Everyday Vanilla Lupin Flour Pancakes for Diabetic, Celiac, and Keto Lifestyles

Looking for a healthy way to enjoy fluffy, delicious pancakes without the carb crash? Look no further! Meet your new pantry MVP: Lupin Flour.

This low-carb, high-fiber flour makes it easy to whip up pancakes that are just as satisfying as the classic stack, without the sugar spike. Let’s break down why lupin flour is a game-changer—and how to make it part of your everyday routine.

WHY LUPIN FLOUR?

Lupin flour is made from the lupin bean, a legume related to peanuts and soybeans. However, unlike many legumes, lupin beans are naturally low in carbohydrates and rich in protein and fibre.

Here’s how it compares:

  • 3x more protein and fiber than chickpea flour
  • Over 80% fewer net carbs than white flour
  • Gluten-free, grain-free, keto- and diabetic-friendly

Pancakes with Benefits

These aren’t just pancakes—they’re pancakes with purpose.

  • Lupin Flour – Keeps net carbs ultra-low
  • Psyllium Husk – Adds structure + gut-friendly fiber
  • MCT Oil – Fuels metabolism + keeps pancakes moist
  • Vanilla Protein Powder – Boosts protein to keep you full

Finally, low-carb pancakes you can actually feel good about.

  • 50g vanilla protein powder
  • 8g psyllium husk
