This actually looks so good! I personally would probably just add sugar instead of xylitol just because I’m not really a fan of the taste of sweeteners but I could try it and see how it goes in this. I think it would taste amazing warm with a little butter 🙂

What is Xylitol? Is it a form of sugar?
