Mrs P is now making courgette baked french fries from H and H - coating lots of courgette french fries individually in a mixture to crisp the outside is taking a very long time. May be easier for her for me to just eat lots of carbs or go back to the early days of me cooking and eating my own mealsThe proof will be whether mine are too soft in the middle but if so I will do them in a flat tin as you did. I am hoping my FBG tomo allows me to eat one!
Now there's a thought. I could use some of the courgette glut to make a cake!Thanks @DCUKMod - that’s helpful
Update on the baking front. @shelley262 I’ve identified a new section for the recipe guide: the idiots/beginners guide for those of us who weren’t bakers/cooks pre low carb.
Now have something approximating high fibre chocolate bars in the fridge, but doubt they bear any resemblance to those originally produced by @ianpspurs . First attempt at caramel resulted in smoke filled kitchen (which in my place means smoke filled flat) followed by rapid googling for help. Not sure second attempt was actually caramel, but wasn’t up for a third go.
However, half size lemon zucchini cake in small loaf tin appears to have been successful.
Reports on both tonight.

Yes to the 2 lots of inulin. The flaxseed for the bars is mixed before hand 3 tbls to 1 heaped tsp inulin and left in a jar in a dark cupboard - it goes crunchy like crumbled digestive. That mixture goes into a big bowl and the warm inulin/butter/erith then mixed in. The flaxseed never goes into the inulin mixture - the wet goes into the dry and is stirred well. That lot cools a little but would and does make flapjack at that stage. If you want the chocky bars you then add the melted chocolate.
Hatsoff to Mrs P hope they are worth the effort. I am sure she goes to these lengths to keep you healthy and its really nice she joins in. Thats the reason I dont eat till 8pm with my husband each day, he’s out of the house 13/14 hours and its nice for us to eat at the same time though different dishes mind! It doesnt help my FBG I’m sure but there is a semblance of normal life to be acknowledged.Mrs P is now making courgette baked french fries from H and H - coating lots of courgette french fries individually in a mixture to crisp the outside is taking a very long time.

With birthday party May be a few days will see how goesRight! I think I’m starting to get it now. Still dont understand the reference to lava lamps but I’m assuming its not pivotal so I will have another bash at this in a day or 2 - maybe using 1/2 quantities just in case, and I might wait to see if @shelley262 makes a successful batch with less eryth.
Thanks for your ( and Mrs P’s) patience with my questions.
The amount of football we watch it probably does!Yes, but does it get Sky Sport?
10g - just over 1g sugars and 2.3g fibre. 88 calories per slice. I'm fine with one slice - 2 sends the BGs up. It's nice tasted and I just make sure I only have very low carb items with it. Handy when I can't be bothered making a lower carb version.Tesco high protein bread...Wow! What is the carb content?
Monk Fruit makes good caramel but that is pricey too. Cheapest I've found it is £8.99 a pack for the Lakanto golden classic.Just tried one. Not bad - a bit on the sweet side even though I used 100% chocolate drops. Think the erythritol will need reducing. Slight caramel taste coming through but no chewy toffee like texture. Pic attached with a bonus pic especially for @ianpspurs
Any tips on the making caramel front would be welcome.

You still have to stand over it and keep stirring and watch it like a gaek.Looks good looks like monk fruit may be the answer
