Healthy Sweet Treat

Healthy Sweet Treat

The 7^th Day of Navratri and I am giving  you a healthy laddoo. It looked interesting when I came across the recipe. Its ingredients – oats and peanuts is full of health benefits. Jaggery, is a healthy alternative to sugar. So, much as I try not to, I end up trying out healthy recipes only. And yes, this is great as an in-between meal snack or just a tinge of meetha for those with a sweet tooth. It is extremely easy and quick to make. So let’s get on with it…
