cheesecake base help

I'm trying to make a low calorie cheesecake and really struggling with the base.
We have a sweet tooth so need something sweet to take the edge off now and again and have a low calorie mix for the cheesecake bit but the crunchy base is killing me.
It's just sugar, butter and carbs.
I’ve tried Quinoa flour and it tastes rank,
I've tried a thinner base and it's ok, I just would need it a little thicker. Also had no base but it's just not right.
I’m thinking of arrowroot flour next.
Do you guys have any ideas?
Open to anything at the moment.
We love cheesecake so it would be really great if I can make one.

Oats
Lower calorie biscuits e.g. malted milk or tea biscuits

Some sort of cereal, I haven't tried it but I've seen on Pinterest people using Weetabix.
I lost weight with SlimmingWorld and most of their cheesecake recipes use reduced-fat digestive or rich tea biscuits.
