Oats Laddu Recipe | Healthy No Sugar Dry Fruits Oats Ladoo with step-by-step photo and video recipe. Laddu and Barfi recipes are common and popular dessert recipes from Indian cuisine. These are generally made with the same set of ingredients making it an ideal sweet snack for various occasions and celebrations. Yet there are other unconventional ingredients and oats are one such ingredient to make a healthy Oats Laddu Recipe.
As I explained earlier, oats are not a traditional ingredient in Indian cuisine. It is believed to originated from Europe and was mainly consumed by animals and peasants. Since its inception, it has undergone a lot of changes and variations to its original shape and taste. It has also been influenced in many cuisines and Indian cuisine has embraced it gracefully. Initially, it was treated as a semolina or wheat alternative to make upma, khichdi, or dosa. But it has entered into sweets and dessert recipes too. One such classical recipe is the oats laddu mixed with dry fruits and sesame. It has the same texture as dry fruits laddu but has its own unique and pleasant taste. Do try this and I am certain that it would be appreciated.
Furthermore, some more important and mandatory tips, suggestions, and variations to the Oats Laddu Recipe. Firstly, in this recipe, I have used a combination of mixed nuts, coconut and sesame. Using these both makes it special but not mandatory. Do not skip both, as it may taste dull. Secondly, I have used jaggery and dates as a binding agent. Alternatively, you can add sugar syrup for the same purpose, but you may not get the same color and texture. Lastly, for the sweetness, I have added both jaggery and date paste for a medium sweetness. If you wish to skip jaggery and keep only dates, you are more than welcome to do it.
