-while the name makes us believe otherwise, these little guys are not nuts at all! They are a root vegetable grown all around the world. Very high in magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, vitamins C and E, and a great source of resistant starch fiber.
-a great option for sluggish digestion and amazing for helping balance blood sugar—keeping you fuller longer. They also benefit your gut by acting as a prebiotic, stimulating the growth of good bacteria in the digestive tract.
-the taste is naturally sweet, similar to a mix of coconut + almond which allows you to use less sweetener in recipes that you add them to.
Aside from all the amazing benefits of tigernuts, black sesame seeds are also a dense source of nutrition. They contain loads of antioxidants, amino acids, and are an especially rich source of macrominerals and trace minerals.
Now you know a few reasons why you need to make this yummy breakfast!
Preheat oven to 350 F.
On a baking sheet, spread 1/2 c sliced tigernuts, 1/2 c coconut flakes, & 2 T black sesame seeds. Place in oven and stir every couple minutes until golden and fragrant.
Bring 2 c unsweetened coconut milk to a boil in a large saucepan. Turn to a simmer and add a few drops of stevia or a few teaspoons of coconut sugar to your desired sweetness. Add a pinch of sea salt and cinnamon, ginger + nutmeg to taste.
Once the coconut & tigernuts are golden, add to saucepan and bring back to a boil (reserve a small handful to top). Stir constantly until soft & creamy & most of the liquid is absorbed.
Pour into 2 bowls and top with extra toasted goodness, a drizzle of pure maple syrup, and fresh fruit.
