  2. Love the sound of this but hate to have to look up to convert some measurements and temps. I’m gonna try but if it doesn’t turn out I’ll have a good idea why

    I live in Australia, I’m always having to convert recipes, never seem to have any prob doing so, it just takes a few more minutes. So having one recipe I don’t have to convert, is great. Thanks Fast Paleo!

  5. Hi! Is the xylitol meant for use as a dry or wet ingredient? I’m tossing up whether to use a powdered or “gel” based sweetener… Maybe xylitol but whatever is in the supermarket/ my cupboard (stevia powder, maple syrup, natvia?)…? Thanks, and by the way I can’t wait to make this!!
