Fluffy Pancakes

Ingredients

  • 40 g lupin flour 
  • 10 g almond flour
  • 2 teaspoons erythritol or 1/8 tsp pure monkfruit extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon xanthan gum
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 2 teaspoons melted butter coconut oil or ghee
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 4-6 tablespoons unsweetened almond milk

Method

  • Mix lupin flour, almond flour, sweetener, baking powder, xanthan gum and salt in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Whisk thoroughly together in a medium bowl the eggs, butter and vanilla extract. Whisk in the dry ingredients followed by the milk, a tablespoon at a time. You can play with the thickness a bit, but I found the best consistency to be with 4 TBSP (the batter is thicker than with regular pancakes, but will spread easily into a round). Allow the batter to rest for 10 minutes while you heat up a skillet or pan.
  • Add a little butter to the pan, pour in about 1/4 cup of batter, spreading it slightly to help it form a nice round (you can use a wet spoon or spatula). Cook over medium heat until the top begins to darken, flip and cook for 2-3 minutes more. Serve right away with toppings of choice.

Gluten free bread

Lupin gluten free bread

Ingredients

500mls water

3 x 60g eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tsp vinegar

4 cups GF flour (I use 1 cup each of buckwheat, wholemeal Lupin, chickpea and polenta)

3 tablespoons mixed seeds (I use poppy seeds, pine nuts, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, sesame seeds, linseed)

1 tbsp xanthan gum

2 tablespoons sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt

2 tsp yeast

Method

Put ingredients in pan in the order above.

Place in bread maker.

Choose gluten free programme.

Select dark crust.

Select 1 kg loaf size (if you don’t have a size selection on your machine that’s fine)

Press start. Scrape sides of tin down after 5/10 mins to encourage all ingredients to be mixed properly.

Cook about 2.5 hrs.

This is very much a mix and match recipe as far as flours go. If I can’t find what I want I use other flours such as brown rice or tapioca. I have never used spelt but some people may like to use it.

I also add some Lupin kibble to my flour mix, the amount varies but about half a cup to my container, in which I mix all my flours.
