Diabetic friendly cookies/desserts recipes?

Looking for some recipes for cookies, cakes or other desserts that are diabetic friendly...

hopefully, not using splenda, equal and all those other sweeteners....

any ideas? Thanks!

I think there is some kind of natural thing you can use to sweeten things- agave or something like that?

and you can also use stevia which is a natural herb- they sell it in sugar-like packets at health food stores, my grandma uses it in things all the time

Strawberry Pineapple Cheese Cake
Graham Cracker Crust:
1 1/4 cup graham cracker crumbs
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter

Blend and press into 9-inch pie pan, set aside.

Filling: (this recipe can be doubled):
1 (8 3/4 ounce) can sugar-free pineapple, crushed
1 package sugar-free strawberry gelatin
1 1/4 cups boiling water
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon grated orange rind
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour cream

Drain pineapple; save juice.

Dissolve strawberry gelatin in 1 1/4 cups boiling water. Add pineapple juice. Cool slightly.

Cream cheese, orange rind and vanilla extract together. Add 1/2 cup gelatin and half of the pineapple. When soft and creamy, add remaining gelatin mixture. Blend in sour cream. Pour into pie shell. Cool until set, then put remaining pineapple on top. Chill until firm.

NOTE: Lemon can also be used.
