Lupin Flour?

[JMCM1]

I made mine in the standard size loaf pan.
Baked it for 27 minutes at 356 degrees.

I can't wait to hear what you think.

I couldn't wait for it to completely cool, so I had a warm slice with cheese. I added some sunflower and sesame seeds and a titch of splenda to the batter.

OMdoG! I LOVE this stuff! Next time I'll double the recipe to try and make a higher loaf though.

Tulipsandroses, could you post your biscuit final recipe and cookies? I get too confused going back and forth.

Does anyone have and errr gas problems with this flour? Coconut flour makes me clear a room.

My thought is it is a bean. Maybe some Beano with it. I have to do that with a gluten free BRM bread mix as it has bean flour. But have not had that issue with coconut flour.

I made a microwave bread this morning with half almond flour and half lupin, plus egg white powder. I used it to make a grilled cheese sandwich. It was awesome. I'd love to make a whole loaf of bread but I'm skeptical about making the chili mango bread because I just can't stand anything made with protein powder. I can always taste the protein powder.

Brenda, I don't have a final recipe for the biscuit or cookies. I was experimenting with the flour and thats what I came up with. I'll repost what I did.

For the biscuits

I had already melted 2 TBS of Butter and added an egg, 1 tsp baking powder and 4 TBS of lupin flour and was going to make a microwave muffin and then decided to try some biscuits instead. I added 1 TBS of egg white powder, 1/2 tsp of gluc, threw in some shredded cheese, (sorry didn't measure), 1 TBS buttermilk, 1 tsp garlic powder, and a dash of salt, added another TBS of Lupin flour. Then baked in the oven at 350. Sorry didn't even time it. Just took them out when they looked ready. LOL. These were not bad for an experiment. The texture was fantastic. My son loved them. They need a little tweaking because I think the ratio of the ingredients needs to be improved. The texture was on point. Very biscuit like. The taste though reminded me of garlic flavored cheezits than cheese garlic biscuits.

When I made my 2nd batch of biscuits, I used Alton Brown's southern biscuit recipe. Subbed the regular flour for lupin flour. His recipe uses buttermilk. I only made a half of his recipe and for the buttermilk, to lower the carbs I mixed 1/4 buttermilk with 1/4 cup heavy cream.

Ingredients
2 cups flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons shortening
1 cup buttermilk, chilled


For the cookies

Chocolate macadamia cookies
1/2 cup almond flour
1/2 cup lupin flour
1/2 cup chopped macadamias
1/4 cup tagatose
2 TBS SF honey
1 egg
1/2 of a SF chocolate bar chopped up
1/2 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
dash of salt
1 tsp baking powder

Cream butter and sugar then add vanilla and egg, mix well. Add dry ingredients, and mix. If preferred hold back chocolate and nuts and mix in last. I dropped by a spoon, placed 2 inches apart on baking tray and bake

I have not figured out the right time to bake these yet because the tagatose browns fast so i just keep my eyes on them.

When I made the 2nd batch of cookies, I replaced the macadamias with shredded coconut. Took out the SF Chocolate bar. Then topped it with SF Tagatose Caramel and and SF Monin Chocolate Sauce

I was the same way until I started using Pea Protein Isolate and Whey Protein CONCENTRATE. I never found a Whey Isolate that I could stand the taste of, whereas the unflavoured concentrate that I buy (Progressive Organics) has no taste that I can discern in any of my baked goods.

[tulipsandroses]

I might make a trip to Whole Foods today and pick up some Pea Protein. Thats the only place I've seen it locally. I do love this lupin flour though Yaz, thanks for posting about it. I'm going to attempt a batter for frying with it later. Will report my results later.

I got the idea from others here at LCF (not sure who). I boiled a small cauliflower, drained, added 1 oz. cream cheese, S & P, 1 T Lupin Flour. Then I used my immersion blender to whip it all up. If someone would have served this to me without telling me what it was, I would have said mashed potatoes. Texture and taste like mashed potatoes.

LAst week I attempted to make hamburger buns using mashed cauli and lupin flour. It did not work as buns, but the end result was tasty. I baked the mixture in my muffin top pan and topped with sour cream, bacon and cheese. It didn't hold up as a hamburger bun, but topped with sour cream, cheese and bacon and it was good.

