Wonder if you could switch out the oat fiber with psyllium husks? For less carbs??

No! Psyllium wouldn't work here, the texture would be all wrong. I'm willing to bet that coconut flour would be a good substitute

although the carbs wouldn't be reduced, they'd end up the same.

Ok, thank you. I don't have any oat fiber, but I do have psyllium husks and coconut flour. I think I'll pass on trying this recipe until I get the ingredients I need.

This looks good but I don't have liquid Splenda or packets of stevia sweetener. I do have liquid sucralose, granulated xylitol, erythritol & monk fruit (Lakanto golden), & erythritol & stevia (Pyure). How would I sub any of these for the Splenda & stevia in the recipe?

Thanks!
