Oats Ladoo, with the goodness of oats and richness of ghee, nuts, and a little touch of natural sweetness, is truly a healthy and yummy Indian sweet. These nutritious, bite-sized treats are perfect for satisfying your sweet tooth while providing a good source of fibre and energy. Oats ladoo is an ideal snack for those who want to indulge without guilt. The oats ladoo recipe starts with roasting oats in a pan until golden brown and fragrant. Oats are then powdered into a coarse texture. Ghee is melted in the same pan, and nuts such as cashews, almonds, or pistachios are added for crunch and flavour. Jaggery, sugar, and cardamom powder give it a subtle, aromatic taste. The roasted oats and nuts are mixed with the ghee and sweetener, and everything is kneaded until it comes together in dough form. Once the mixture is cooled, it's shaped into small round balls, or ladoos, by hand. These healthy sweets can be served as a snack, a quick breakfast, or an energy-boosting pickup after exercise. The oats ladoo recipe is easy to customise by adding dry fruits, seeds, or coconut for texture and flavour. With wholesome ingredients and a pleasing taste, oats ladoo strikes the health-indulgence balance perfectly, which is why this dish is unique.

FAQs

Can I use instant oats instead of rolled oats for oats ladoo?

Yes, you can use instant oats instead of rolled oats, though the texture might differ slightly. Rolled oats are thicker and give a more chewy and hearty texture to the ladoos. Instant oats are finer and may result in a smoother ladoo. To ensure that ladoos hold well, lightly roast the instant oats in ghee before adding them to the mixture. You might also require making some adjustments about the use of milk or ghee for binding purposes.

Is it possible to substitute jaggery with sugar or another sweetener in oats ladoo?

Yes, but you can replace jaggery with sugar, brown sugar, or even maple syrup. If made with sugar, melt it in ghee like the jaggery. But better choices would be stevia, and these may also influence the texture; however, adding some extra ghee and milk will help you adjust the consistency of the mixture.

How long do oats ladoos stay fresh, and how should they be stored?

The oats ladoos are fresh when kept in an airtight container at room temperature for 4-5 days. If you need to keep it for more days, the best option is to refrigerate it for as long as 2 weeks; just let it reach room temperature before serving the same. Also, ensure they can cool completely before being kept to avoid condensation that makes them soggy.
