Rachel's Homemade (copycat) Aussie Bites

Servings: 24

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/4 cup raw shelled pistachios
  • 1/4 cup raw pecans or walnuts
  • 6 large pitted medjool dates
  • 1/4 cup dried apricots
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries or cherries
  • 1 cup cooked quinoa
  • 2 Tbsps chia seeds
  • 2 Tbsps raw sesame seeds
  • 1/4 cup raw honey or pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted ghee clarified butter, or unrefined organic coconut oil

Instructions

  • I used a silicone mini muffin tray for these which made them very easy to remove. If you're using a metal tray, you may want to lightly coat in additional ghee or coconut oil.
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees f.
  • Place your oats in a food processor or high-speed blender and pulse until mostly finely chopped but not quite flour. Some oat pieces can still be intact/whole, we're just breaking it down by half.
  • Add the raw pistachios and pecans/walnuts then pulse until minced.
  • Add your pitted dates, apricots, and cranberries, then pulse, until everything is chopped and well combined; You may need to stop and scrape the walls of your food processor using a spatula as needed.
  • Add the cooked quinoa, chia seeds, sesame seeds, honey, melted ghee and continue to pulse several times, until the mixture is well combined and sticky.
  • Divide your mixture evenly into a 24 mini cup muffin tray, pressing it firmly into each cavity.
  • Bake in your preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges and tops of the muffins start to nicely brown.
  • Allow to cool on a cooling rack before serving.
  • After a few hours, place any leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to a week or the freezer for 2 months.
