Day Into Night at home / 00

Tigernuts are tiny tubers with a sweet, earthy, butterscotch-like flavor. They are nutritional powerhouses, and contain magnesium, calcium, and vitamins C and E. They are a good source of plant based protein as well as being prebiotic and gluten-free. Tigernut flour can sometimes be a little gritty since it is made by grinding the dried tubers. I would liken its texture to shredded coconut, which I've added here as a compliment.

​

3 cups tigernut flour 

1 teaspoon baking powder