Just ordered the pea protein and the Lupin flour. Can't wait to try these!

The author of the blog said you didn't have to use the protein powder. You could just use more lupin flour. I would think almond flour would be a good substitute also. It wasn't a lot of protein powder in the recipe. BTW. Making one of your biscuits for breakfast this morning.

COOL! I can't wait to try this, Redeemed!

Me too, I guess I will have to buy some Lupin Flour.

Ever since I started using oat flour and glucomannan for cooking, our digestive systems had to ....um....adjust to all the fiber. It's all good though. I told my family they should be thanking me for getting more fiber in their diets. I only got one "thanks".

Are you also using oat fiber? My family really "noticed" that! LOL!

Hey - you're welcome family!

Ugh! Yes, I'm using oat fiber, not oat flour.

Lol!

[tulipsandroses]

OK, finally got some pea protein so I am about to make the chili mango bread. Wish me luck!
I made a microwave bread using the Fantastic Flour Mix but subbed 1 TBS Almond Flour & 1 TBS Lupin flour for the coconut flour and switched the Whey Protein to Pea Protein to first test my taste tolerance to the pea protein. No funky taste like I usually get from Whey Protein. I cut into 4 pieces and used it for bread for a bacon cheeseburger. Not bad. A tad bit dry. I will add more butter next time.

I will post results of the lupin bread when it is finished later.

[tulipsandroses]

I am a big fan of Lupin flour but I am not a fan of the Chili mango bread. Too eggy. I thought so when I saw 6 eggs but decided to try it anyway. I have truly enjoyed my lupin/almond flour microwave breads so I might try to come up with a a recipe for a whole bread based on that.

[Yaz]

I can't stand eggy breads either, so when I saw the recipe I knew that I would not be using 6 whole eggs.

I find that by subbing egg whites for some or all of the whole eggs it takes away the eggy taste for me in most recipes.

[ouizoid]

I'm going to try making my BTF mix subbing lupin for the coconut flour and then making some bread

[shunsweets]

That sounds great Quizoid as I am finding I hate the taste of coconut flour and have been wanting to try your mix again without it to see if I have better luck. Please share your results with us!

Oh, that will be interesting! Let us know how it goes.

[Redeemed]

I tweaked this recipe of Barbo's. I used Tagatose for the sweeter and subbed lupin flour instead of almond flour. I poured the batter into my silicon muffin tray and microwaved for 1 l/2 minutes. I got four small muffins. I frosted them with almond milk and powdered Swerve. The texture was dense. The muffins were more bar-like than cake-like; but tasted very good. The muffins were just the right size because they were so "rich" tasting. I will be using this for a base for pumpkin and bananna muffins also.

I also made the chocolate cookies and they are wonderful as well. We love them both!

I FINALLY made buttoni's Lupin Lemon Cookies and we love them, too!!
We love lemon desserts here, but the erythritol is usually too "cooling" in our throats. I added enough EZ Sweetz to equal one cup + more for our own tastes. This was the first time I'd used the sugar-free honey. The combination of sweeteners was great and the cookie is fantastic.

Importantly for us - no "beany" taste from the Lupin flour. I made the chili mango bread recipe and the taste of the flour was very strong. I may have more taste buds than I thought! lol

The cookies were great, though.

[Redeemed]

I had another muffin that I made this morning from Barbo's recipe (post 203) - I really think the muffins made with Lupin flour would make a great chocolate brownie. The consistency is just right for brownies.

I can't do the honey as all the ones I found have malitol and that KIlLS me! Is your honey made with malitol also?

[Brendajm]

I took George Stella's blueberry scone recipe and instead of 1 cup almond flour I did half cup almond flour and half cup lupin flour. They turned out great. I am trying to sub this for half the almond flour to cut the calories and it costs less. My hubby liked them too.

It is - sorry.
And I was worried! So I only eat one cookie at a time....
But you could sub tagatose or something you tolerate better, maybe?

[yougottaeat]

Netrition has xylitol honey. That is what I used and it worked great!
