Pumpkin Tigernut Waffles (AIP, Top 8 Free)


Welcoming the fall with crispy Pumpkin Tigernut Waffles! Filled with healthy fiber, these versatile waffles are AIP, Top 8 Free, and low-FODMAP. Perfect sweet or savory, try the waffles for breakfast, lunch or an afternoon snack. You can even use the waffle as a bread substitute and make an open-faced sandwich, topped with your favorites.

The flavor combination of pumpkin and tigernut couldn’t be more perfect for this time of year, providing a warm “nutty” flavor, all without the nuts.

So, what exactly is a tigernut?

Despite the name, tigernut is not a nut. It is a tuber that grows on one of the only edible sedges, Cyperus esculentus (Yellow Nut Grass).

Tigernut flour is incredibly versatile — it is one of my favorite gluten-free and nut-free baking flours. It is very rich in prebiotic fiber, a resistant starch, making it great for supporting gut health by feeding your microbiome.

Ingredients for Pumpkin Tigernut Waffles:

  • Tigernut flour
  • Coconut flour
  • Arrowroot powder
  • Gelatin
  • Pumpkin puree
  • Full-fat coconut milk
  • Maple syrup
  • Cinnamon
  • Vanilla extract
  • Baking soda
  • Apple cider vinegar
  • Sea salt

RECOMMENDATIONS

  • I used a Dash mini waffle maker and highly recommend giving it a try. I find that the mini size (4″ diameter) works much better for AIP waffles. For this recipe, I can’t speak from experience how the waffles will turn out in a full-size waffle maker. Please let me know if you give it a try!
  • These waffles are perfect sweet or savory – your choice! Try topping the waffles with sliced tigernuts, a little maple syrup, and coconut yogurt for a sweeter option. For savory, you could try pairing the waffles with a salad, eggs (AIP reintro), or even use the waffle as “bread” for an open-faced sandwich.
  • Store the pumpkin tigernut waffles in an air-tight container. Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or in the freezer for up to 3 months. I love to reheat the waffles in a toaster oven before enjoying.
