Hi Sandi, so glad you are enjoying my recipes and flour! It does my heart good to know they’re being put to good use!
With this particular reader recipe, it’s harder for me to speculate on sugar subs since I didn’t write the recipe and it does call for a lot of sugar. Xylitol doesn’t work as a perfect sub in baking, particularly in recipes calling for this much sugar. Can you use Baking Stevia? That might work better here. Or unrefined coconut palm sugar would probably be a seamless conversion. Can you use either of those?

Hi Jules,
I so appreciate your wonderful recipes and your lovely flour blend.
I am so excited to be able to make some of my old family recipes now.
I was wondering if it would alter the outcome of the bread if I used Xylitol in place of sugar in the bread as I am to have no sugar.
Thank you.

My grand-kids can not do flax. I use Ener-g egg re-placer and the first try in a loaf pan came out gummy, second try as muffins also came out gummy (not as gummy as the first time) The third time I used 1 T egg re-placer with 1/4 cup warm water, reduced the coconut milk (Silk) to 1/2 cup and did not melt the coconut oil (LuAnn). I also cut down on the sugar/cinnamon mixture to 1/4 cup Success!!!!

Great recipe notes, Alexis! I love the idea of making them as muffins to speed things up! I’m always running behind, so that’s a great suggestion!

I’ve made this recipe a couple of times and it’s a big hit with my family. To speed up the process this morning, I made 12 muffins with the batter. I put one scoop of batter, then cinammon/Truvia (stevia) mix, then some more batter. I did not put the cinammon mixture on top because it burned the first time I made the bread….could have been the Truvia. It only took about 30 minutes and I actually liked it better this way. I used skim milk, canola oil, and regular sugar in the batter. For the topping, I used 2 teaspoons of Vietnamese cinnamon and 6 Truvia. Next time, I might cut the Truvia down to 4 packets. I thought it was a little bit too sweet. Thanks for all the great recipes.
