Hello,
I am going to see a friend who “can have a little sugar” and loves desserts. Do you have any tried and true recipes to share? I would like to bake her something and am hoping for cookies or a bundt cake or something similarly easy to walk over to her. Thank you!
Does this individual like fruit??
Maybe an apple quick bread??
Not too sweet, low in sugar and easily transportable…
I made this honey cake for a low sugar group that i attended.
maybe cheesecake squares?
if the low in sugar is due to avoiding spiking sugar levels, it might be a better bet to go with something that also contains protein and fat, to temper the sugar spike.
Maybe some sort of fruit cheesecake bar like this. I have made similar bars in the past but I don’t follow a specific recipe.

I have my eye on some rhubarb custard desserts and squares right now but I haven’t made any yet.
I know someone who makes cheesecake with jackfruit due to his diabetes. I haven’t found a sugar substitute dessert I like.
honey is dense, 80% sugar, and that recipe has a cup and a third - not my definition of low sugar but I’m not in your group
@Jeepyland cookies like shortbread and biscotti tend to have less sugar than others and the advantage of cookies is you can make them small for easy portion control.
Not baked but what about chocolate covered strawberries?
With a few cookies or biscotti to bake something with different texture
Blueberry scones
That looks promising! Do you have a recipe to share by chance?
Good idea! And I love cheesecake, so we’ll both be happy.
I used the “Sweet” version of the attached recipe. I used 1 cup of brown sugar (instead of 1.5 cups) and 1 teaspoon of cinnamon. I got my apples from my neighbor’s tree (Dorsett Golden). They are a small apple, so I peeled and diced what I thought was enough (maybe 2 cups?? - hard to say) - I just eye balled what I thought was a good amount of diced apple.

Sorry I can’t be more exact, a lot of my creations are a “play it by ear” thing and see what happens.
