I assume the flour goes in also….I'm going to try them..sounds delicious ❤
I’m hooked on your content, and I’d love to help you share even more of it! As a professional video editor and thumbnail designer, I can manage all the behind-the-scenes work. Could we schedule a 10-minute chat tomorrow?
Love it!! I love vainilla extract but I think that this time when I am making these bars I am going to keep only the lemon flavor and may be try with limes instead of lemons. Thank you
Can I skyp the white chocolate??
I made these this morning, absolutely delicious! I added some raspberries for some extra fibre and it was a great addition. Keep these recipes coming😊
Can I make these without any chocolate?
It looks delicious! Can I replace the almondflower to coconutflower?
Has anyone tried to make this carnivore?
I am going to try this with vegan cottage cheese and omit the chocolate because I cannot have dairy–hope it works out.
Just off topic, I like the paint color on your walls and would love it for my living room. It does not look like beige, but resembles a vintage bronze. What is the name of the color?
Thay sound great! Bet they'd be even tastier with coconut flour 🤔
I'm very tempted to make these soon!
Pre-rub the zest into the sugar for more flavor.
I love it! Trying them this week. I've been trying to find a healthy sweet for my roommate. A bit of sugar, but thankfully, not all the chemical garbage. Thank you!
I want to know how you got your Sansivera to grow that big!!!
Can't wait to try this!!
Yum!❤
Could I substitute the white chocolate with something else?
Drain the cottage cheese?
NO WHEY!
😆
I too like lemon. So I have to give these a try. Thanks.
YUK you are obsessed with eggs
Just subscribed because of this video thanks for putting the recipe in the description ❤
