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
Directions
Step 1
In a heavy-bottomed pan, heat the ghee over medium heat until fully melted.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Remove the pan from heat and let the mixture cool slightly, just enough so it’s not too hot to handle.
Step 5
Incorporate the chopped nuts and raisins into the mixture and blend well.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Allow the ladoos to cool completely at room temperature before storing.
Step 8
Store the paleo besan ladoos in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
