Oats sesame ladoo recipe or oats peanut laddu – Healthy ladoo that go well in the snack box or as after school or evening snack. If you have a family member who do not like to eat oats, then this is a must try recipe. They taste very delicious with a great aroma of roasted sesame seeds or peanuts, cardamom and jaggery and do not have the taste of oats in them. I have used organic white sesame seeds but can be made of black sesame seeds too. Sometimes the black variety lend a bitter taste so make sure they taste good before you make these. You can also use peanuts instead of sesame seeds to make oats peanut ladoo.
I make many kinds of healthy ladoos often for the kids snack box since they can be made easily under 20 to 30 mins. These ladoos can also be served to baby/ toddlers from 1 year on wards since they have a melt in the mouth texture. These also help to prevent constipation. For more laddu recipes, you can check this collection of 31 ladoo recipes.
The natural oils in the sesame seeds or peanuts helps to bind the ladoo well without the use of any ghee.

NUTRITION
How to make oats sesame ladoo
1. Dry roast oats on a medium to low flame until lightly golden. Set these aside. Dry roast sesame seeds until they begin to smell good. If using peanuts roast until golden. Cool completely and remove the skin by rubbing them in between your palms. Cool them completely.
2. Grate jaggery or palm jaggery or coconut palm sugar. Try to use the one that is clean.
3. Add cardamom, oats and sesame or peanuts to a blender.
4. Powder finely.
5. I set aside half of the oats and sesame powder, not to over load the jar. Then added half of the powdered jaggery.
6. Run the blender. when the mixture is fresh , take small portions and roll to balls. Now add the other half of jaggery and oats sesame powder to jar. Blend well and make the balls. For the quantity i mentioned you will be able to make around 14 medium sized balls. If you have a bigger jar, you can make all in one batch.
Store them in a airtight container.

Hi Swasthi…
I tried oats laddoos…. At first the mixture was a bit dry to make laddoos… I added 2 tsp desi ghee in it and they turned out well… The taste is amazing and moreover they are healthy. I take one with my morning tea and it gives a kick start to my day. Thanks for the recipe!! I love your website and would be trying other recipes soon…
swasthi says
Hi Anureet,
Thank you so much for trying. Did you use hulled sesame? I think they are less in oil content than the unhulled seeds. Blending the mixture for a little longer will help it to bind well. So glad to know you liked the ladoos. Thanks again for being here.

Hi swasti,
Hope u r doing well…i tried this recipe and it turned out yummy nd mouth melting as u explained…but jst a doubt…my ladoos had a slight bitter taste evn though I used white sesame…is ther any chance tat I hav over/ under roasted the sesame..?
Thnk u
swasthi says
Hi Sunitha
Hope your little one has recovered from cold. unhulled sesame seeds usually taste bitter. Most white sesame is thoroughly hulled (skin removed) but if they are not properly done then they taste bitter. So as a precaution I usually wash them rubbing with both the palms. Rinse them and dry on the cloth. When they are moist, rub them vigorously with the cloth. Any left over hull comes off. Then clean them the same way we traditionally clean the rice. This way you can make sure they don’t taste bitter. I will update the same in the post. You can turn off the stove when the sesame seeds begin to smell good and stop spluttering or popping. Thanks for trying.
Sunitha says
Hi swasti,
Lovely recipe….can i use Quaker oats fr ths recipe and also will ths recipe wrk with a reduced sweetner proportion…? its difficult to get rolled oats n my place..
Thnks
swasthi says
Hi Sunitha
Yes you can use quaker oats. In this recipe jaggery is used not only for sweetening the ladoos but also for binding the ingredients. You can try using 1 cup. If the mixture doesn’t come together then add more as needed. You can also add some dates and reduce jaggery.
Sunitha says
Thnks a lot for ur quick reply…..will surely try n let u kno th results…

You are welcome. Glad to know you liked them. I used the desi variety sesame seeds probably they are more oily and also used palm jaggery. I suppose one of these made them looky shiny. Thanks for the feedback. Have a nice week ahead

Hello maam baby rice cereal is nw vry useful fr me…thank u fr sharing maam..maam cn u plz share the method of making a simple veg soup..i checked ur post also maam…cn u plz sugest a brand of rolled oats maam? I c instant hr in my place,if kno the name i cn enquir abt tat maam..
swasthi says
Hi Rathika,
I assume soup is for the baby. Steam some veggies in a cooker like we do the idli. Keep checking not to over cook them. 5 to 7 mins is just fine. Cool them and mash well. heat a pot with ghee or oil (very little). Add little grated ginger and saute quickly without burning. Add half to 3/4 cup drinking water and bring it to a rapid boil. Switch off the stove. Set aside half of this water. To the rest of the water in the pot, add the pureed veggies. Stir well. Add salt and pepper powder. If needed use the water that was set aside to thin down the soup . You can use green peas, carrot, pumpkin, lauki, potato etc. Avoid leafy greens like palak, methi now, due to the floods they will be very contaminated. Hope this helps. I do not know the brand names that are sold in India. I will check with my mum or friends and let you know.
rathika says
S maam its fr her..sud i discard the ginger before feeding?? Thank u maam..
swasthi says
Rathika if you grate young ginger finely (or make a paste) then it will almost get dissolved. If you think she cannot swallow, then you better add slices and boil the water for a while. Then discard before adding the puree.

Thanks Rafeeda
uma says
Once I made the powder – they don’t seem to stick at all. Any suggestions?
swasthi says
Hi uma
i guess you have gone wrong with the measurements. As soon as you blend them, it turns a bit oily which helps to bind. Run the blender again until the mixture turns warm. Immediately roll the mixture. If it doesnt work then add more jaggery.
