Vegan Aussie Bites - A Tasty Snack Recipe from Oh My Veggies! image

These vegan Aussie Bites are like a cross between a granola bar and a muffin. Best of all, they take only about 10 minutes to assemble!

Number Of Ingredients 11

1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 cups oat flour*
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup unsalted roasted sunflower seeds
1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
1/3 cup flaxseed meal
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup dried apricots

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray the cups of a mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray or rub with a little coconut oil**.
  • Heat the coconut oil and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until coconut oil has melted. Set aside.
  • To the bowl of an 8-cup or larger food processor, add oat flour, oats, and sunflower seeds. Pulse a couple of times until the seeds and oats begin to break up. Add the coconut, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to mix.
  • Add the raisins and dried apricots and pulse until the apricots are approximately the size of peas.
  • Pour the melted coconut oil and maple syrup over the dry ingredients, then pulse just until combined. Transfer to a large bowl and stir well to make sure all ingredients are well-combined. If any of the apricots and raisins stick together in clumps, use your fingers to separate and distribute them throughout the mix.
  • Scoop by the heaping tablespoonful into the cups of the mini muffin pan (I use a cookie scoop). With your fingers, press each gently but firmly to pack and flatten.
  • Bake for about 12 minutes until set and edges are golden.
  • Remove from oven, allowing to cool for about 10 minutes. Use a butter knife to help pop each bite out of its respective tin; carefully remove from tin and place on a wire rack until completely cool and set. They may be fragile until completely cooled.
  • Keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or freeze in a zipper bag.
