Ingredients

• 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
• 1 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
• 1 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• 0.5 cup ground flaxseed
• 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
• 0.5 cup sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup chia seeds
• 0.75 cup honey
• 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a mini muffin tin with a non-stick spray or line with mini paper liners.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, dried apricots, shredded coconut, ground flaxseed, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and chia seeds. Stir well until all the dry ingredients are evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey and melted butter. Stir continuously until thoroughly blended. Remove from heat and stir in the baking soda, vanilla extract, and salt.

Step 4

Pour the honey and butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix well using a spatula or wooden spoon until everything is well coated and holds together when pressed.

Step 5

Using a spoon or a small cookie scoop, fill each mini muffin cup with the mixture, pressing down gently to compact it slightly.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown.

Step 7

Allow the bites to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 8

Once cooled, store the Aussie Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week, or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
