Healthy Sugar-Free Powdered Sugar

Ingredients

  • 1½ cups xylitol or erythritol
  • 1 Tbsp cornstarch or arrowroot; optional, but makes the final product more like processed powdered sugar.

Instructions

  1. Place the sweetener and either cornstarch or arrowroot into your blender or food processor.
  2. Blend on high continuously until the mixture is of uniform powdered consistency. In a high-powered blender, this should only take about 30 seconds.
