How long did you bake them for, PilotGal? They look amazing!!
When in doubt, I'd frost them just before the picnic, to be on the safe side.. but, for future reference, you could always put a frosted one in the freezer on that day and check it out the next day?

here is what mine ended up looking like...i used 1/2 splenda and 1/4 sf vanilla syrup and 1/4 sf almond syrup.....I also added in some pumpkin pie spice as we love spice....
I did not add in the nuts to help with the carb count and used maple extract for the icing with 1 splenda and the rest sf vanilla syrup to desired sweetness....it is so moist...we love it
This sounds fantastic! I'm thinking of halving the recipe, because I'm afraid I'd go through them too quickly. I think I have all the ingredients at home - yum!
Saw this recipe and had to make it, even though it's 90 degrees here and I don't have air conditioning but it was worth it I can't believe these are low carb,kind of fell guilty eating them. The only things I changed was I used erythritol instead of splenda and I used half coconut flour. Worth sweating my butt off for.
dmarie, I'm so glad to see you used coconut flour. I was just thinking I wanted to try that to dry them up a bit as mine were always wet! I've also got powdered egg white that I'm thinking of. How did it work with coconut flour?
It was my first time using it and they were good but I did use 2 extra eggs and sorry to say they still were a little wet, I think time I'll use less oil.
I can't do dairy, so I used equal amounts of butter and coconut milk with sf syrup to taste and it worked beautifully, though the bars are quite yummy without any frosting at all!
