Low sugar cookies or other yummy things for diabetics - recipes needed

(1/4) > >>

Eco Ellen:
Does anybody have any tried-and-true recipes that are good for diabetics?  Specifically I would like desserts or cookies or other yummy things.  Thanks.

Eco Ellen:
Here's one that looks decent.  I would do cashews instead of walnuts because of allergy.  Also when they say "regular oats" which do they mean?  I have "old fashioned" oats in the cabinet.

Yes... 

The only difference between old fashioned oats and the rolled oats is the how much they have been ground, old fashioned oats are a bit bigger, if I'm remembering right. 

And who knows what they mean by "regular" :D 

I make a similar recipe with oats and it's fine.  I use yogurt instead of oil, but that's about the only difference.  They will be a bit denser than a traditional muffin, but tasty.
