Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Almond Flour Use a 1:1 swap for most baking; cut sugar if recipe is sweet.
  • 1 cup Chickpea Flour Swap 1:1 in savory goods; expect denser crumb and earthy flavor.
  • 1 cup Soy Flour Use 1:1 ratio; reduce liquid slightly if too wet; store chilled.
  • Coconut Flour Use ⅓ cup coconut flour per 1 cup lupin flour plus extra liquid.
  • 1 cup Sunflower Flour Swap 1:1 for gluten-free breads; mild nutty flavor, denser crumb.
  • 1 cup Pea Protein Use 1:1 ratio plus extra liquid; dense texture may turn gritty if overmixed.
  • 1 cup Pumpkin Seed Flour Swap 1:1; expect slightly denser crumb and earthy nutty flavor.

Method
 

  1. Select your substitute based on recipe type: baking, cooking, or both protein and structure needs.
  2. If using coconut flour or pea protein, prepare to increase liquid and add eggs where suggested.
  3. For almond, chickpea, soy, sunflower, or pumpkin seed flours, use a 1:1 swap ratio with lupin flour.
  4. When using soy flour, reduce liquid slightly if batter appears too wet and store flour in the fridge to keep fresh.
  5. Add coconut flour gradually by sifting and mix slowly to avoid clumps; let batter rest to thicken before baking.
  6. Taste test dough or batter before adding extra salt or spices, especially with soy and pumpkin seed flours.
  7. Adjust recipe liquids based on the absorbency of the substitute to maintain proper batter consistency.

Notes

Add liquid slowly when using pea protein to prevent a gritty texture in your baked goods.
