Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 1 cup Dried apricots
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened shredded coconut
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Chia seeds
• 0.25 cup Flaxseed meal
• 0.5 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Maple syrup
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.75 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.5 cup Raisins

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine the rolled oats and dried apricots. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.

Step 3

Transfer the oat-apricot mixture to a large mixing bowl and add the shredded coconut, sunflower seeds, chia seeds, flaxseed meal, baking soda, and salt. Stir until well combined.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the coconut oil is melted and the ingredients are well combined.

Step 5

Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with the unsweetened applesauce and raisins. Stir until all the ingredients are fully integrated.

Step 6

Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full and pressing down slightly to compact.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bites are lightly golden and firm to touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Store the Dairy-Free Aussie Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
