Default Low sugar & gluten free treats?

DH is having some health problems and the doc says NO MORE GLUTEN for him (poor guy) and he also needs to cut back on his sugar intake.

He's got a sweet tooth, so I thought maybe I could find some recipes for cookies that are wheat-free and that are sweetened with things like raisins and/or applesauce. (Natural fruit sugars should be okay) DH loathes sucralose and aspartame so artificial sweeteners are out. Honey is borderline and should be used sparingly. Stevia MIGHT work, haven't tried that yet. (We used to grow stevia so DH is okay with that being used.)

I'm thinking oatmeal cookies? Any other ideas? He loves dark chocolate so maybe some sort of flourless, no-sugar brownie would work?

He likes pretty much every kind of fruit but his real love is sticky sugary pastries, which is totally off limits now.

I looked some stuff up on Allrecipes.com but there's just so much! I'm hoping someone here will have a gem of a recipe to get me started.

Thanks!
