This tigernut flour pancakes recipe is gluten-free, dairy-free, nut-free, low fodmap, and refined sugar-free. They are a fluffy and tasty breakfast alternative.

Tigernut Flour Pancakes That Are Allergy Friendly

Our large family of 10 suffers from a wide variety of food-related intolerances including autoimmune disorders like celiac disease. Finding any recipe that meets everyone’s food requirements is quite a feat.

These gluten free pancakes meet all of the needs of our family. You can read more about our health journey here. If you have a family member who suffers from food allergies or was told by their health practitioner to try a low fodmap diet, these low fodmap pancakes do not disappoint.

The secret ingredient in these gluten free pancakes is tigernut flour. When our family discovered tigernut flour, we were finally able to make more treats that the whole family could enjoy together.

What is tigernut flour?

Tigernut flour is not actually made from nuts, it is a starchy powder made from the tubers that grow on the yellow nutsedge plant. It is an ancient food that has recently become quite popular.

Tigernut flour is a gluten free, grain free, nut free, paleo, low carb, keto, or vegan alternative to wheat flour. It is high in fiber and antioxidants and rich in vitamins C, and E, and minerals including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, zinc, and folic acid.

If you are looking for an alternative flour that acts very similar to almond flour in gluten free recipes, tigernut flour is a great choice. Tigernut flour works well in cookies, and it is my flour of choice in pie crust.

To Make Tigernut Pancakes You Will Need…

Some of the ingredients are not naturally gluten free, so if you need to avoid gluten, be sure to check the labels on all of the ingredients, especially the flour, starch, rolled oats, and baking powder. These are often labeled that they may contain wheat.

If you use a plant-based egg alternative, this recipe can be made vegan. I have not tried this. If you do, please leave a comment below and let me know what you used and how it turned out.

Tigernut Pancakes Step-By-Step

In under 30 minutes, you can have a dozen fluffy 3 1/2 inch pancakes to share with your family for breakfast or brunch.

Step 1

In a medium-sized bowl mix together tigernut flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, and salt. Press out any lumps and mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 2

In a separate medium-sized bowl whisk together milk, eggs, avocado oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.

Step 3

Pour wet ingredients into the dry and whisk together until the batter is mixed and thoroughly combined. If the batter is too thick, add a tablespoon of oat milk.

Step 4

Pour the batter in small amounts on a hot and greased griddle or frying pan. When the underside is lightly brown, flip the pancake and continue baking until the underside and inside are baked.

Step 5

Serve warm with your favorite toppings. You can keep the pancakes warm in the oven heated to 170F.

Substitutes and Alternatives

If you are not avoiding or sensitive to dairy, substitute the oat milk with the same amount of regular milk. You can also easily substitute the oat milk with vanilla almond milk if you are not avoiding nuts.

If you don’t have tigernut flour or aren’t in need of a nut-free cookie recipe, almond flour is a great alternative. Substitute 1 1/2 cups of almond flour in place of the tigernut flour. The batter will be runnier and you may need to reduce the amount of milk by a tablespoon or more.

Add blueberries or allergy friendly chocolate chips to the gluten free pancakes recipe to make it a little fancier. We really like the semi-sweet mini chocolate chips from Enjoy Life.

Baking Gluten Free Dairy Free Cinnamon Raisin Bread Step-By-Step

In under an hour, you can have a loaf of yummy cinnamon raisin bread ready for your next snack or tomorrow morning’s breakfast.

If you are not a huge fan of raisins, you can make it plain. We’ve used a simplified version of this recipe for everything from grilled cheese, to garlic bread.

Our family has been baking this particular bread recipe with success since 2009. It is our go-to bread recipe and we hope you give it a try.

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350F or 175C and line a bread pan with parchment paper or skip this step if you are using a silicon bread form.

Step 2

In a large bowl, beat the eggs until light and frothy. Add apple cider vinegar and honey and mix until combined.

Step 3

Add almond flour, tapioca starch, ground flax, cinnamon, baking soda, and sea salt to the egg mixture. Stir until thoroughly combined. Gently fold in raisins.

Step 4

Pour the batter into the parchment-lined bread pan and bake at 350F (175C) for 35-40 minutes or until golden brown.

Let cool before slicing. Enjoy toasted with a pat of butter, honey, or some of your favorite jam.

Notes

Store this bread in an air-tight container on the counter for up to 2 days, or slice and freeze to eat later. It freezes well. Slice the bread before freezing. If stored properly, this bread will keep for up to three months in the freezer.

This quick and easy gluten free apple cake is the perfect companion to coffee or tea. It is paleo, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar-free.

Paleo Gluten Free Apple Cake

Over the years our family has been gluten-free, grain-free, and paleo. Some of our children struggle with legumes, nightshades, and even some of the popular gluten-free grains like corn, and rice.

It is important to me that we have gluten-free options for those children. If you are interested in hearing more about our story, you can check it out here.

This tender and moist paleo apple cake recipe uses simple ingredients and is quick to put together for a quick afternoon snack with coffee or tea or a last-minute dessert idea.

While living in Germany, it was customary to have coffee and cake on Sunday afternoons with family or friends. We loved the simplicity of this tradition. Very few shops were open if any with the exception of pubs, ice cream shops, and restaurants.

Sundays were spent with family or friends outdoors. We spent many a Sunday afternoon pushing a stroller in the park, in the woods, or on the designated pathways along the Rhein river with my in-laws. Afterward, we would head back home to have some cake and coffee with the family.

This almond flour apple cake reminds me of those sweet old days when our oldest children were little. It isn’t too sweet and is the perfect companion for a nice cup of coffee or tea.

Getting Started You Will Need…

• almond flour
• gluten-free baking powder
• baking soda
• cinnamon
• salt
• eggs
• honey
• oil
• vanilla extract
• walnuts
• raisins
• apple

Equipment

How to Make Gluten-Free Apple Cake

This gluten-free apple cake is baked low and slow. So set your oven to 325F or 160C and preheat. Prepare an 8×8 inch square glass baking dish either by greasing it with a bit of oil or lining it with parchment paper.

Grab two large bowls to start making the batter. Into one bowl, add almond flour, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, and whisk together until combined.

In the second bowl, whisk eggs until they are light and frothy. Add honey, avocado oil, and vanilla extract and whisk until everything is well combined.

Pour the egg mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients and mix well making sure there are no lumps. Set aside.

Finely dice one large or two smaller apples. Choose your favorite cooking apple. I have used different varieties with success. Pardon the pun, but it is literally a matter of taste.

Chop up a handful of walnuts that measure half a cup when chopped. Then add the apples, walnuts, and raisins to the batter. Mix until the apples, nuts, and raisins are evenly distributed.

Pour the paleo apple cake batter into the baking dish and smooth the top. Bake the cake for 40 minutes or until the cake is golden brown and an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Let cool for at least 30 minutes before slicing.

Some Variations

Originally, I planned this paleo apple coffee cake to be baked in an 8-inch baking dish to be served with coffee. However, I was feeling a little fancy one day and decided to bake it in one of my 8-inch round cake pans. I lined the bottom with parchment paper so that I could flip the cake onto a serving plate and dusted it with icing sugar.

This version isn’t technically paleo or refined sugar-free. If you are like me and don’t mind veering from the Paleo diet from time to time, this variation might be for you.

Instead of walnuts, you can use the same amount of slivered almonds, chopped hazelnuts, pecans, or nuts of your choice.

For a nice festive treat during the holidays, replace the raisins with cranberries. If you enjoyed this recipe, be sure to check out our other quick and easy gluten-free cakes, sweet bread, and dessert recipes.
