Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Rolled Oats
- 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
- 0.5 cup Dried Apricots, chopped
- 0.5 cup Dried Cranberries
- 0.25 cup Unsweetened Shredded Coconut
- 0.25 cup Chia Seeds
- 0.25 cup Sunflower Seeds
- 0.25 cup Flaxseed Meal
- 1 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Baking Soda
- 0.5 cup Apple Sauce
- 0.5 cup Honey
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 2 large Egg Whites
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 24-cup mini muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, dried apricots, dried cranberries, shredded coconut, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and baking soda. Stir well to combine all dry ingredients evenly.
In another bowl, whisk together apple sauce, honey, vanilla extract, and egg whites until smooth and well integrated.
Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until everything is thoroughly mixed and a thick batter is formed.
Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top to ensure properly-sized bites.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a bite comes out clean.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for a couple of minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these low-fat Aussie bites as a healthy snack or breakfast on-the-go.
