Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.75 cup whole wheat flour
- 0.5 cup coconut sugar
- 0.25 cup ground flaxseed
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 0.5 cup pumpkin seeds
- 0.25 cup sunflower seeds
- 0.5 cup dried apricots, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 0.25 cup honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a mini muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, coconut sugar, ground flaxseed, chia seeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, chopped dried apricots, dried cranberries, and shredded coconut.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, honey, vanilla extract, baking soda, and salt until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until everything is evenly coated and the mixture holds together when pressed.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cup to the top and pressing down firmly with the back of a spoon to ensure they stick together.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until lightly golden on top.
Remove from oven and allow to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the Nut-Free Aussie Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or in the fridge for longer freshness.
