In need of a nut-free tigernut butter that can be whipped up in less than a minute with no prior prep or special equipment? Paleo, Whole30, and AIP friendly
Despite the super confusing name, tigernuts are not actually nuts.
They're small tubers, kind of like sweet potatoes, and therefore suitable for those of you on AIP.
You may find tigernuts called chufa or ground nuts in some countries.
They also have quite a few nutritional qualities, like that they're a great prebiotic fiber and help boost immune system function.
All you need is some tigernut flour and an oil – preferably something liquid like avocado oil.
You CAN use coconut oil, however, it needs to be in liquid form (melted) and if you don't plan on using the tigernut butter right away it may harden.
30-Second Tigernut Butter
Ingredients
- 1 to 2 tbsp Tigernut Flour
- 1 to 3 tbsp Avocado Oil
- pinch Sea Salt
Instructions
- Put the tigernut flour in a small bowl.
- Drizzle in some of the avocado oil and mix well with a fork or spoon, making sure to break up any clumps of tigernut flour. Add more oil as needed to get to a consistency you desire, letting the mixture sit for a few seconds in between additions to let the flour absorb the oil.
- Add a pinch of sea salt and any other variations you might like and use!
