About Lupin Flour
Kaizen lupin flour is made from 100% Australian lupini beans. These high-protein, high-fiber and low-carb legumes pack a nutritional punch and their neutral flavor makes them the ideal ingredient for a wheat flour substitute.
Lupini beans (also called lupin beans) are naturally plant-based, gluten free, grain free and incredibly high in fiber, which contributes to them being low in net carbs.
Lupin flour contains just 1 net carb, 12 grams of protein and 10 grams of fiber per serving, a nutritional profile that's differs greatly from other flour alternatives like almond flour or coconut flour.
It's versatile and easy to use as well, and you can create low-carb baked goods, breads, pastas and even tortillas.
In fact, lupin flour is the main ingredient in all of our Kaizen pastas and rice! If it can create the best low-carb pasta with a chewy texture and neutral flavor, think of what else it could do for your low-carb lifestyle!

Lupin Flour Pizza Crust Recipe

All you have to do is add your favorite pizza toppings. Your low carb life just got a whole lot more exciting!
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/3 cup Kaizen lupin flour
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano or Italian seasoning
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F.
- To a heat-safe mixing bowl, add shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave it for 45 seconds, then mix well, and return it to the microwave to heat for another 30-45 seconds. Take it out and let it cool for a couple of minutes.
- Once the cheese has cooled, whisk the egg in a small bowl and mix it into the cheese mixture.
- Add the dry ingredients: lupin flour, salt, garlic powder, and oregano (or dried Italian seasoning). Use your hands to mix well, then knead the dough into a ball and let it rest.
- Place the dough between 2 sheets of parchment paper and use a rolling pin to roll it out into a thin pizza crust.
- Remove the top parchment paper and set the pizza crust on a baking sheet or pizza pan. Make sure it's sitting on the bottom piece of parchment paper for easy removal after it bakes.
- Bake the pizza crust for 10 minutes in the oven or until the edges are golden brown. Take out the crust and add your favorite pizza toppings.
- Bake again for another 8-10 minutes with the pizza toppings or until everything has toasted slightly and the edges of the crust are golden brown.
- Remove the low-carb and high fiber pizza from the oven and let it sit for a couple of minutes before slicing.
Recipe Notes
Store any leftover lupin flour pizza crust in an airtight container (or wrapped in plastic wrap) in the refrigerator for 1 to 2 days.
To reheat, this pizza can be placed in the microwave for 30 seconds per slice. But for the best results, place it in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes until heated through.
