It’s almost spring!! Well, sort of. Kinda. Not really. But an early sign of spring here in the Midwest is when the berries go on sale at the supermarket.
I just got some of this awesome tigernut flour from Organic Gemini. Tigernuts are not actually a nut; they are a starchy tuber. Tigernut flour adds texture and a sweet, nutty flavor to baked goods. I love using the flour because I can make stuff nut-free!
Organic Gemini also has raw tigernuts, and horchata. I made my own granola for an upcoming cookbook with the raw tigernuts!
This recipe is somewhat in honor of Valentine’s Day. I always have a hard time getting my act together to do holiday-themed posts, but I figure that dark chocolate plus berries equals love! Or something 🙂
These muffins are perfect for a treat or a filling snack, and they are nut-free!

I love so many of your recipes, but I found this one to be eggy and not very flavorful otherwise. And I love tigernut flour and use it often. I love your crusty AIP bread with tigernut and cassava, and I now use that combo in a lot of creations. I wonder if this could benefit from the cassava/tigernut flour combo and maybe maple syrup or coconut sugar instead of the honey. Maybe some cinnamon or vanilla?
Your ingredients say baking powder but instructions say baking soda. Which one is it? also can you substitute cassava four for tigernut?
It’s baking powder; sorry about that! You know, I’m not sure if you could sub cassava, but if you try it let me know 🙂 🙂
These look amazing! Thank you so much for linking up at Tasty Tuesday! Your recipe has been pinned to the Tasty Tuesday Pinterest board! Please join us again this week!
I’ve been super excited that strawberries are starting to come into season. They’re one of my favorite fruits. I had heard of Tigernut flour before, but didn’t really know what it was so thanks for enlightening me!
I’ve never heard of tigernut flour! I’ll need to look into it, because these muffins looks so delicious.
Have you ever made these with frozen berries?
No but I don’t see why you can’t! Make sure to mix them in the batter still frozen.
These look delicious. Pinned.
I can’t wait till berries are in season here. This looks delish will definitely give it a try!
I keep meaning to get my hands on some tigernut flour! I’ve soaked and blitzed them to make tigernut milk (delish!) but I think baking with them is the next step – and these look amazing!
Thanks Cat! Next I’ll have to try tigernut milk!
