Almond Flour Date Cookie Dough Bars has a low glycemic load of 9.0 per serving — minimal blood sugar impact — suitable for most people managing diabetes or blood sugar levels.
The primary glycemic load contributors are medjool dates, pitted (GL 5.3), dark chocolate chips (60-70% cacao) (GL 2.8), almond flour (blanched) (GL 0.9). These ingredients account for the majority of the carbohydrate impact per serving.
Glycemic load is calculated as GL = (GI × Net Carbs per serving) ÷ 100, where GI is the glycemic index and net carbs exclude dietary fiber. Calculations draw on established nutritional references including USDA FoodData Central values and peer-reviewed glycemic index research.
