Have you gotten on the tiger nut train yet? Learn all about why we love this nut replacement as a flour, a beverage, or just a snack here.
The benefits of tiger nut flour in baking is that’s it’s nut-free, gluten-free and super high in fiber. Plus, it’s good for your gut health (which is what we do at the 131 Method). Its powdery consistency makes it great for baking. Naturally and lightly sweet, we chose it for two delicious chocolate chip cookie variations. We also love it for tiger nut milk and horchata!
We know many of you can’t eat nuts or eggs, so the below version is for you! This recipe yields a firmer, crispy edged cookie. If you prefer a soft batch cookie, try the one with the egg. Enjoy!
Oh- and here is the brand of flour we used. But check Amazon; they have several.
