Tigernut Collagen Cookies

favicon

Tigernut is neither a tiger nor a nut, it's actually a tubular that grows underground like a parsnip and when dried out can be ground into a fine powder. When you combine with the benefits of collagen, and the low-glycemic-won’t-spike-your-insulin-alternative sweetener ‘Swerve’, you have a decadent buttery chewy treat.

Here’s why I’m a BIG FAN of tigernut.

It is:

  • Naturally gluten-free and nut-free flour alternative
  • Allergy friendly: no nuts, no gluten, no lactose
  • Organic and non-GMO (at least the Tiger Nuts USA brand)
  • Super high in prebiotic fiber (a resistant starch that feeds the friendly gut bacteria and aids digestion)
  • 5:1, Paleo, Keto, Whole30 friendly because it’s lower in carbohydrates and less energy dense than traditional flours
  • Nutritional minerals: iron, zinc, copper, magnesium
  • Natural sweet, coconutty flavor
  • Can be replaced 1 for 1 for flour in most baking recipes

When you combine all of those benefits with the gut healing, skin-glowing, tendon repairing benefits of collagen, and the low-glycemic-won’t-spike-your-insulin-alternative sweetener ‘Swerve’, you have a decadent buttery chewy treat you can feel good about sharing with the whole fam!

  2. In a medium bowl combine together Collagen, Tigernut Flour, Swerve, butter, egg, and vanilla extract, sea salt and baking soda. (By hand or electric mixer) *if you have the time and want more of a ‘shortbread’ cookie, chill the dough in the fridge for about 1 hour.
  3. Once chilled, (or not, your choice) scoop 12 cookie dough balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet .
  4. Bake the chocolate cookies for 12-15 minutes until the edges are browned.
  5. In the meantime place chocolate chunks, sea salt, swerve and coconut oil in a small bowl, microwave for 20 seconds, remove and stir vigorously to incorporate chocolate and coconut oil. Microwave only 10 seconds at a time, stirring immediately until chocolate is melted and cookies can be dipped in it.
