Oats and Walnut Chikki | oats chikki with flaxseeds, sesame seeds | oats jaggery chikki |
Oats and Walnut Chikki is a modern, healthy twist on the classic Indian brittle. Made with oats, walnuts, jaggery, and nutty seeds, this snack is the perfect blend of crunch, sweetness, and nourishment. Unlike traditional chikkis made purely from nuts or peanuts, this version uses quick-cooking oats to add a hearty texture and extra fiber, making it a great anytime snack for both kids and adults.
The preparation begins by dry roasting oats on a medium flame until they turn light golden and aromatic. This step enhances their flavor and ensures the chikki has a pleasant, crisp texture. In the same pan, jaggery (gur) is melted with a touch of ghee to form a sticky syrup that binds the ingredients together. The key here is to cook the jaggery on a low flame and stir continuously to achieve the perfect glossy consistency.
Once the jaggery syrup is ready, the roasted oats and chopped walnuts are mixed in, coating them evenly in the sweet, golden mixture. The addition of roasted flaxseeds (alsi) and sesame seeds (til) not only enhances the taste but also boosts the nutritional value — flaxseeds bring omega-3 fatty acids and fiber, while sesame seeds add calcium and a nutty aroma. Together, these ingredients make this oats jaggery chikki both delicious and wholesome.
The hot mixture is then quickly spread on a greased thali or flat surface and rolled into a thin sheet using a greased rolling pin. Greasing is essential, as the jaggery mixture tends to stick if not handled properly. Once flattened, the chikki is cut into neat squares while still warm, then left to cool completely. As it sets, it becomes crisp, glossy, and perfectly breakable — just like a traditional brittle.
This oats chikki with flaxseeds and sesame seeds offers the best of both worlds — the classic crunch of chikki with the goodness of superfoods. It’s a great option for those looking for healthier desserts or energy-boosting snacks. Each bite delivers a mix of nutty, earthy, and caramel-like flavors, with just the right balance of sweetness and crunch.
The combination of flaxseeds, walnuts, and sesame seeds provides essential nutrients for maintaining spine and bone strength. Snack on a few pieces to get your dose of omega-3 fatty acids, fiber, and antioxidants!!!
The Oats and Walnut Chikki stays fresh for 3 to 4 days when stored in an air-tight container at room temperature. Enjoy it as a post-meal treat, a quick bite between work breaks, or a nutritious snack during travel. Simple, natural, and packed with nutrients — this oats jaggery chikki is a guilt-free indulgence that proves healthy eating can be irresistibly tasty!
