It also contains minimal starch and has been proved to lower cholesterol, blood pressure, and improve insulin sensitivity. 

Each 1/4 cup serving of Lupin Flour contains about 1g net card, which is one-third than that of almond flour. And you could also say that it’s friendly for Keto Diet.

So if you think overall, it’s a great alternative for many use cases of regular flour in terms of health benefits. However, the taste might seem not the best at the beginning but one could get used to it after a few dishes made of lupin flour.

Also, since it’s closely related to soybeans and peanuts, people with soy or nut allergies need to stay concerned.

4. Low-Carb White Lupin Tortilla Recipe

• Save

Are you looking for a quick and easy side dish for your dinner that takes little to no time to prepare and is delicious? Then you are going to love this Low Carb White Lupin Tortilla Recipe! This tasty recipe is made with only a handful of ingredients and will surely be a crowd-pleaser. It’s low-carb, gluten-free, and completely healthy!

Ingredients

• 1 large egg
• 50 g whole dairy milk
• 15 g lupin flour 
• 1 pinch of fine Himalayan pink salt
• A little coconut oil

• Save

Instructions

1. Whip the egg until it is slightly foamy.
2. Add lupin flour to the foamy egg and whisk until smooth.
3. Add dairy milk, whisk again, and ensure no lumps are there.
4. Keep the batter to rest. Heat a small frying pan (medium-low heat) that you must smear with a little coconut oil.
5. Whisk one more time and pour about 55g of batter (about ½ of the recipe unless you have adjusted servings) into the pan; tilt it to spread the batter evenly all over the bottom.
6. Cook for about 3-4 min. Lift the edge with a flexible spatula to check on it – if it’s dry and you can lift it up easily, flip it over to cook the other side (If it’s stuck in places, you can slide a spatula underneath); if it’s not yet dry, you need to cook for a little longer or it will break if lifted.
7. After you’ve cooked both sides once, keep flipping it a couple of times – you need to make sure that both sides are dry having brown speckles, otherwise, rather than ‘tortillas’, you’ll end up with crêpes.
8. Quickly whisk the remaining batter and make the second ‘tortilla’ in the exact same process.
9. Serve with anything you like.

6. Keto Lupin Flour Chocolate Chip Cookies Recipe

• Save

Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free, Keto Chocolate Chip cookies that taste and look like the real thing!!! These cookies are PERFECT with a slightly crispy exterior but a chewy and soft middle, with crinkles at the top.

Ingredients

• 1/2 Cup Golden Lakanto
• 2 egg yolks
• 2 Tablespoons of Lupin Flour
• 1 Stick of softened, Salted Butter (not melted)
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• Almond Flour, 1.25 cups + 2 Tablespoons
• Slightly less than 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 Cup of Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips              
• [Optional] Chocolate Bar, Chopped into chunks (to top)

• Save

Instruction

1. Preheat the Oven to 350°F. 
2. Mix Lupin Flour and Almond Flour in a bowl and whisk until blended. Set aside.
3. With a hand mixer or a stand-mixer, Cream Golden Lakanto and Softened Butter together until semi-fluffy and smooth. Add in egg yolks, baking soda, baking powder, vanilla extract, and salt and blend until smooth.  Now add Almond & Lupin Flour mixture and blend until it looks and feels like a chunky and sticky dough. With a spatula, fold in the chocolate chips. 
4. Line the ungreased Silpat Baking Mat or parchment paper with a baking sheet. Grab some dough with your hands and roll it into 11-12 round balls (expect the dough to be a little sticky) and put them AT LEAST 2 INCHES apart on your lined baking sheet because once you bake them, they will spread quite a bit.
5. You don’t want to flatten the dough balls. This process should give you 11-12 large (in diameter, about 1.5 inches or slightly larger) cookie dough balls. If you choose to make more or fewer cookies, you’ll have to make smaller or larger dough balls and you’ll have to adjust your baking times accordingly (mentioned later in the baking step of the instructions).
6. After you’re done making the dough balls, gently insert a few extra chocolate chips or Chocolate Chunks into the top of each of them.
7. Assuming that you made 11-12 dough balls like mine, you need to bake those for about 11-12.5 minutes. If you’ve made larger-sized cookies than mine (say 10 to 11 balls), then the baking time should increase to 13 – 13.5 minutes. And if you made it smaller than mine (say 13-14 cookies), then the baking time should decrease to 10 minutes.
8. Even when the cookies are finished, they will look underdone, since until they have completely cooled, they are not crisp because of the keto sweetener in them (When they’re completely cooled, the texture will change dramatically when cooled). When the edges of your cookies turn golden brown, you will know when they’re done.
9. They’re not fully finished until the edges have turned golden brown. But if they’re turning darker brown, they are overdone and they probably will taste burnt.
10. Now, things are a little tricky here to find out the exact time when they’re done because in the middle, they will always appear underdone and gooey (even when they’re overdone). So, it’s crucial to follow the duration mentioned in the recipe.
11. If you love those extra cracks and crinkles on top of your cookies, then just after you remove the cookie tray from the oven, and the cookies are still sitting hot on the baking pan, you want to bang your pan down onto the counter a couple of times.
12. It’ll develop a crack or two on each cookie. And don’t worry, this won’t ruin the cookies because they’ll hold together once they’re cooled and look even better and more appealing.
13. Let your cookies cool at least 15 minutes before eating or even moving on the baking sheet, because when hot, they’re just too soft to pick up. You can eat them only when they’ve cooled properly. Or if you like a really soft center, you may eat them when they’re slightly warm.
14. You can easily store them for 4-5 days at room temperature and enjoy them anytime when they’re cooled. If you really like your soft center, then for the case of eating them after you’ve cooled them down completely once and stored, then heat the cookies for about 10 secs in the microwave and then have them.
