Can this oats laddu be done with unrefined cane sugar instead of jaggery
Yes, this laddu can be done with unrefined cane sugar also.
Thank you ... Should the cane sugar be ground
Yes, it should be ground.
I want to add dates. Should I first dry roast the dates pieces then add this to the oats mixture?
No, you do not have to dry roast dates. Chop it finely and grind with the oats mixture. If you are adding dates, reduce the amount of jaggery and ghee.
If we add the dates, shelf life will reduce, correct? It will stay good for how many days?
No, even if you add dates, it will stay good for a month. Avoid using wet hands.
I made them in like 10 minutes and within minutes they were gone!
Can I prepare these with rolled oats
Yes, you can but roast it well.

Added some dates and reduced the quantity of jaggery. As awesome as ever.
