Default Lupin a Low Carb/Keto Option

We went to Costco on Monday and picked up something new to us, Lupin Flour. Lupin is a legume, but unlike most it has no starch which therefore, makes it low carb!

So far we've tried the recipe on the package, it's a slightly grainy rather bland "carb" base, sort of a texture between cornmeal and oatmeal. Basic microwave package directions comes out rather like mashed potatoes. Hubby cooked up some mushrooms and made it more like risotto. I can see where it could be a better than oatmeal option for me. And maybe in my search of the perfect "Toddmale" a well filled keto-friendly tamale named for the hubby.

Can also be used for breading but we haven't tried it yet. Only thing in the house available (unthawed) for that treatment would be a can of spam.
