Biotin, also known as Vitamin B7, is an essential nutrient that supports your overall health. It plays a crucial role in converting food into energy and is especially beneficial for your hair, nails, and skin. Biotin also supports a healthy pregnancy, helps manage blood sugar levels, and offers a range of other health benefits. One easy and delicious way to incorporate biotin into your diet is through biotin laddu, a nutrient-rich snack made from nuts, seeds, and dates. Best of all, this sugar-free and oil-free treat is incredibly easy to make at home.

Ingredients You’ll Need:

• 1/4 cup roasted pumpkin seeds
• 1 cup roasted peanuts

2. Prepare the Date Paste:
   • Remove the seeds from the dates and add them to a mixer grinder. Along with the dates, add the roasted peanuts, almonds, and the seed mixture to the grinder.

Additional Tips:

• Grind the nuts and seeds longer for a smoother texture, or leave them chunkier if you prefer a bit more texture.
• Feel free to experiment with different nuts and seeds for variety. You can try using walnuts, cashews, or chia seeds for a unique twist.
• If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a natural sweetener like honey, though the dates should provide enough sweetness on their own.
