Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats
• 0.75 cup Dried apricots
• 0.5 cup Almonds
• 0.5 cup Sunflower seeds
• 0.25 cup Flaxseeds
• 2 tablespoons Chia seeds
• 0.5 cup Protein powder
• 0.5 cup Honey
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened applesauce
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a mini muffin pan or line with mini muffin paper liners.

Step 2

In a food processor, combine dried apricots and almonds, and pulse until they're finely chopped but not powdered.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, finely chopped apricots and almonds, sunflower seeds, flaxseeds, chia seeds, and protein powder.

Step 4

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the honey, unsweetened applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until the coconut oil is melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 5

Pour the warm liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl. Add baking soda and salt. Stir the mixture until all ingredients are well combined.

Step 6

Scoop the batter into the prepared mini muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 full. Press the mixture down gently to form solid bites.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-14 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and firm to the touch.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and allow the bites to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Once cooled, store the Aussie Bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
