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.

13.92 Total Carbs – 4.58 Fiber – 5.41 Sugar Alcohols – 0 Allulose = 3.93 Net Carbs per coated bite or 1/9 of recipe.
