Dry fruits burfi | Oats and Nuts burfi | Dates burfi | nuts burfi is prepared with oats, nuts and dates. I have used dates for the sweetness and this is Zero sugar cake. Dates katli is a filling guilt free mid-morning and evening snacks.

In the month of April, 25 recipes of mine got published in a Tamil magazine. I prepared this burfi for that. I usually have recipes in my draft for ages and post in random order.

Should sweets always be guilty pleasure? My sweet tooth always asks for sweet but sugar alarms me. I started experimenting with honey and Dates. Eggless Dry fruit and nuts cake, sugarless jam , oats Banana bar and nuts and Dates ball are my few posts/ to be posted experiment

Loaded with nuts and oats, this is not only a great nutritional snack/ mild sweet for adults also yummy treats for kids.

Notes

  1. Nuts and oats flour can also be dry roasted. Roast the nuts to avoid raw smell
  2. Sugar/Jaggery can be used instead if sugar. Prepare the sugar syrup with little water and add the flour mixture and cook till it keaves the pan
  3. Apple sauce,Mango puree or any fruit puree can be replaced with dates syrup
  4. Store brought dates syrup can also be used
  5. Any nuts like cashew, walnut,pecan, almond,pista etc. Can be used
  6. I used combination of oats and nuts instead burfi can also prepared with any one nuts/pays flour
  7.  Artificial food color can be added for color
  8. Fried nuts can be added for extra richness
