    What are lupini beans?

    Lupini beans are a yellow legume seed of Lupinis and are often eaten in the Mediterranean as a snack. They have a creamy nutty flavour and can be purchased dry or in jars.

    Are lupini beans keto?

    Lupini beans are great for a keto vegetarian diet as they are low in carbs and packed with protein. In a 100g of lupini beans there are 111 calories, 12g protein, 13g carbs and 3g of fiber.

    Lupini beans also make a great low carb flour too!  The protein content is a good choice for the keto vegetarian and keto vegan.

    Recipe Tips

    I used lupini beans from a jar as it’s a lot easier than having to boil dried beans. The brand I used was Flora.

    These fritters are baked but you could shallow fry them or cook them in the air fryer. I think the air fryer would work better than shallow frying as they will keep their shape better and have an extra crispy taste.

    Use a spice blend to your own tastes. Up the chilli or try more dried herbs.
