Tiger Nut Flour Blueberry Muffins
I just bought some Tiger Nut flour from Flour Confections on Brock Road. I’ve already made pancakes with it ( yummy) and now I’m trying muffins. These are grain free and dairy free, also sugar free. They turned out amazing! Tiger nuts are a great pre biotic and add a fantastic flavour to baked goods. They are a tuber, originally from Nigeria. Tiger Nuts are used in an amazing drink called Horchata from Spain. So delicious…
Ingredients:
4 small eggs ( 3 large eggs)
1/4 cup apple sauce
1/4 cup avocado oil or melted and cooled Coconut oil
1/3 cup of Monk Fruit with Erythriol – You can buy this at Flour Confections as well.
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup Hazelnut flour ( optional, you can use 1/2 cup almond flour instead – I found it really added a great taste to them)
1 Cup Tiger Nut Flour
1 cup blueberries
OPTIONAL – Chocolate chips or nibs
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Spray or coat your muffin tin ( i use silicone only) with avocado oil
In a stand mixer mix eggs, apple sauce, oil and monk fruit for about 1 minute
Add the flours, baking soda and salt
Stir in Blueberries and optional Chocolate chips
distribute evenly in the muffin tin ( you might get 10 muffins or 12 but smaller)
Bake for 22 to 25 minutes until the top springs back when touched.
cool for 5 minutes in the muffin tin and flip out on wire rack to cool completely.
