Ingredients
  

Base Mix
  • 112 g lupin flour
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 36 g unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/3 cup erythritol or preferred low-carb sweetener
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp pink salt
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon
Eggs
  • 6 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar for stabilizing egg whites

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it lightly with butter.
  2. In a large bowl, mix lupin flour, erythritol, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff peaks form.
  4. In the dry mix, add egg yolks, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  5. Gently fold one-third of the whipped egg whites into the batter to lighten it. Gradually fold in the rest, preserving as much air as possible.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top. Bake for 30 minutes or until golden and a knife comes out clean.
  7. Remove from the oven and let sit for 10 minutes. Then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, slice into 12 pieces and serve as desired.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature ingredients and choose a high-quality lupin flour with a clean flavor. Flavor variations such as herbs or cheese can be added to the base mix. Toast slices to enhance texture.
