I buy my extracts at the grocery store or amazon,which ever is cheaper.My emulsions i buy at Ross Department store with the coffees and stuff.
Suzilyn if it is dry you probably cooked it too long or your oven is hotter than mine.All low carb flours have to cool completely and go in fridge to firm back up.I think its the fat content.The beanit butter cookies will do the same thing if not refrigerated.Once they come out of fridge they are perfect ;)

Many FTS baked (breads) get crumbly because they do not contain starch (the thing that has the carbs).

Like Umpa said, allowing them to cool completely before handling is a very good idea.
Sometimes, simply adding 1 or 2 whole eggs to a recipe will help too.
What you do today is what matters!

It sounds delish.  I will try it.  Could I trouble you for the banana custard recipe?  I love pudding and custard, yet it is all too high in carbs made in the standard way.  Thank you.

Hi Binky! :)

Xylitol is xylitol... Both sources are natural and provide the same thing, xylitol.

I made the banana nut muffins today and Sam absolutely loved them!  These replaced the normal birthday cake  ;) :) I really appreciate all of the recipes on this forum!

Page 398 in the FAT TO SKINNY Sugar Free Bakery book;

Banana Custard
Ingredients
   2 eggs
   1 cup unsweetened almond milk
   1 teaspoon Banana extract
   1 teaspoon Stevia
   1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Makes 4 small or 3 medium custards.

Directions
1.   Preheat your oven to 325 degrees.
2.   Put on a kettle of water to boil.
3.   Place all ingredients in your blender except for the nutmeg and process for one full minute.
4.   Pour your custard mixture into custard cups.
5.   Open your oven door and pull out a center rack ¾ quarters of the way out.
6.   Choose an oven safe baking dish with sides at least as high as the custard cups and place it on the oven rack.
7.   Place the custard cups into the baking dish.
8.   Pour hot water from your kettle into the baking dish high enough to come within ¼ inch from the top of your custard level in your custard cups.
9.   Gently slide your oven rack back into the oven being careful not to slosh water into your custard cups.
10.   Bake your custards for 45-50 minutes or until fully set. (toothpick comes out clean when inserted in the middle)
11.   Remove your baking dish from the oven and using a large slotted spoon or spatula remove your custard cups and set on a rack to cool.
12.   Serve cold or at room temp.
13.   Top with a dollop of whip cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg when serving.
  TIP- Drop 3-4 drops of yellow food coloring into the blender for a more festive color.
