I tried this today. It was great hot, better cooled off! I put butter on mine. It would be good with whipped cream or cream cheese frosting, too.

Pumpkin Nut Bread

48 drops ZERO (or 1 cup xylitol)
2 eggs

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder (I used a mixture of ginger, cardamom, cloves, ground fennel, pinch cayenne pepper - and didn't measure - prob 1/8 t ea. I'll put a recipe for Chinese 5-spice powder below)

7.Pour batter into the prepared loaf pan.
8.Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour.
