Oats and dates ladoo with ghee, nuts, and some chia seeds for added crunch and to make it more fancy! If you want to make some healthier ladoos this Diwali, look no further because I got your back.

I have to admit Diwali this year is going to be even more low-key than usual with minimal sweets and snacks being made. Since Sameera, life has taken a 360 degree turn and I have no time for anything! Understandable, I know but it’s made worse by the fact that I work full time and so any time at home, I spend with her entirely.

I rarely cook anymore, baked bread once in the last 12 months, and pretty much whatever my helper decides to make (she IS a very good cook though so that’s a silver lining).

Diwali cooking this year is average at best and I may not be making any elaborate Diwali snacks at home. That said, a few easy Diwali sweets with condensed milk may be just up my alley since I am so short on time and a constantly stressed new mom.

This oats and dates ladoo is super simple and can be made in less than 20 minutes. Here are more Diwali recipes under 20 minutes in case you are short on time like me this year!
