Your thermostat might be broken. You can check that it is calibrated correctly by placing an oven-safe thermometer (like this one: http://tinyurl.com/oventhermometer) inside the oven, closing the door, and setting to 350 degrees. Wait until it says the oven has finished preheating, then check the temperature on the thermometer.

But, give it a try if almond flour isn't your cup of tea. So the 1:2 ratio means 1 part coconut flour to 2 parts almond flour (or 1/2).

The xylitol should pulverize down into a fine powder very easily (if it's birch xylitol), to the same fineness of powdered sugar. It should also dissolve and mix easily with the cream cheese or butter or coconut oil..whatever you are using. Try using a clean spice grinder for the task.
