Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 0.5 cup Maple syrup
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cardamom
- 0.25 cup Chopped almonds
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
- 0.125 teaspoon Pinch of sea salt
Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the coconut oil over low heat.
Add the almond flour to the pan and stir continuously to prevent burning. Roast the almond flour until it turns golden brown and aromatic, about 7-10 minutes.
Once roasted, remove the pan from heat and allow the almond flour to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, combine the roasted almond flour, maple syrup, ground cardamom, chopped almonds, shredded coconut, and a pinch of sea salt. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
Allow the mixture to cool until it is comfortable to handle.
Take a small portion of the mixture in your hand (about 1.5 tablespoons) and shape it into a firm, round ball. Repeat this step with the remaining mixture.
Place the laddu on a plate or tray and let them sit at room temperature for an hour to firm up, or refrigerate them for a faster set.
Serve the paleo besan ka laddu at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to one week.
