Oats dry fruits ladoo recipe
One can understand my love for easy ladoo recipes here,though not all are low fat Indian sweet recipes. I keep experimenting often since they are the easiest to make and can never fail. Any kind of ladoos I make don’t even last for a couple of days and I feel happy seeing the jars empty.
It was a few months ago my kids ran into unknown severe allergies and were sick for a very long time, after eating a lot of store bought junk. Since then we kicked out all the junk that we used to buy home. This made me try out more healthy sweets and snacks for kids, which I will be sharing.
The recipe iam sharing today, is free from any added sweeteners, the sweetness comes from the dry fruits and one cannot make out the taste of oats in it. They taste best the next day.
To make oats dry fruits ladoo, I used organic oats and mixed dried fruits and a very small amount of nuts. I have also used cornflakes to give a crunchy touch and a very small quantity of rock sugar since my kids love them. If you are looking for healthy sugar free sweets then you can skip them.
You can very well alter the ingredients and use sesame seeds, peanuts or you can just skip all the dried fruits and just use dates and make oats and dates ladoo.
I used a very small amount of dates and the major portion was from figs. You can use dried fruits in any proportions but the total quantity is suggested to be as mentioned in the recipe for a good binding.
Most dried fruits come with harmful preservatives like sulphur dioxide usually mentioned as E220, and many go unmentioned on the packs. So if possible buy preservative free dried fruits, these are different from organic dried fruits.

I tried the oats dry fruits laddo this Diwali. It came out well and was liked by all.
However, I had to use a little ghee to make the laddoos but still it was a low-fat and guilt-free one.
Thanks..:). Hope you had a great Diwali 🙂

Welcome Shubs
Yes had a good time celebrating Diwali. Thank you.
So happy to know these ladoo turned out good. Probably the moisture in the dry fruits matter for the binding. Next time if you prefer to avoid ghee, try adding more dry fruits especially soft dates.
thanks again. Have a good day.
🙂
