Vegan Tigernut Flour Waffles (Paleo, Nut Free)

Mar 29, 2020 · Leave a Comment

These Vegan Tigernut Flour Waffles are great for a simple, nut free and egg free Paleo breakfast.  They are made with tigernut flour, sweetened with a bit of coconut sugar and free of all common allergens.

When I went on an elimination diet earlier this year (due to my baby's eczema) I had to get creative with allergy friendly recipes.  Tigernut flour was one of my go-to Paleo flours.  It works well in egg free baking and I love that it has a naturally sweet flavor.

What are Tigernuts?

For those of you that don't know, tigernuts are not actually nuts, but small root vegetables.  These little root vegetables are nutrient dense and a great source of prebiotic fiber. 

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.

Some of my favorite ways to use tigernut flour is in:

  • muffins
  • pancakes
  • cupcakes
  • cookies

And of course waffles!

These tigernut flour waffles are delightfully sweet, fluffy and a kid favorite.  My recipe is:

  • Paleo
  • Vegan
  • nut free
  • dairy free
  • egg free
  • refined sugar free

This healthy waffle recipe can be kept plain, or include mix-ins such as: chocolate chips, blueberries, shredded coconut, cinnamon, etc.  It's such a versatile recipe!

Ingredients in Vegan Tigernut Flour Waffles

For these waffles, you'll need the following ingredients:

  • tigernut flour
  • ground flax (or ground chia seed)
  • coconut sugar (or any granulated sugar/sweetener)
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • water (or nut/seed milk)
  • avocado oil (or olive oil)
  • vanilla extract

How to Make Vegan Tigernut Waffles

These simple, grain free waffles are made in one bowl and cooked on a mini waffle iron.  This recipe makes 4-5 miniature waffles.

First, make the flax eggs.  To do this, combine 2 tablespoons ground flax with 6 tablespoons water.  (I grind whole flax seed in a coffee grinder.)  Stir, then let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to thicken.

Next, mix in the remaining ingredients.  Mix until the batter is a thick, smooth, uniform texture.

Preheat your waffle iron and add 2 heaping tablespoons of batter.  Close the waffle iron and cook the waffles until done.  They will take longer to cook than a waffle that uses eggs.  When the waffles are done they should be slightly crisp on the outside and golden brown in color.

Paleo and Vegan Waffle Toppings

I topped these waffles with fresh blueberries, sunflower seed butter, hemp seeds and bee pollen.  Some other healthy, Paleo and Vegan topping options include:

  • melted coconut butter
  • nut or seed butters
  • fruit: fresh, freeze dried, defrosted frozen fruit
  • cacao nibs or dark chocolate chips
  • coconut cream
  • dairy free cream cheese
  • mashed avocado

Enjoy!
