FAQs

Q: Can I use a different nut flour?
A: Almond flour gives the best texture. Other nut flours may change texture and bake time.

Q: Can I use only one sweetener?
A: Yes. You can use just erythritol-based sweetener or allulose, but flavor and texture may change slightly.

Q: Do I have to chill the bars?
A: Chilling helps the filling set and makes clean slices. You can cut sooner, but slices may be softer.

Q: Can I make these in a larger pan?
A: Yes. Use a 9×13 pan and increase bake times slightly, checking for a set filling.

Q: Are these suitable for diabetics?
A: They use low-carb sweeteners, but people with diabetes should check ingredients and portions and consult their diet plan.
