Burfi / Fudge are easily referred to as a square shaped sweet bites. They are easy to serve, to handle and look quite appealing as well.
This is the first time I made this combination of Oats & Almonds burfi / fudge, but as you see in the below pics, they turned absolutely outstanding in taste too.
These are Vegan + Gluten free, and the usage of jaggery gave a variation in taste and aroma as well. Made a batch of these for the coming Deepavali /Diwali festival, next week.
My three kids are eagerly waiting for this ‘Festival of lights’ & ‘sparklers’ especially.

Possible alterations for the recipe, ‘Oats Badam Burfi / Fudge’:
Vegans, can use vegan butter (available in market) or can use coconut oil too.
Instead of jaggery, you can even use any sugar (other than refined sugar).
Other nuts, suitable in this recipe are, Pecans, Cashew Nuts, Peanuts.
To skip using Nuts: In case you are allergic to nuts and would like to make the recipe completely nut free, just avoid using Almonds. The recipe works fine even with desiccated coconut.
Alternate shapes: Though making these squares is easy, another option would be to roll them into laddoo / balls.

For the jaggery syrup, should it be of string consistency?
