Sugar-Free Besan Ladoo Recipe: A Healthy Twist to a Festive Classic

When it comes to Indian festivals, one sweet that always makes its way into the celebration is besan ladoo. Soft, melt-in-the-mouth, and irresistibly fragrant, these golden delights are a staple in every household. But the traditional recipe often uses a lot of sugar, making it heavy for those watching their health or managing diabetes.

That’s why this sugar-free besan ladoo recipe with Sugar Fighter Stevia Methai Powder is a game-changer. It carries the same authentic taste and aroma of roasted besan and ghee, but without the added sugar load—perfect for a guilt-free indulgence.

Why Try Sugar-Free Besan Ladoo?

Traditional besan ladoos are rich and delicious, but also calorie-heavy due to sugar. With this healthier version, you get:

✅ Diabetic-friendly sweetness – Stevia doesn’t spike blood sugar.

✅ Lower calories – Enjoy ladoos without worrying about excess sugar.
✅ Family-friendly – Suitable for kids, adults, and elders alike.
✅ Anytime treat – Not just for festivals, these ladoos can be your everyday sweet fix.

Ingredients You’ll Need

• 1 cup besan (gram flour)
• ½ cup ghee
• ½ cup Sugar Fighter Stevia Methai Powder (1:1 ratio, equivalent to sugar sweetness)
• ½ teaspoon cardamom powder
• Chopped almonds or cashews (optional, for garnish)
  

 How to Make Sugar-Free Besan Ladoo

1. Roast the besan: Heat ghee in a heavy-bottomed kadai on low flame. Add the besan and roast it slowly, stirring continuously for 12–15 minutes until it turns golden and gives off a nutty aroma.
2. Cool slightly: Switch off the flame and let the mixture rest for about 5 minutes so it isn’t too hot when adding the sweetener.
3. Sweeten & flavor: Mix in Sugar Fighter Stevia Methai Powder and cardamom powder. Stir well until combined.
4. Shape the ladoos: While still warm, scoop portions and shape them into small round ladoos using your palms.
5. Garnish: Press a chopped almond or cashew on top of each ladoo.

Why the Right Stevia Matters

Not all sweeteners work well in Indian sweets. Some may leave a bitter aftertaste, especially in roasted desserts like besan ladoos. That’s why Sugar Fighter Stevia Methai Powder is ideal—it blends smoothly, tastes natural, and keeps the ladoos deliciously authentic.

You can buy Sugar Fighter Stevia Methai Powder for mithai-making, or try other trusted options like Nutrizo Advancis Stevia for daily use.

Tips to Get Perfect Besan Ladoos Every Time

• Patience is key: Roast the besan slowly on low flame to avoid a raw taste.
• Texture check: The mixture should be grainy but soft enough to bind. If too dry, add 1–2 teaspoons of warm ghee.
• Storage: Keep in an airtight container. These stay fresh for up to a week at room temperature.
  

Health & Nutrition Notes

• Calories per ladoo: ~110–120 (depending on size).
• Carbs: Reduced significantly as stevia replaces sugar.
• Nutrients: Besan adds protein & fiber, while ghee provides healthy fats.

It’s a festive sweet that balances indulgence with mindful eating.
