Recipe Information
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
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with coconut oil.
In a food processor, combine the rolled oats and dried apricots. Pulse until the mixture resembles a coarse meal.
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.
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.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients along with the unsweetened applesauce and raisins. Stir until all the ingredients are fully integrated.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full and pressing down slightly to compact.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the bites are lightly golden and firm to touch.
Remove from the oven and let cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the Dairy-Free Aussie Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
