Number Of Ingredients 15

1-3/4 cups rolled oats (*)
1/4 cup dried apricots (prunes, figs or dates can be substituted)
1/4 cup raisins (or cranberries)
1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown/cane sugar)
1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1/4 cup puffed amaranth (or puffed, cooked, or raw quinoa)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (or pumpkin seeds)
1/4 cup flax meal
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup maple syrup (honey or agave nectar)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 24-count mini muffin pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add 1 cup of the rolled oats to your food processor. Let it run until the oats are turned into a fine flour.
  • To that add the remaining 3/4 cup of rolled oats, 1/4 cup dried apricots, 1/4 cup raisins, 1/4 cup coconut sugar, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1/4 cup puffed amaranth, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup flax meal, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp baking soda.
  • Close the lid and pulse the food processor repeatedly until the dried fruit is cut up into small bits.
  • To the dry mix add 1/3 cup melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pulse again until everything is evenly moistened and combined.
  • Divide the mixture into the prepared mini muffin cavities and press down to compress the Aussie bites. Alternatively, use a small cookie scoop (1 tbsp size) and form 24 mounds on a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the Aussie bites for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let them cool in the pan (or on it) before removing and storing.
  • Keep the Aussie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for about 1 week.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3/4 cup oats
3/4 cup almond meal
3/4 cup brown rice flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup almond butter
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3/4 cup nuts/seeds (I used a mix of pumpkin seeds, chopped pecans, and chopped almonds)
3/4 cup dried fruit (I used raisins and diced apricots)
1/4 cup shredded coconut
1/4 cup flax
2 tablespoons chia seeds

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
  • Whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
  • Add in the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
  • Next, add in the mix-ins and stir until well combined - it might take a bit of elbow grease, but you want the mix ins to be evenly incorporated even though the mixture will be quite loose and crumbly.
  • Greese a mini muffin tin (silicone works best!) and pack the dough into the cups. Alternatively, form the dough into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter and line up on the baking sheet. Lightly press down on the bites to flatten them slightly.
  • Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cook in the tin or on the tray for 10 minutes. Gently remove the bites onto a cooking rack and cool completely. Serve.

1/4 cup coconut oil

  • Add oat flour, oats, and half the sunflower seeds to a food processor and pulse a couple of times until the seeds and oats begin to break up (don't overdo this)
  • Add half the coconut, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to mix.
  • Add the raisins and dried apricots and pulse until the fruit is JUST broken up. (You still want good sized bits of fruit in there.)

Got this recipe off the internet after doing a Google search, and found that someone had originally bought them at Sam's Club and asked for the recipe ... just like I did! I imagine you can play with the ingredients some, and I plan to try cutting the fat (2 sticks of butter for 30 cookies??! YIKES!), but am posting the recipe exactly as I found it on the net.
