Low sugar/diabetic friendly desserts?

My friend wants low-sugar baked goods, so I am looking to prepare some for them. They do not have diabetes, but I am attempting to limit the amount of sugar. Are there any recipes that come to mind? I am open to any recommendations.

Try these recipes for low-sugar baked goods:

Whole Wheat Banana Bread
Almond Flour Muffins
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Roasted Vegetable Tart

Use natural sweeteners like ripe bananas, raisins, and roasted veggies to reduce added sugar.

I like a Swedish thumbprint cookie with sugar-free cream cheese and jam. The jam is what makes the dough sweet; it doesn’t have any sugar in it.

When my friend wanted low-sugar baked goods, I experimented with a few recipes that turned out great. A fantastic option is Low-Sugar Banana Bread made with mashed bananas, coconut oil or applesauce, honey or maple syrup, eggs, vanilla, baking soda, salt, and whole wheat flour, optionally adding nuts or dark chocolate chips.

Another favorite is Oatmeal Cookies with Raisins and Nuts, combining applesauce, honey or maple syrup, coconut oil, egg, vanilla, oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, raisins, and nuts. Lastly, Low-Sugar Blueberry Muffins made with whole wheat flour, baking powder, salt, honey or maple syrup, almond milk, coconut oil, egg, vanilla, and blueberries are a hit. These recipes are delicious and satisfy the craving for baked goods without overloading on sugar. Enjoy baking for your friend!

Baked goods made with whole wheat flour, almond flour, or other low-GI ingredients and less added sugar are fine for diabetics. Some good choices are sugar-free carrot cake, keto chocolate cake, and low-carb coconut macaroons.

To be really honest, my favorite thing to do is simply receive berries with whipped cream.

Here are some diabetes-friendly dessert options:

  • Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Bites: Low in sugar, satisfying, recipe available.
  • Gluten-Free Chocolate Avocado Muffins: Unique, tasty, and diabetes-friendly, recipe available.
  • Peanut Butter Fruit Dip: Delicious dip for fresh fruit, recipe available.

Hi SweetCrumbs the best desert for your friend would be:

  • graham crackers with nut butter.
  • angel food cake.
  • chia seed pudding.
  • low sugar avocado mousse.
  • frozen yogurt bites made with plain Greek yogurt and berries.
  • mixed berries and homemade whipped cream (with no sugar added)
  • low sugar brownies.
