Number Of Ingredients 15

1-3/4 cups rolled oats (*)
1/4 cup dried apricots (prunes, figs or dates can be substituted)
1/4 cup raisins (or cranberries)
1/4 cup coconut sugar (or brown/cane sugar)
1/4 cup shredded coconut (unsweetened)
1/4 cup puffed amaranth (or puffed, cooked, or raw quinoa)
1/4 cup sunflower seeds (or pumpkin seeds)
1/4 cup flax meal
2 tablespoons chia seeds
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
1/4 cup maple syrup (honey or agave nectar)
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a 24-count mini muffin pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Add 1 cup of the rolled oats to your food processor. Let it run until the oats are turned into a fine flour.
  • To that add the remaining 3/4 cup of rolled oats, 1/4 cup dried apricots, 1/4 cup raisins, 1/4 cup coconut sugar, 1/4 cup shredded coconut, 1/4 cup puffed amaranth, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup flax meal, 2 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp baking soda.
  • Close the lid and pulse the food processor repeatedly until the dried fruit is cut up into small bits.
  • To the dry mix add 1/3 cup melted coconut oil, 1/4 cup maple syrup, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract. Pulse again until everything is evenly moistened and combined.
  • Divide the mixture into the prepared mini muffin cavities and press down to compress the Aussie bites. Alternatively, use a small cookie scoop (1 tbsp size) and form 24 mounds on a lined baking sheet.
  • Bake the Aussie bites for 10-12 minutes until golden. Let them cool in the pan (or on it) before removing and storing.
  • Keep the Aussie bites in an airtight container at room temperature for about 1 week.

I imagine you can play with the ingredients some, and I plan to try cutting the fat (2 sticks of butter for 30 cookies??! YIKES!), but am posting the recipe exactly as I found it on the net.

AWESOME AUSSIE BITES



Awesome Aussie Bites image

I went on a quest to come up with the same recipe for Costco's Aussie bites. I tried several online recipes and tweaked and tweaked to get it just right. While I never did achieve the same taste and texture as Costco's, I did come up with a recipe that I like just as well as theirs. Please note that this recipe is designed to work perfectly with the Calphalon mini-muffin tin which is slightly larger than your standard mini-muffin pan. (A medium cookie scoop (1.5 Tbsp) also works perfectly to divide the batter evenly between the 24 openings). If using a standard size mini-muffin pan, you will probably get more than 24 muffins and will need to bake them on the lower end of the given range for baking time. You can find the Lyle's Golden Syrup at Whole Foods or online at Amazon. I suppose you could substitute more honey or agave, but the golden syrup is an authentic ingredient in these Australian delights (Anzac biscuits) and really adds a nice caramelized flavor. If you haven't tried golden syrup, I highly recommend it!

Time 32m

Yield 24 bites, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/4 cup cooked toasted quinoa
3/4 cup oat flour
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup flax seed meal
1/2 tablespoon whole flax seed
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup dried fruit, packed (raisins and apricots are standard)
1/2 cup unsweetened dried shredded coconut
1 tablespoon chia seeds
1/4 cup roasted unsalted sunflower seeds
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tablespoons agave syrup or 2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons lyle's golden syrup
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325° convection bake or 350° standard bake. Lightly grease a 24-count mini-muffin tin with coconut oil.
  • Start cooking the quinoa in a small saucepan (1-1/2 Tbsp quinoa with 3 Tbsp water will make close to the quantity you need. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and let simmer on low for 15 to 20 minutes or until water is absorbed).
  • Place oat flour, sugar, sea salt, baking powder, flax meal and flax seeds into the bowl of a food processor. Pulse about 15 times to break up the whole flax seeds a bit.
  • Add in the rolled oats and dried fruit and pulse about 10 times. Fruit should be broken up, but there will still be some larger bits.
  • Add in the coconut, cooked quinoa, and chia seeds. Pulse about 5 times (you don't want to grind things up too much).
  • Add in the sunflower seeds. Do not pulse.
  • Combine melted coconut oil, melted butter, agave or honey, golden syrup, and vanilla extract. Add to the mixture in the food processor and pulse just until combined, about 10 times.
  • Divide batter evenly among the prepared muffin tin holes. Lighly press the mixture down.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 to 14 minutes (depending upon the size of your mini-muffin pan - see note).
  • Remove pan from oven and (IMPORTANT!) let cool for 15 minutes before attempting to remove the bites. Gently remove the muffins and let cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days or freeze.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture in your Aussie bites.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough, dense Aussie bites. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Use a non-stick pan: This will help prevent the Aussie bites from sticking and burning.
  • Cook the Aussie bites over medium heat: This will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Cooking the Aussie bites in batches will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Serve the Aussie bites warm: They are best enjoyed fresh out of the pan, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.

Conclusion:

Aussie bites are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer that are perfect for any occasion. With a variety of flavors and fillings to choose from, there's sure to be an Aussie bite that everyone will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a tasty treat, give Aussie bites a try!
