Food Processor Sugar Free Mixed Nuts Ladoo

Hey everyone! Hope you all are doing well. We are blessed with Goldilocks weather in Texas these days, especially in the mornings. I love my early morning walks on such days. Lets talk about a Sugar free Homemade Nutritious Protein Bar recipe. In January of 2023, I had blogged about Dates Syrup Laddoo. Today, I'll share an easier version of this treat using a food processor. Even Vegans can enjoy these.

Ingredients:

Dry desiccated Coconut - 1 cup

Roasted Mixed Nuts - 1 cup 

Date Syrup - about 1/2 cup

Grated Nutmeg/Jaiphal - 1/8 tsp

How to make Homemade Vegan Sugar Free Protein Bars:

• Dry roast coconut at very low flame for about a minute or until coconut slightly changes in color. Let it cool.
• Meanwhile, in a food processor, add roasted Mixed Nuts of your choice. Blend them in the food processor as fine or coarse you would like the nuts to be. Next, add grated nutmeg and roasted coconut. Pulse it again to mix all the ingredients well.
• Lastly, add Date Syrup and blend until all the ingredients are mixed well. Start with 1/4 cup date syrup. Try to make a round ball of the ladoo mix. If the ball falls apart, add a little more date syrup. Depending on how you like your ladoos, add more or less date syrup. Voila, your Homemade Protein Bars are ready.
• I added nutmeg for flavor. Feel free to add ground Cinnamon/Dalchini or ground Green Cardamom/Elaichi or any other flavoring of your choice. I used store bought Unsalted Roasted Mixed Nuts to save time. You can roast raw nuts of your choice.
