Love it!! I know whats going into the bar, and I can control the sugar amount. In this case: none!

After cooling in the pan, I cut into 9 bars, wrapped them up and put them in the fridge so they last for the week. If you try these let me know how they come out!

Love this. Will be trying soon. I made lo-carb crepes last night. Whoa, buddy. Also made them for the family & put jelly on top of theirs! My son said, "Mom, these are as good as IHOP!" Guess he couldn't tell they were healthy!

Can you post your crepe recipe? I'd love to have it.

This looks really good. I want to try it as soon as I have some pumpkin.

what brand of protein powder did you use?

sounds good!! About how much Stevia did you use?? I am new to cooking w/it..thanks!

1/4 of a cup

I used some brand from my local grocery store, nothing fancy when it comes to protein powder as long as it was vanilla.
