Does anyone else use Lupin flour?

[Merryoldgoat]

I’m on keto with my husband as I need to improve my metabolic health and lose a significant amount of weight.

I’ve recently discovered Lupin flour and made a few things. They taste brilliant but I can’t really believe it’s actually keto.

Anyone got any longer term experience?

I made a pizza with the ae from lupin flour. I might try some bread

Is 40 gr carb/100 gr low carb? Wheat is 62 gr, so not a huge difference.

@Merryoldgoat please could you share your recipes. I have a bag of lupin flour but don't know what to do with it!

No but I’m intrigued. Can it be used as a like for like swap?

@SquashPenguin not sure if like for like but it’s not dissimilar I’m consistency. I’m going to try pasta next week…

@Mad1988 apparently that’s almost all fibre. Only 3g net carbs per 100g

I’m a stone down over about 5 weeks and I’ve eaten lots of Lupin waffles and pancakes and they don’t affect ketosis at all.

This is the recipe I’ve been using. Loads of stuff on the website:

Also loads of ideas and tutorials on YouTube

Pics of some waffles and tortilla I made. The tortilla in particular were surprisingly good.

Where do you buy it?

Amazon along with all the other weird stuff like oat fibre and wheat gluten.

In case people aren't aware, lupin is a legume in the same family as peanut - so those with peanut allergies might react to it too. (They might not too, but there's a higher risk.) We have peanut allergies in the family and avoid anything with lupin to be on the safe side. Just wanted to let people know in case they've allergies themselves or will be sharing their baking with others who might be allergic. Otherwise it sounds great.

Should have mentioned, you can also be allergic to lupin without being allergic to peanut. It's one of the 14 allergens that is required to be listed on foods.

Thank you - that’s really important and I didn’t think to say.
