Easy to make muffins from tigernut flour (chufa), tapioca, banana and coconut flower sugar. This muffin is AIP Paleo proof: no grains, nuts, seeds, dairy or eggs. It’s also vegan. And, because it’s completely fatfree, also a healthy treat for Medical Medium followers.

Do you like tigernut flour? Than take a look at these crispy Dutch kletskoppen with tigernut flour. Or these basic cookies with tigernut flour. Both are AIP Paleo friendly. But a little less suited for Medical medium because they contain fat.

Tigernut flour or chufa

Tiger nuts, although the name suggests otherwise, aren’t nuts at all. They are small balls on the roots of the chufa plant. So chufa is a tuber. It tastes slightly sweet, is high in protein. The structure is light and full of fiber.

Tapioca

Tapioca flour is made from the cassave root. It’s not the same as cassave flour. That’s the whole, ground root. Tapioca is just the starch.

Coconut blossom sugar

Coconut blossom sugar is a natural, unprocessed form of sugar. It has a low GI and does not promote inflammation. It is dark in color and that is why these muffins are a bit darker than muffins with white sugar.

Ingredients

½ cup bananas mashed, 1 medium sized
½ cup tigernut flour (ground chufa) loosely filled (50 grams)
⅓ cups coconut flower sugar (40 grams)
¼ cups tapioca flour (25 grams)
1 tbsp water and extra ½ when needed
1 tsp cream of tartar or regular baking powder

1 pinch Celtic sea salt

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 390F or 200C.
Mix the tigernutflour, vanilla and salt.
Mash the banana and mix with the dry ingredients together.
Add 1 tbsp of water. The batter needs to be thick, almost like dough. But you have to be able to mix everything with a fork. If it remains to dry add another ½ tbsp.
