Aussie Bites

This Aussie Bites with Whole Grain Flour are delicious! I bought them at Costco. This is the recipe I found online from Inside Karen's Kitchen. I modified the recipe to make it vegan: 

Ingredients:  

  • 1 3/4 cups rolled oats divided
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
  • 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup quinoa
  • 2 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegan butter melted
  • 1/4 unrefined coconut oil melted
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Directions: 

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat two 12-count mini muffin pans with cooking spray and set aside. 
 
Place 1 cup of rolled oats into a food processor. Process for about 1 minute until oats are pulverized. Add in the remaining 3/4 cup rolled oats, dried apricots, raisins, flax seed, sunflower seeds, coconut, quinoa, chia seeds and baking soda. Pulse until apricots and raisins are in small bits. 
 
Pour in maple syrup, melted butter, coconut oil and vanilla extract. Pulse just until combined. 
 
Divide batter among the prepared muffin pans. Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. 
 
Remove pans from oven and let cool in pans on a wire cooling rack for 10 minutes. Remove from pans and let cool completely on the wire rack. 
 
Store in an airtight container for up to 4 to 5 days. Can also freeze for up to 2 to 3 months.

Serves: 12 muffins or 24 mini-muffins
