Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Almond Flour
- 1 cup Coconut Sugar
- 1 cup Ghee
- 1 teaspoon Cardamom Powder
- 0.5 cup Chopped Nuts (almonds, cashews, pistachios)
- 0.25 cup Raisins
Instructions
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat until fully melted.
Add the almond flour to the ghee and stir continuously for about 10-15 minutes until the mix turns a golden-brown color and emits a nutty aroma. Ensure you keep stirring to prevent burning.
Once the almond flour is toasted, add the coconut sugar and cardamom powder. Mix well until the coconut sugar fully dissolves and blends with the flour mixture.
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly, just enough so it’s not too hot to handle.
Incorporate the chopped nuts and raisins into the mixture and blend well.
While the mixture is still warm and manageable, take a small portion of it, about a tablespoon, and roll it between your palms to form a smooth, round ball. Repeat this process with the remaining mixture.
Allow the ladoos to cool completely at room temperature before storing.
Store the paleo besan ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
