Dates

This is significant, as dietary fiber helps your body absorb carbs at a slower pace, which is especially important for people living with diabetes. The slower carbs are digested, the less likely your blood sugar will spike after eating. Dates boast an impressive nutrient profile but are quite sweet. Yet, they’re packed with fiber, which helps your body absorb its sugars more slowly. When eaten in moderation, they’re a safe and nutritious choice for people living with diabetes. Dates have a low GI, which means they’re less likely to spike your blood sugar levels, making them a wholesome choice for people with diabetes.  Source

Oats

Studies show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and a reduced risk of heart disease. Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth. They’re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.  Source

Coconut oil

These cookies are absolutely gluten free and vegan. Used coconut oil instead of butter.

Almond

Almonds will give a nutty flavour. And make your cookies more nutritious. Nuts are low in carbs but high in healthy fats, protein, and fiber. This makes them a perfect choice for people with diabetes. Almonds are high in antioxidants, vitamin E, protein, and fiber. Almonds may have health benefits, including supporting heart health and reducing blood pressure, among others.  Source

Desiccated coconut will give a wonderful taste.

Baking powder and soda used to make the cookies light and airy.
