What is Tigernut Flour?

Tigernut flour is made from finely ground tigernuts; which are nutrient dense, small root vegetables. They contain a decent amount of prebiotic fiber, are naturally sweet and nutty in flavor. Meaning, perfect for baking!

Tigernut flour can be used in both sweet and savory dishes. It is a great Paleo baking staple, especially when you are trying to limit your nut intake.

This baking flour is also Vegan, allergy friendly, AIP and can fit into a keto diet.

How to Make Tigernut Flour Pumpkin Bars

This tigernut flour pumpkin recipe is super easy to make. It's a one bowl recipe (my favorite) that's baked in the oven and ready to eat in less than an hour.

Here are the step by step instructions:

First, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients (except chocolate chips). This includes the: tigernut flour, coconut sugar, ground flax, baking powder, cinnamon, pumpkin spice and salt.

Next, add in the wet ingredients: canned pumpkin, water, tahini and vanilla extract. Mix until batter is well combined. Then, fold the chocolate chips into the batter. Note, the mixture is thick!

Scoop the batter into a parchment lined 8" x 8" glass baking pan. Use a spatula to smooth the batter, pushing it to the sides of the pan and flattening the surface. You may add additional chocolate chips if you wish.

Then, place the bars in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes. After baking, let the bars cool in the pan to room temperature.

These gluten free pumpkin bars are best stored in the fridge up to one week.
