I also use that same brand of Lupin flour - it's supposed to be a 'sweet white' brand, rather than the more bitter yellow of some. I have made full-on lupin flour biscuits and liked them - I made a note on the recipe that they were good. But I couldn't replicate the same result with another batch. Mostly though I blend the lupin flour in with bamboo or oat fiber, egg white protein powder, and xanthan gum, subbing the lupin flour for almond flour in one of Victoria's Keto Kitchen flour blend recipes. It works wonderfully for sweet stuff like cakes, cookies, and brownies, but I haven't been successful at biscuits tasting great with anything, not even straight up carbquik. It's all down to chemistry which I need to play with again. Using aluminum free baking powder seems to be important in savory baked goods, but doesn't matter in sweet stuff in my experience. All that to say I'm excited to try blending it with the coconut flour - I didn't know where to start since I haven't mastered the art of converting coconut flour to or from other flours yet (despite watching your video on same). So thanks so much for this one and I'm looking forward to throwing some flour around soon - as well as more lupin experiment videos you may choose to make!
I discovered lupin flour a year ago. I do use it, but I’m one of those people who can totally detect the bitterness. I tried pure lupin flour in some muffins. Nope…right into my compost bin. I now use a combo of almond and coconut flours with the lupin. I looked into the Australian lupin, but it unfortunately, was way too expensive for me.
Hi Janet. First of all, my best wishes for 2024. I've been using a mixture of lupin, almond, and coconut flour to bake bread for quite some time now. I use a Belgian lupin flower brand that has no bitter aftertaste. Thank you for this sweet recipe. It is very much appreciated. 🍪
Thank you for the recipe, Janet. I’ve never noticed any bitter taste with lupin flour. Maybe some can detect it and some cannot- like aspirin. Glad I am one of the cannots as I hate everything I bake tasting of coconut. PS I highly recommend lupin flour tortillas, they are delicious.
the lupin/coconut look good. will try them tomorrow. otherwise im obsessed with lupin.. lupin pasta is ridiculously delicious. and its the only way to make a good 'almost the real thing' keto roux - making for some great gravies & stews & gumbo & sausage biscuits (will use that with your biscuits!). im personally not averse to the taste at all.. the bitterness doesnt stand out (& i use the brand you just tried).
@@JanetsDeliciousLowCarbKitchen i promise you'll LOVE it! it is a literal game changer. easy to put together, the closest thing to the real thing! amazing. eggs already on the counter for these biscuits today!
Serious Keto did a taste test of several brands of lupin flour and he liked the Aviate brand the best. That is what I purchased and I have never tasted any bitterness with it. I really enjoy it-it is smooth not grainy like almond flour but it is more absorbent than Almond flour so you have to watch the amount of liquid you put in the recipe. I also want to say that I made your blondies while I was visiting my daughter for Christmas. I did not use lupin flour but followed the recipe exactly and everyone raved about them-even the non keto people. I am going to try them with lupin flour next time I am baking them. Thanks for everything you do. I love your recipes.
I’ve found it does make a difference as to which brand you use . Also, I e used it to make keto French fries and it works well. I don’t notice an aftertaste however it’s a little more structured so it doesn’t flatten out as readily as does coconut or almond flour fries. Consider using for cornbread muffins and add a little cornbread extract - nice results. Thank you for your willingness to venture out ! Love your channel!
This will be a good try! Whenever I use eggs in these types of recipes, I separate them to and whip the whites separately a bit to give a bit of flffy/rise to the end result. Try it if you have not already! I bet these would taste good peanut buttery (plain bp powder) especially with that greek yogurt!
It might work. The only problem might be the batter may be thick and the tortillas may not be pliable. I have a few tortilla recipes if you want to try them out. This one is my favorite janetsdeliciouslowcarbkitchen.com/the-easiest-2-ingredient-keto-tortillas/
Being English, what we call a biscuit is very different to these! What do you use them for, just eat on their own, or.? I tried some bread rolls with part Lupin flour yesterday, first time I’d used it, and it worked well. I used eggs and yoghurt and psyllium husk as well. No bitterness at all. I will try the Lupin coconut flour mix.
Yes American biscuits are much different than English biscuits. These can be in many ways. I like to eat with my dinner just like a dinner roll or I warm eat them for breakfast with peanut butter or cream cheese.
OK... finally got up the nerve to make these! DELICIOUS!!! i used the lupin/coconut with sour cream. GREAT texture.. GREAT taste! a little sweet, with an almost cornbread like texture. the lupin hides the coconut flavor (mostly), & the coconut hides the lupin bitterness (although i use that brand that u did.. its not as bitter as others!) WE HAVE A KEEPER! (i just added 1/2t salt to my mix since everything needs salt!)
@@JanetsDeliciousLowCarbKitchen yes! didnt get much browning so was worried... but such a great texture! and with a big dollop of kerrygold on top? out of this world!
In this recipe it is 5TBS lupin flour and 3TBS coconut flour. Coconut flour is a lot more absorbent than lupin flour so for other recipes I would use mostly lupin flour with a couple tablespoons of coconut flour. You will most likely need to adjust your binding agents in other recipes
Thanks again! I appreciate it. I love that you’re always creating new recipes. I followed your tutorial on using coconut flour, very interesting. Blessings!
Not all Lupin is bitter! Lupin grown in regions of France and Italy are high in alkaloids. Lupin grown in Australia is a different seed and is virtually alkaloid and bitter free. DONT BUY LUPIN FROM FRANCE AND ITALY if you want flour that is no t bitter! Buy Australian! Bottom line not all lupine flour is created equal!
Thank you for the recipe. If you can get a hold of Australian Lupin Flour, it has no bitterness
You're welcome and thanks for the tip

