Description

Delightfully delicious cupcakes made with tigernut flour, perfect for those with dietary restrictions.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups tigernut flour (145g)
  • 1/2 cup tapioca starch (63g)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin pan with 12 cupcake liners and set aside.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine tigernut flour, tapioca starch, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Stir well.
  3. Whisk wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, maple syrup, avocado oil, coconut milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet mixture into the dry mixture and mix until just combined; a few lumps are okay.
  5. Fill the muffin pan about halfway with batter to make 12 cupcakes.
  6. Bake for 15-17 minutes until a toothpick comes out clean.
  7. Cool for 5 minutes in the pan, then transfer to a cooling rack.
  8. Frost with your favorite frosting once cooled.

Notes

For best results, use high-quality tigernut flour and keep eggs at room temperature. Consider adding chocolate chips or coconut for extra flavor.
