Pyinstaller - Flask template not found "bootstrap/base.html"

I am trying to make a distributable of a flask application. Everything works fine when running locally. When an executable is generated with pyinstaller it gives me the error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "site-packages\flask\app.py", line 2446, in wsgi_app

  File "site-packages\flask\app.py", line 1951, in full_dispatch_request
  File "site-packages\flask\app.py", line 1820, in handle_user_exception

  File "site-packages\flask\templating.py", line 120, in _render
jinja2.exceptions.TemplateNotFound: bootstrap/base.html

I am using the flask bootstrap as shown here.

create a new python file named 'hook-flask_bootstrap.py', inside of this paste the following:

from PyInstaller.utils.hooks import collect_data_files
datas = collect_data_files('flask_bootstrap')

Now when you run pyinstaller provide the path to this 'hook-flask_bootstrap.py' file:

--additional-hooks-dir=PATH (If relative path, just use .)
