Notes

Nutrition and carbs - Some nutrition labels omit sugar alcohols or allulose from the nutrition calculation since it does not affect blood sugar. For transparency, I have included all carbs and calculated the net carbs below. Always use a food logging app like Cronometer according to the brands you use in order to get accurate nutrition information.

19.60 Total Carbs – 6.36 Fiber – 4.03 Sugar Alcohols – 5.63 Allulose = 3.58 Net Carbs per bar or ⅛ of recipe.
