Chocolate chip cookie bars are my childhood in a cookie. My mother used to make these deliciously amazing non-paleo blond brownies. They were so chewy and sweet and awesome. She would make them for every party and picnic.
Now that we’re paleo, I sometimes crave her amazing cookie bars. What can I do? Get in the kitchen!
I’m slightly obsessed with Organic Gemini tigernut flour. I love it not only because it’s super healthy (full or resistant starch), but because the fiber in it acts as a binder in recipes, resulting baked goods with a really nice texture.
These soft and chewy tigernut flour bars take just a few minutes to whip up and only require one bowl! They remind me of my childhood while being full of nutrient-dense ingredients. Yum!

Very similar to a brownie recipe I make, except I see that your recipe doesn’t use any vanilla. Do you ever add any to these?
Heather Resler says
I have never tried it but I’m sure it would be delicious!
JO says
Yum! Thanks for this recipe. My first Tigernut flour recipe and the first I saw without some other flour or starch added to it. Still looking for a pancake recipe with Tigernut as the only flour/starch. Hoping this flour sits well with me.
Stephanie says
Stumbled onto this recipe having just gotten some tiger nut flour and wanting to try it out. OMG, recipe already saved to my desserts tab! Thank you.

I have a lot of blanched almond flour and would like to use it. Any good recipes?
Heather Resler says
I do a lot of nut-free recipes, but I do have a crusty bread recipe and a couple of cookie recipes that use almond flour. Also check out elanaspantry.com; she has a whole cookbook for almond flour! 🙂

I am allergic to tiger nuts. Ugh, I found out the hard way
think this would work with cassava or almond?
Heather Resler says
I do have a cassava flour chocolate chip cookie recipe that you might try; it’s really good: http://cookituppaleo.com/cassava-flour-chocolate-chip-cookies/
Tessa says
These are awesome! Just got ,y first bag of tigernut flour and remembered you had recipes! I adore the whole nuts soaked to munch on…so was excited to try it as a flour! Thank you!
Holly says
These are so good! I subbed coconut oil for the butter, but they taste super buttery! Amazing!

What happened to your pin button? I miss not being able to pin your recipes. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
Heather Resler says
Hey there, I’ve been trying to keep the website lightweight by minimizing addons like that; helps with load time. But you’re right; we need to pin stuff! I’ll add it back 🙂
tac says
Thank you for the pin button. The recipe is now on my board and I’m going to order some tigernut flour and try these!
