Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled oats
- 0.75 cup Dried apricots
- 0.5 cup Almonds
- 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
- 0.25 cup Flaxseeds
- 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
- 0.5 cup Protein powder
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
- 0.25 cup Coconut oil
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line with mini muffin paper liners.
In a food processor, combine dried apricots and almonds, and pulse until they're finely chopped but not powdered.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, finely chopped apricots and almonds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and protein powder.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, unsweetened applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth.
Pour the warm liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Add baking soda and salt. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.
Scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Press the mixture down gently to form solid bites.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and allow the bites to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Once cooled, store the Aussie Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
