Baking tips:
- Xylitol is a lot sweeter than normal sugar, so you will want to use less of it. We tend to use 1/4 cup Xylitol to 1 cup of normal sugar. However, this depends on how sweet you like things.
- It is best to mill the Xylitol into a powder, as this allows it to dissolve better. You can do this using a blender.
