FAQs

Q: Are these bars very sweet?
A: They are sweet but not overly so. You can adjust sweetener to taste.

Q: Can I use a different flour?
A: Almond flour works best for keto. Other flours will change texture and carb count.

Q: Can I make these nut-free?
A: The recipe uses pecans as the main ingredient. For nut-free, try seeds like sunflower, but the flavor will differ.

Q: Do I have to chill before cutting?
A: Yes. Chilling helps the filling set and makes clean slices.

Q: Can I use only erythritol instead of allulose?
A: You can, but allulose helps with a gooey texture. Using only erythritol may make the filling grainy.
