Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp ground flax seeds
- 6 Tbsp water
- 3 Tbsp avocado oil
- ⅓ cup pure maple syrup or honey
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- ¾ cup oat flour*
- ¾ cup rolled oats*
- ¼ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp sea salt
- ½ cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup dried apricots chopped**
- ¼ cup unsalted sunflower seeds
Optional Additions:
- 1 to 3 Tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a small bowl, stir together the ground flax seeds and water until well-combined to create flax “eggs”. Allow this mixture to sit for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring every few minutes, or until the flax eggs are thick and have a similar consistency to beaten eggs.
- Once the flax mixture is ready, transfer it to a large bowl along with the avocado oil, honey (or pure maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Mix well to combine the wet ingredients.
- In a small bowl, combine the oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, and sea salt and stir together.
- Transfer the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix well until a thick sticky batter forms.
- Stir in the shredded coconut, chopped dried apricots and sunflower seeds and mix well.
- Spray a muffin tin with cooking oil. I make 7 good sized Aussie bites out of this recipe but you can make more smaller Aussie bites if you’d like. Spoon the Aussie bite batter into the prepared muffin tray and use the spoon to gently press the batter into an even layer in each hole.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the Aussie bites are golden brown around the edges.
- Allow the Aussie bites to cool completely before releasing them from the muffin tin. I run a paring knife between the bites and the tray to help release them.
Notes
- *Be sure to use gluten-free oats and gluten-free oat flour if you need this recipe to be gluten-free. To make your own oat flour, blend ¾ cup of oats in a blender for 30 seconds or until a flour forms.
- **This is roughly equivalent to 7 dried Turkish apricots.
- Store Aussie bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 10 days. You can also freeze them in a freezer bag for up to 3 months. You can keep Aussie bites stored at room temperature in a sealed container or zip lock bag for up to 5 days.
