Sweet Oats Chivda | Jaggery Oats Crunch Mix | Peanut Butter Oats Munch |
Sweet Oats Chivda is a delicious, crunchy and wholesome snack that combines the goodness of oats, jaggery, peanut butter, and nuts into a healthy, sweet treat. This quick-to-make recipe is a perfect fusion of health and taste, offering a crisp texture with a mildly sweet and nutty flavor. The oats are roasted to perfection, giving the chivda a light crunch, while the jaggery (gur) and peanut butter bind everything together with their rich, caramel-like taste. It’s an ideal energy-boosting snack that can be enjoyed any time of the day — a guilt-free replacement for sugary cereals or fried snacks.
To prepare the Sweet Oats Chivda, start by dry roasting 1 cup of quick-cooking oats on medium flame for about 3 minutes until slightly golden and aromatic. Remove and keep aside. Heat 1 tablespoon ghee in a broad non-stick pan, add 2 tablespoons roughly chopped jaggery and 2 tablespoons peanut butter, and cook on a medium flame for 2 minutes while stirring continuously. The mixture will begin to melt and turn glossy, forming a sticky coating that will later cling to the oats beautifully.
Next, add the roasted oats, ¼ cup finely chopped mixed nuts, and ¼ teaspoon cardamom (elaichi) powder to the melted mixture. Mix well and cook for another minute while stirring occasionally. The nuts add a rich crunch and protein boost, while the cardamom lends a subtle, aromatic sweetness that elevates the flavor. Turn off the flame and transfer the mixture into a deep bowl. Allow it to cool slightly, then add the remaining 1 tablespoon peanut butter and mix again. This extra step gives the chivda a glossy finish and extra nutty richness.
Once cooled completely, store the Sweet Oats Chivda in an airtight container. It stays fresh for several days, making it a perfect make-ahead snack for busy mornings, office breaks, or kids’ tiffins. The combination of fiber-rich oats, protein-packed peanut butter, and iron-rich jaggery makes it both nourishing and energizing. It’s a much healthier alternative to packaged sweet snacks and a great way to satisfy your sweet cravings without refined sugar.
This chivda is also a fantastic choice for those looking for healthy mid-meal options or something to munch on during travel. The crunch of nuts, the sweetness of jaggery, and the smooth nuttiness of peanut butter come together to create a multi-textured snack that’s as enjoyable as it is wholesome. It’s a wonderful choice for kids too — naturally sweet, rich in nutrients, and full of energy to keep them active throughout the day.
With its delicate sweetness, warm aroma of cardamom, and satisfying crunch, Sweet Oats Chivda is a recipe that promises comfort and health in every bite. You can enjoy it with tea, sprinkle it over yogurt, or carry it as a travel-friendly snack. It’s a delightful way to make oats fun and flavorful for everyone in the family.
