healthy baking needs.
I've been baking with tigernut flour for over a decade and I'm constantly drawn to it because of it's naturally sweet, nutty taste. But I love the fact that it's gluten free and nut free, making it the perfect allergy friendly paleo baking flour.
Paleo recipes tend to use SO many nuts. And while I love nuts, I think there is a point when you start consuming too many and then they become an issue for the gut.
Tigernut flour is the perfect way to keep a grain free diet, while not over-consuming nuts. Because, despite it's name, tigernut flour is actually nut free. It is made from ground tigernuts, which are small root vegetables. They have a naturally sweet, nutty flavor, making them perfect for baking!
Here is a collection of some of my top tigernut flour recipes. You'll find everything from tigernut muffins to cookies, tigernut cakes and breakfast items.

FAQ
Tigernuts are small root vegetables; nutrient dense and a great source of prebiotic fiber. They are naturally sweet and nutty in flavor.
Tigernut flour is simply made from finely ground tigernuts. It is naturally sweet – perfect for baking! Although, it can be used in savory dishes as well.
Tigernut flour is mostly made up of carbohydrates. Depending on one’s carb tolerance, it can be a part of a ketogenic diet.
¼ cup of tigernut flour contains 14 grams of carbohydrate, and 5 grams of that is sugar; meaning it is naturally sweet. This is great for baking because you don’t need to add as much sugar to sweeten tigernut desserts.
This serving size also contains about 7 grams of fat and 1 gram of protein.