Yeah I made sure that this was sweet lupin flour. I'm pretty sure people who have talked about a strong aftertaste have used yellow lupin flour.

I have lupin flour I will try the blended flour
Awesome! I hope it turns out to your liking when you try it
good to know! will blend it from now on
👍😊
I use half lupin flour and half oat fiber. Tastes great
Sounds good
the lupin/coconut look good. will try them tomorrow.

I actually was thinking about making pasta using lupin flour. I hope the lupin/coconut mixture works for you

Hi! I was wondering if you could use this coconut/lupin flour for tortillas
It might work. The only problem might be the batter may be thick and the tortillas may not be pliable. I have a few tortilla recipes if you want to try them out. This one is my favorite janetsdeliciouslowcarbkitchen.com/the-easiest-2-ingredient-keto-tortillas/

Hi! What’s the ratio using lupin flour with coconut flour
In this recipe it is 5TBS lupin flour and 3TBS coconut flour. Coconut flour is a lot more absorbent than lupin flour so for other recipes I would use mostly lupin flour with a couple tablespoons of coconut flour. You will most likely need to adjust your binding agents in other recipes
Thanks again! I appreciate it.
I love that you’re always creating new recipes. I followed your tutorial on using coconut flour, very interesting.

@@zan3do you're welcome. I'm glad I can help
I have lupin flour and use it in my chaffles and I don't taste any bitterness at all
😀
I use Lipina brand lupin flour and have never tasted a bitter flavor.
Yes Lipina and Modern Mountain don't have an aftertaste
It’s the alkaloid which gives a bitter taste
Yes I will say the Modern Mountain brand really doesn't have much of a bitter taste.
Not all Lupin is bitter! Lupin grown in regions of France and Italy are high in alkaloids. Lupin grown in Australia is a different seed and is virtually alkaloid and bitter free. DONT BUY LUPIN FROM FRANCE AND ITALY if you want flour that is no t bitter! Buy Australian! Bottom line not all lupine flour is created equal!
This is very true 👍
