Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Precook the quinoa.
• Combine the butter, apricots, raisins, vanilla, and water in a pot. Heat over medium until the butter is melted. (This softens and moistens the dried fruits so they're easier to blend.)
• Put this mixture into your Blendtec. If you don't have one, you should ;)
• Blend on low for about 8 seconds or until the dried fruits are about the size of grains of rice.
• In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir until fully mixed. (UPDATE: we added an additional 1/4 cup of regular white sugar because these weren't quite sweet enough for our taste.)
• Put tablespoon size scoops into a silicone mini muffin pan. Flatten down the mixture into the muffin pan (important).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Let cool for 5 minutes before removing.
• Cool completely before storing in a sealed container. (Ours lasted about a month in a sealed plastic container.)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF. Prepare a mini muffin pan with nonstick spray.Combine the first 9 ingredients (oat flour through salt) in a medium bowl. Add dried fruit, butter, honey, vanilla, and egg white. Mix everything together thoroughly-using your hands helps! Your mixture should resemble oatmeal cookie dough.Fill about 16 muffin molds with the dough, pressing them down and filling them to the top. Bake for about 10 minutes or until sides are golden brown. Let them sit for 10-15 minutes before trying to remove them from the pan.Let them cool before eating. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. They should last for several days. I actually like them better the day after I made them!

AUSSIE BITES RECIPE

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350F.
• Grease the wells of a mini muffin pan using coconut oil.
• Combine the coconut oil and maple syrup (or honey) in a microwave safe bowl or jug, and heat (about 30 seconds), then whisk until combined. Set aside.
• Add oat flour, oats, and half the sunflower seeds to a food processor and pulse a couple of times until the seeds and oats begin to break up (don't overdo this)
• Add half the coconut, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to mix.
• Add the raisins and dried apricots and pulse until the fruit is JUST broken up. (You still want good sized bits of fruit in there.)
• Transfer the mix to a large bowl, and add the remaining coconut and sunflower seeds.
• Pour the melted coconut oil and maple syrup over the mixture and stir until well combined.
• Fill the cups of the mini muffin pan all the way to the top, then press down to pack the mixture in densely.
• Bake for about 10-12 minutes until set and edges are golden.
• Remove from oven, cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then gently
• Remove from tin and cool on a wire rack.
• Devour.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk together the dry ingredients and set aside.
• Add in the wet ingredients and mix thoroughly.
• Next, add in the mix-ins and stir until well combined - it might take a bit of elbow grease, but you want the mix ins to be evenly incorporated even though the mixture will be quite loose and crumbly.
• Greese a mini muffin tin (silicone works best!) and pack the dough into the cups. Alternatively, form the dough into balls about 1.5 inches in diameter and line up on the baking sheet. Lightly press down on the bites to flatten them slightly.
• Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cook in the tin or on the tray for 10 minutes. Gently remove the bites onto a cooking rack and cool completely. Serve.

VEGAN AUSSIE BITES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Spray the cups of a mini-muffin pan with non-stick spray or rub with a little coconut oil**.
• Heat the coconut oil and maple syrup in a small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until coconut oil has melted. Set aside.
• To the bowl of an 8-cup or larger food processor, add oat flour, oats, and sunflower seeds. Pulse a couple of times until the seeds and oats begin to break up. Add the coconut, flaxseed meal, baking powder, and salt. Pulse to mix.
• Add the raisins and dried apricots and pulse until the apricots are approximately the size of peas.
• Pour the melted coconut oil and maple syrup over the dry ingredients, then pulse just until combined. Transfer to a large bowl and stir well to make sure all ingredients are well-combined. If any of the apricots and raisins stick together in clumps, use your fingers to separate and distribute them throughout the mix.
• Scoop by the heaping tablespoonful into the cups of the mini muffin pan (I use a cookie scoop). With your fingers, press each gently but firmly to pack and flatten.
• Bake for about 12 minutes until set and edges are golden.
• Remove from oven, allowing to cool for about 10 minutes. Use a butter knife to help pop each bite out of its respective tin; carefully remove from tin and place on a wire rack until completely cool and set. They may be fragile until completely cooled.
• Keep at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days, or freeze in a zipper bag.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spray a mini muffin tin with baking spray (optional) Use a food processor to process 1 cup of the oats until consistency is like flour. Pour into a medium size bowl. Add the remaining cup of oats and the quinoa. Stir to combine. No need to clean the food processor. Add the apricots, dried cherries, dates, and raisins. Pulse to break down the fruits into tiny pieces. Going all the way to a smooth paste is fine too. Add the oats and quinoa and back into the food processor. Add the honey, coconut flakes, pistachios, melted butter, and baking soda. Pulse until the mixture comes together. It will likely form a ball. Place about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each mini muffin space. Press down to fill the muffin cavity. Bake for 12-14 minutes or until the edges start to brown. Let cool in the muffin tin completely before removing.
