Peanut Sesame treats


If you are looking for a healthier snack that is both filling as well as healthy, and also satisfies your sweet tooth, then you are on the right page. These healthy, sugar-free, guilt-free Peanut Sesame balls are definitely the most delicious yet the most underrated desserts.

It does not need baking at all and can be made in a jiffy. You just need 5 ingredients which are almost in every pantry especially the Indian pantry. This recipe requires roasting of the peanuts and sesame seeds which enhances the aroma making these treats super delicious. The other part required is blending them together to make balls.

These are melt in the mouth, a very good snack for kids Snack box. My daughter loves to munch on them during her online class breaks. She also loves to have homemade biscotti's that I make.

Peanuts and sesame both have their own health benefits. Peanuts are nutrient-rich, a good source of fats, protein, and fiber. Sesame seeds are rich in healthy fats like Omega 6 and are also a good source of iron, calcium, magnesium, and phosphorus. So overall these are definitely a must-have for kids (of course who are not allergic to nuts) for their growth and well being.

In place of sugar, jaggery is used in this recipe which is again high in Iron. Jaggery is much healthier than refined sugar as it is not too processed and still contains the nutrients of Sugarcane.
These can also be made in the festivals beforehand. Good for old age people as they may not be able to eat peanuts.

These 5 ingredient treats are super easy to make. This recipe makes 10 to 12 small size balls. You can adjust the recipe as needed. Lets dig in the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:
Peanuts 1 cup
Sesame seeds 1/2 cup
Jaggery 1 cup
Ghee 1 tsp
Cardamom Powder 1 tsp

INSTRUCTION:
1.In a pan, Dry roast Peanuts on low flame evenly. Keep stirring to ensure they don't get burnt. Once they look roasted..transfer to a plate, and allow them to cool.

2.In the same Pan, add sesame seeds and dry roast until they start popping. Make sure not to over roast.

3.Now, once the roasted peanuts cool down, rub the peanuts with hand to remove the skin and blow away the skin.
4.Now in a Large Mixer/Blender, add peanuts, sesame seeds, jaggery, ghee, and cardamom powder.
5.Grind them all finely. You can see the powder is moist and holds shape when formed into a ball with hands.
6.Now take equal portions and roll them into small balls. Store in airtight containers. Stays good for 10 days.
I hope you will make these delicious treats and relish them with your friends and family. Drop me a feedback in the comments section if you try this recipe. And also do connect with me on Instagram @archanasvegfoodchronicles.

Eggless Brazilian Cheese Bread

Pao de Queijo (pronounced as pown -deh- kay-zho) aka Brazilian Cheese Bread is a small baked cheese bun, a popular snack and breakfast food that originated in the state Minas Gerais of Brazil. These are bread/buns usually made with tapioca flour, milk, oil, cheese, salt, and egg/egg substitute. Since I don't use eggs in my baking I have used vinegar instead. These are soft, chewy and so addictive. I love to make healthy bakes from all around the world. Inspired by this YouTube video by Something Dave and I gave it a try as it was an eggless version.These came out so well. These are super simple and easy to make with just five ingredients. A must try because they are gluten-free, contain no yeast, no baking powder, yet so soft and cheesy😋 I had never tried baking with tapioca flour...and found it so interesting to bake with. The dough is too sticky and you will need some extra flour to be dusted to make balls out of it. I have used plant-based pa...
