Notes

Tigernut flour is a little more expensive than other types of flour, but making your own tiger nut butter is cheaper than buying already prepared jarred tiger nut butter*.
For a more savory snack add a dash of sea salt. If you want your nut butter sweeter, add a tsp of maple syrup or coconut sugar.
You can use coconut* or avocado oil* as a substitute for the extra virgin olive oil, but you may need to use a blender* or food processor* to mix the flour and coconut oil.
If you have any left over tigernut butter you can place it in a sealable container in the fridge for up to 10 days. Depending on the oil you use it may need to thaw out before eating.
