Easy Tigernut Butter Recipe (Nut Free & Paleo)
Description
Easy Tigernut Butter Recipe combines tigernut flour with coconut oil processed together until creamy and smooth. Tigernut flour provides a naturally sweet, nutty flavor without tree nuts, making it suitable for those with nut allergies or on paleo diets. The coconut oil binds the mixture and contributes richness. Processing involves breaking down the flour and oil fully so the texture becomes buttery rather than grainy.
The butter has a thick, creamy consistency with a mild sweetness inherent in tigernuts. It holds its shape well but softens quickly when warmed or spread. The amount of coconut flavor depends on whether refined (neutral-tasting) or unrefined (coconut-flavored) oil is used.
This tigernut butter works as a spread on breads, mix-in for smoothies, or a substitute for other nut butters in recipes. Storage at room temperature keeps it spreadable, while refrigeration firms it up but requires thawing before use.
Due to the coconut oil content, the butter may harden when chilled; stirring before use helps restore creaminess. Adding a pinch of sea salt or cinnamon before processing can enhance flavor customization.
Ingredients
- 1 cup Tigernut Flour
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
Instructions
- First, add tigernut flour and coconut oil to a food processor.
- Process on high for 1 minute. Then, use a rubber spatula or spoon to scrape down the sides of the food processor.
- Then, process for another minute. Continue processing until smooth and creamy.
- Finally, store tigernut butter in a Mason jar or jar with lid.
Notes
- Use refined coconut oil for a neutral flavor or unrefined for a slight coconut taste.
- Continue processing until the mixture is fully smooth and creamy, around two minutes in a powerful food processor.
- Store in a sealed jar at room temperature up to two weeks or in the fridge up to a month; stir before use in either case.
- The butter thickens when refrigerated; allow to soften at room temperature before spreading.
- Add a pinch of sea salt or cinnamon before blending to adjust flavor if desired.
