We are always being asked what to do with the tiger nut pulp that is left once you have made tiger nut milk, so here is another delicious recipe for you to try! Tiger nut pulp (really we should invent a better name for it!) is super high in fibre, and goodness and it tastes delicious. You can use it sprinkled on cereal or made into raw snack balls – or use in lost of recipes instead of tiger nut flour, although you may need to adjust the wet ingredients slightly.

This recipe was created for us by Anna, a  nutritionist from the Be Free With Anna blog, you will find lots of delicious recipes on her site – and how delicious does this cake look?! It uses flour, but you could substitute for gluten-free like this Doves Farm if needed.
