Low Carb Butterscotch Bars
Hints of cinnamon, brown sugar, maple, and butterscotch meld together creating a dichotomy of simple yet complex flavors. Coconut gives this bar an “oatmeal” feel, making it an all around delicious low carb treat! Not too sweet, yet just sweet enough these, bars are perfect for breakfast, dessert, or as a mid-morning snack.
