Tigernut flour or chufa

Tiger nuts, although the name suggests otherwise, aren’t nuts at all. They are small tubers on the roots of the chufa plant. So chufa is gluten, grain, legume and nut free. Tigernuts taste slightly sweet and are high in protein. The structure is light and full of fiber.

Medical Medium

Chufa is not listed as a Medical Medium healing food. Tubers in general are not the best filler foods, although they aren’t considered no foods either.

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. If you don’t want to use tapioca you can substitute for arrowroot.

Coconut flower sugar

Coconut flower sugar is a natural, unprocessed form of sugar. It is dark in color and that is why these muffins are a bit darker than muffins with white sugar.
