Notes
Makes 12 flapjacks @ 3x1.5 inch weighing 30-35 grams.
Net carbs: 2.7 g per bar.
If you use 90% dark chocolate, the nutrition values stay the same. With 85% dark chocolate, net carbs increase to 3g per bar.
Variations: Add 1 teaspoon cinnamon or swap out the chocolate for dried cranberries or freeze-dried raspberries for a fruity variation.
Optional chocolate drizzle: Melt either ¼ cup of sugar free chocolate chips or 4 squares of dark chocolate (85% or 90% cocoa solids) and drizzle over the bars.
Storage: Airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days or in the fridge for about 1 week. Suitable for freezing.
It does not matter whether you measure the nuts whole or chopped when using cups - the volume is similar.
