Chewy Tigernut Spice Cookies

Ali Segersten (author)

This recipe uses an alternative baking flour called Tigernut Flour—it’s grain-free and nut-free, making it the perfect flour to use in gluten-free treats. Tigernut flour is made from small tubers that are high in resistant starch—a type of prebiotic fiber that feeds the beneficial bacteria in our guts. You can order Tigernut flour here on Amazon or through the Tigernut USA website.
