As someone with a strong SWEET TOOTH, it was difficult to find out that I am no longer allowed to eat granulated sugars/processed foods... but I've been having fun creating recipes using NATURAL sugars like Agave Nectar, Honey, and Coconut Sugars. Most recipes can be adapted for a gluten-free diet as well.

Fruity Oatmeal Bars
What you need:
3/4 cup butter or margarine, melted slightly
1/2 cup date sugar (or you can use granulated sugar if you prefer)
1 cup oats
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 - 1/2 cups flour (I use unbleached/unenriched organic flour)
2 tsp. vanilla
1 small jar of your favorite fruit spread - you'll need about 3/4 cup (I used naturally sweetened blueberry above)
What to do:
Mix together the melted butter and the sugar until well combined. Add the vanilla. Stir in the flour, oats and baking soda until mixture is crumbly. Press mixture in bottom of a greased 9 inch baking pan - reserving some for topping. Spread favorite fruit preserves (3/4 cup or use your judgment). Sprinkle with remaining crumb topping.
Bake at 350 F for 24 minutes. Cool and cut into bars.
