    21 Low-Calorie Desserts For Diabetes - Yahoo

    Enjoy a flavorful, low-calorie dessert by making one of these delicious recipes. You might wonder if it's OK to eat sugar, flour and other refined grains when you have diabetes. We believe all foods can fit into a diabetes-friendly eating pattern, including small amounts of sugar, as long as they're enjoyed in moderation.

    To help make them more diabetes-friendly, these dishes include complex carbohydrates like fruits and whole grains to help slow down the absorption of foods like sugar and white flour. Slower absorption helps keep blood sugar more stable.

    Not only is each dessert under 225 calories per serving, but they also are made with sodium-conscious ingredients, low amounts of saturated fats and servings of carbohydrates that meet our nutrition parameters for a diabetes-friendly eating pattern.

    Recipes like our Lemon-Blueberry Nice Cream and Air-Fryer Whole-Wheat Cinnamon Rolls are tasty ways to enjoy something sweet while still aligning with your nutrition goals.

    William Dickey

    Marzipan is typically made with almonds, but here we use walnuts to make the marzipan for these nutty cookies. The espresso flavor is delicate, but adds a nice bitterness to the cookie. If you prefer, you can brew your own espresso and use that instead of instant espresso.

    View Recipe

    Sara Haas

    If you have an apple in your refrigerator, then you're just a few steps away from a simple, delicious dessert. We like green apples for their tart flavor and firmness, but Honeycrisp, Jonagold or Braeburn apples will work too.

    5-Ingredient Chocolate-Peanut Butter Nice Cream Sandwiches

    View Recipe

    Photographer: Rachel Marek, Food stylist: Holly Dreesman

    "Nice cream" is a nondairy alternative to ice cream that uses frozen bananas whirled in a blender to achieve a creamy texture. Natural peanut butter helps keep the mixture soft and adds a nutty flavor to complement the chocolate. If the mixture becomes too loose to spread, pop it back in the freezer to let it firm up again before continuing.

    Lemon Poppy Seed Hamantaschen

    Photographer: Brie Goldman, Food Stylist: Lauren McAnelly, Prop Stylist: Holly Raibikis

    Hamantaschen are a traditional, triangular Jewish cookie served during the holiday of Purim. They can be filled with jam, poppy seed filling or chocolate, and are typically folded into a two-bite treat. This version includes poppy seeds and lemon zest and juice in the dough, and their centers are filled with puckery lemon curd. Unlike traditional hamantaschen, this recipe uses whole-grain flour for added fiber.

    Chocolate protein powder adds staying power to this tasty protein ice cream. Maple syrup lends a touch of sweetness, while peanut butter powder provides nuttiness for a flavorful sweet treat. Toppings like cacao nibs and crushed peanuts provide a satisfying crunch.

    PfeffernĂĽsse (German Spice Cookies)

    View Recipe

    William Dickey

    PfeffernĂĽsse are small spiced German cookies commonly seen during the holiday season. Translating to "pepper nut," the aromatic cookie gets its name from the pinch of pepper added to the dough—here, we use white and black pepper for a punch of flavor. The sweet orange glaze helps balance the pepperiness of the cookie's spices. Serve with a cup of warm mulled wine.

    Strawberry Shortcake

    View Recipe

    Photographer: Jen Causey, Food Stylist: Ruth Blackburn

    These light and fresh strawberry shortcakes lean on nonfat Greek-style yogurt instead of butter or cream in the shortcakes. Just a small amount of sugar and a pinch of lemon zest is all you need to bring out the flavor of fresh strawberries in this easy diabetes-friendly dessert.

    2-Ingredient Banana Bread Cookies

    Jennifer Causey

    To create these cookies, all you need are a few overripe bananas and some old-fashioned oats. When combined, they bake into soft, chewy cookies that are especially delicious when warm—and will fill your kitchen with the sweet smell of banana bread. If you're OK with just a few more ingredients, try tossing in some chocolate chips, raisins, a spoonful of peanut butter or a handful of nuts.

    Pumpkin spice meets chocolate: a match made in heaven. The hypnotizing smell that fills your kitchen when these brownies are done baking is unbeatable. If you don't have canned pumpkin puree on hand, you can make it from scratch. If you don't like pumpkin, butternut squash and sweet potato purees will work interchangeably, too. And feel free to store any extra brownies in the fridge for up to 7 days.

    Sara Haas

    Rhubarb and strawberries are signs of spring in much of the United States. Rosy rhubarb is technically a vegetable, but it's quite tart, making it a bit more at home in the sweet kitchen. Strawberries share the same season and temper rhubarb's astringency, making the duo a classic pairing.
