My daughter-in-law is half Australian, so when I saw Aussie Bites at Costco, I thought I'd better buy them. My granddaughter loves them, and goes to the pantry whenever they come to visit. So, I decided I needed to figure out how to make them myself without some of the yucky stuff that is in the store-bought ones. Here's my go at it.....
Ingredients
4 cups oats, ground
1 cup shredded coconut
2/3 cup chopped sunflower seeds
1/4 cup chopped flax seeds
1/2 cup chopped raisins
1/2 cup chopped dried apricots
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup honey
1 Tablespoon flax seed ground and then mixed well with 6 Tablespoons water (I use my Magic Bullet to grind the seeds and then add the water and whirl them up again. I got mine at Costco.)
Mix all the dry ingredients together.
Mix butter, coconut oil and honey in a small saucepan and melt together. Pour over dry ingredients.
Add flax & water mixture to everything else and mix well.
I use a 2 T measuring cup, dip it into water and then press the oat mixture firmly into the little cup. In order to get it to release, I use a paring or table knife to break the suction and then plop it onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Bake for about 10 minutes in a 350* oven.
Makes about 36
They're really good. :-)
