Oats Jaggery Laddoo
Why I Love This Recipe
I always crave for sweets a lot; my Mom used to treat me after every 3-4 days with sheera, kheer etc. Post my marriage, I barely made any sweets to satiate my sweet cravings as I gained considerable weight during WFH. But my husband did not fail to surprise me this time as well by making healthy sweet – Oats Jaggery Laddoo. Have this sweet to beat your sugar cravings when on diet.
