Notes
Ingredients
It is important to use a keto syrup made with corn syrup (non GMO), Allulose Syrup, or syrup derived from tapioca starch like Nothing Naughty. If the first ingredient of the syrup is water then it is not suited to making this low carb protein bar recipe.
Bars can be made in any silicone moulds, ice cube trays or slice trays.
