Ingredients

▢ 1 cup dates soaked in water
▢ Â½ cup of mixed nuts almonds and cashew nuts
▢ Â¾ cup oats

Instructions

▢
Soak the dates in water (just enough to dip the dates) for 20-30 minutes. Remove the seeds and grind it to a fine paste using minimal water. You may use the water in which the dates were soaked. Ensure the paste is not runny. It has to be thick.
▢
Dry roast the oats in a heated pan for a minute. Mix it well in between. Put off the flame. Grind the oats to a fine powder.
▢
Dry roast the nuts in a heated pan for a for a few seconds (around 10 seconds) Powder these to a fine powder in a blender. Some coarse pieces of the nuts may remain â€“ this is fine as it lends an endearing crunch to the laddoos.
▢
Transfer the powdered oats and nuts to a wide pan. When these are warm, add half of the dateâ€™s paste, slowly, to bind the mixture. Mix well. Check the consistency of the mixture. You may need to add more of the paste, to form a granular mixture.
▢
When granules start forming, it indicates that the amount of dateâ€™s paste is just enough. Start making small balls of this mixture with your palm and place it in a tray or plate. I made 10 laddoos.
▢
Based on the cup size, the quantity of laddoos may vary. In case, some amount of the dateâ€™s paste remains â€“ donâ€™t worry. Just savor, some spoonfulâ€™s of this deliciously sweet paste as a pudding.
▢
Store the laddoos, in an airtight tin. These remain fresh for up to, two days. If you would like to store it for more than 2 days, keep it in the refrigerator. Savor these healthy energy bites to boost your mornings, or anytime during the day!
