Tiger nut flour pancakes are nutrient-packed with a healthy whole-grain nutty flavor and a smooth texture. The batter also works for waffles, muffins, or fun little silicone cake molds.

Tiger nuts have begun to make a name as a new superfood. Tiger nuts aren’t actually nuts at all! They are tubers, growths at the end of a root that stores energy for the plant. Small but mighty, they contain digestive-boosting fiber, as well as magnesium and potassium (1). Magnesium is critical in many functions of the body, including helping control blood glucose, synthesizing DNA, and regulating blood pressure (2). Potassium helps nerves function properly and muscles contract (3).

Top with your favorite fruit, a dollop of Greek yogurt, and a few walnuts for a super delicious anytime meal.

Don’t have a waffle maker? We love this Cuisinart Classic Waffle Maker*.
