can u use xylitol and if so the same amt as stevia? please reply i would like to try this recipe..when would we be able to eat this on chris carb cycle diet? thnx
The Zylitol package will let you know the measurement changes (if any) but typically it’s the same. You can enjoy this recipe on your reward days. 🙂
I love your family. So inspirational. I have tries so many differrnt ways to lose weight and none have really worked. Seems like my body likes being in the 190s. Grrr.. but through exercise and diet changes I have been able to get off meds and been off for almost a year now. While the scale hasnt changed I am replacing fat with muscle. I just finished reading Chris’ s book Choose to Lose and am ready to start on Monday.
You both are so motivating. Thank u
wouldn’t state vary according to the brand of protein used?
It might vary a bit from brand to brand. 🙂
This recipe looks amazing! How long do they keep for once prepared?
They don’t keep for long… because everyone will eat them. 🙂 But you can freeze them if you’d like to make them last longer than a day or two.
I was wondering if this would work with plain carrots?
Another reader mentioned that they pureed fresh carrots and it worked like a charm. 🙂
I’m not a big fan of carrots in baking. Do you think that I could use zucchini instead?
Oh yummy idea! I believe you could! Let us know how they turn out. 🙂
Looks awesome ! Thanks for recipe ! I hope that more people will comment 😀 ! Thanks for your posts ! 😀
Where do you get oat flour? Thanks!
Most supermarkets carry it these days. Check in the health food section.
Can these be enjoyed on a HC day? if so, how?
They’re better for a reward day if you’re Carb Cycling but they’re great for the rest of the family on any day. 🙂
Did I read this right 75 G of Fat in the carrot cake protein bars? that equals to 20 weight watcher points for one bar
.75 grams 🙂 as in 3/4 of a gram. 75 grams of fat would never make it in my recipe box. 🙂
