Mix ingredients in the following order. Take one package of Wasa Rye crackers and grind into a fine powder. In a large bowl add 1 cup of wasa rye flower, ¼ cup ground flax seed, 1 cup xylitol, 1 cup dates fine chopped, 1 banana, 1 tsp. baking soda, 2 eggs, 1 cup hot water, and mix all together in a greased baking dish.

Bake in oven at 350 for approx. 20 min. (depends on thickness). You can also add walnuts and other spices like cinnamon. You can also make a cream frosting by mixing 4 tbs. of pure maple syrup ½ tsp. lime juice to 6-8 oz. of cream cheese.

Take a whole pumpkin, peel and cut into chunks. Steam until soft, then strain out as much water as possible while mashing pumpkin. Add 4 cups of mashed pumpkin in a bowl with 8 eggs, 2 cans of condensed milk, 1 cup xylitol, 1 tsp. salt, approx 2 tsp. pumpkin pie spice mix or spice to taste, and mix together. Take and mix in blender until thoroughly mixed. Pre bake pie plate in oven at 425 for 5 min or until pie crust just starts to rise, then take from oven and pour in pumpkin mix until level with top of pie crust.

Bake at 425 for first 15 min. then turn temp. down to 360 for remainder of cooking time. (total time depends on oven and altitude, approx 45min. to 1 hr.) When you can put a knife in the pie and it comes out clean the pie is done.

Making the whip cream is simple. Just take a carton of heavy whipping cream, xylitol and a little vanilla extract, mix together. You can add more xylitol and continue whipping if you want it a little sweeter. After completely whipping let stand for approx 15 min. for all the xylitol crystal to dissolve. Perfect for the holidays!

With a beverage hand mixer or in a jar with a lid, mix/shake all the ingredients until well blended. Pour into a small saucepan and simmer on medium heat for five minutes. Pour into two small mugs. "Never serve it so hot that it hurts your tongue!"

Chopped walnuts, sliced almonds, chopped dates, raisins, unsweetened coconut, unsalted sunflower seeds, etc..
