These baked goods represent a modified iteration of a classic confection. The original, a commercially produced sandwich cookie, features two soft oatmeal cookies held together by a sweet, creamy filling. The variant under consideration aims to replicate the textural and flavor profile of the original, but with a significant reduction or complete absence of added sugars. Sweetness is often achieved through the utilization of sugar substitutes such as erythritol, stevia, or monk fruit.
The appeal of this product lies in its potential to cater to individuals managing dietary restrictions related to sugar intake. This includes, but is not limited to, those diagnosed with diabetes, individuals pursuing weight management strategies, or consumers seeking to reduce their overall sugar consumption for health-conscious reasons. Historically, the availability of palatable sugar-free alternatives to popular desserts has been limited, thus contributing to the demand for options that can satisfy cravings without compromising dietary goals.
