Breakfast muffins with chufa

Breakfast muffins with chufa

These breakfast muffins are the perfect way to start the day. I’ve made them with chufa which is also known as the tiger nut and the main ingredient in a Valencian drink called Horchata. Come to think of it I still have some tiger nuts in my cup board which I brought home after our trip to Valencia.

But back to these muffins; I made these for paleo magazine number 4 of this year.

Easy to make

Ever since I’ve discovered how easy it is to bake with silicon moulds I haven’t done otherwise. Especially when you’re making gluten free breakfast muffins. Since there are no gluten in the muffins they fall apart more easily. When you use silicon moulds you can get them out of the moulds perfectly.

Still a few didn’t come out so well due to the fact that my blue berries were massive in size. Something to keep in mind when you want to bake these blue berry breakfast muffins. Make sure you choose small blue berries as the large ones will be too big for a relatively small muffins.

Chufa

If you don’t have chufa or can’t find it, you can easily substitute almond flour for this. I love the taste of chufa as it gives it a bit of a nutty flavour. And a bit of a crunch that almond flour doesn’t have.

If you’re more of a savoury breakfast person you can try these egg muffins.
