Jump to RecipeIngredients You’ll Need to Make Modified AIP Tigernut Chocolate Lacy Cookies
To make these cookies, you’ll need tigernut flour, cocoa powder, unsweetened shredded coconut, grain-free baking powder, coconut sugar (or maple sugar), coconut milk, and pure vanilla extract.
Be sure to use full-fat coconut milk for the best texture and grain-free baking powder to keep it Modified AIP compliant.
These Cookies Mix Up and Bake Up in a Pinch!
In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients until evenly mixed. Then, shape the dough into 8 flat disc-shaped cookies and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Sprinkle the tops with extra shredded coconut for added flavor and texture.
Bake the cookies at 375 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 minutes. Once they’re done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. This step is crucial for achieving the perfect texture.
What’s Up with the Cocoa (and No Carob)?
You might be wondering why this recipe includes cocoa powder when it’s labeled as AIP (Autoimmune Protocol). The answer lies in the Modified part of the name!
The Modified AIP is a less strict version of the Core (original) AIP diet. Based on recent studies, this version allows for more flexibility while still providing the benefits of the AIP diet. Learn more about the differences between Core and Modified AIP here!
