These buttery keto lupin flour biscuits have the taste and texture of traditional biscuits, but without the carbs. Only 1 net carb per biscuit!
I have been wanting to try lupin flour for a while, but never found it in my local stores. Finally, I gave in and ordered it and it is a game changer in my low carb recipe game. Just look at those macros!
Lupin flour is a flour from Austrailia, made from a legume called lupin. It is related to peanuts, so if you have an allergy to peanuts, I would steer clear of lupin flour.
These keto lupin flour biscuits are my first recipe using this ingredient. I just wanted to make a biscuit that would taste similar to a biscuit. This definitely did the trick. When mixing up the batter, I tasted it and it had a hint of a bean sprout flavor. I was worried that this is what the outcome would be, but I was pleasantly surprised that there was no “off” flavors what-so-ever.
The batter was pretty thick, with help from the xantham gum. I baked the biscuits in my silicone muffin pan. I have gotten so much use out of this thing in the past month that I have owned it. So much, that I think I need to get a second one.
These keto lupin flour biscuits are pretty basic. Feel free to dress it up with cheese, meats, flavors or whatever. Trust me, I will be playing with this recipe more in the future!

Notes
*For this recipe, I used Steviva Blends sweetener. Since the sweetener equivalent is 2:1, I only used 1/2 tablespoon.

I was wondering what you think about using almond milk instead of the cream, to lower the fat content? That cream really ups the fat macro. Ty

Sigh, mine have a uniform smooth appearance on top and taste like flavorless extra soft corn muffins. They did not look like this picture at all! I have been keto baking for 4+ years, not sure what went wrong (used Carrington Farms lupin flour).

I just made this recepie exactly as written and when I took them out of the oven they all sunk in, they had a good taste but I don't think they were baked enough

The brand matters with lupin flour. Lupina uses sweet white lupin beans, some other brands do not. Some of them are bitter. Lupina isn't.
