Chikki is an Indian brittle or praline. It is an easy sweet and needs little cook time. This is a must for Diwali in Sindhi households. Most people also make it for Makar Sankranti. These sweets are a powerhouse of vitamins and anti-oxidants. Diwali and Sankranti both come during the beginning of autumn and near end of winter. Generally we make chikki out of peanuts, mix of almond walnuts and pistachios, sesame seeds. All these ingredients are great for protein and also increase body heat. Oats chikki or Oats brittle is a unique way of having oats. It resembles the nut based granola bars.

Unique ways of having oats

I try to incorporate oats in many ways into my diet. They are great for health and for weight loss. Great even for a toddler and older kids. However I cannot have it cold. I just can't. This recipe is for people who cannot have it cold as overnight oats I can have oats as a smoothie or as a brittle. You can also roast oats and powder them. Add it to roti.  Oats dhokla  and laddoo are also a great way to add it to your diet.

Roasted nuts are great for protein. Jaggery is good for iron. Oats are quite filling. Hence, this recipe is more nutritious than having a bar of chocolate. It actually resembles granola bars. A great pick me up between meetings. Healthy and flavorful yet something sweet. You can also break  this brittle and drizzle over ice cream for extra crunch. I love having it that way too.

Tip: Cook the jaggery until it turns brittle. When you drop bit of hot jaggery in cold water it should turn hard as mentioned below in the recipe.
