    Turmeric and Oats Energy Balls Laddu

    What made me create this healthy no cook, no bake Turmeric and Oats Energy Balls?

    Well clearly my inspiration for these laddus or balls are Haldi wala Dhoodh or say Golden Milk.

    But let me tell you growing up as a kid; I used to hate haldiwala dhoodh. But all mums back in India knows the best home remedy for cough is this magic concotion. But kids are kids who could explain them right.

    So I wanted to create something that kids would like to try out; what better than a laddu??

    Turmeric and Oats Energy Balls Laddu

    When I was pregnant; my midwife asked me to eat iron enriched food to compensate the loss of blood.

    Being a vegetarian my main source of iron included the green leafy vegetables which I absolutely love and also the other good source is dates right which I am not a big fan of.

    My husband asked me to eat atleast one per day; which I never did.. πŸ˜› But yeah now I am wondering why didn't I come up with this recipe then. This is such a wonderful laddu with so many health benefits.

    Anyways if not me then I will be happy if you could benefit from this.

    Turmeric and Oats Energy Balls Laddu

    I cannot stress how healthy these energy balls or laddus are!!

    These include oats which are incredibly nutritious. These are rich in fibre, antioxidants and also helps in lowering cholesterol level. Good source of iron.

    Turmeric is an amazing antioxidant, has anti-inflammatory properties and let me not get started with its medicinal values. From ancient times Turmeric in all form is used for health and beauty purposes back in India.

    Almonds, Walnuts are iron fortified and also is a good source of minerals.

    In a nut shell, these Turmeric and Oats Energy Balls are

    Healthy

    Vegan

    Gluten Free

    Iron Fortified

    Fibre Enriched

    Anti- Inflammatory

    and the bonus part it is really quick and easy to make.

    Turmeric and Oats Energy Balls Laddu

    All you have to do to make these balls is gather all the ingredients in the blender and blitz everything until it comes together, then make small balls out of it. Store in an air tight container and enjoy.. πŸ˜€ So simple ain't it?

    These turmeric and oats energy balls have a coarse texture as I ground the ingredients coarsely; I like to get a bite of almonds and walnuts now and then.

    Yes they tend to stick a little bit to your mouth and that is due to the use of dates. You know how dates taste like!!

    But in all these are really an energy bomb which is not too sweet unlike the regular laddus and is packed with the goodness of whole nuts and turmeric.

    Enjoy these Turmeric and Oats Energy Balls along with your breakfast or in the mid morning snack or after your lunch; infact any time of the day.. :P.. And yes definitely give this to your kids for the chota bhuk πŸ˜‰

    As always if you try this recipe then please do tag me, tweet me or instagram me I would love to see your creations.

        Hello kavita.. I am glad that you liked it.. Thanks..

        Yes you can skip coconut and substitute with any other nuts of your choice. There is no need to dry roast the ingredients but if you do not like raw oats or turmeric then you can dry roast it until fragrant, let it cool and then pulse together. Yes dates helps in making the balls.

        Hope this helps.. Thank you

        Hi Spandana..

        I have used old fashioned oats here but any kind of oats should work for this recipe. However the texture will change with the variety of oats used like for example if you are using steel cut oats it may become a little on the chewier side.

        Hope this helps.. Thank you.. πŸ™‚

        Hey Abha..

        There is no need to roast as such. We like it as it is. But if you are not fond of raw oats or do not wish to eat it raw then you can dry roast the oats, turmeric and nuts until fragnant. allow it to cool and then pulse it and follow the recipe.

        Thank you.. πŸ™‚

        Hi sarika.. In that case you can dry roast the nuts, oats and turmeric powder for a minute or two and then grind to a coarse powder and follow the recipe.. Hope this helps.. Thank you πŸ™‚
