Aussie Bite Copycat

[heart_this] · Sep 13, 2018 · 22 Comments

Aussie Bite Copycat

Two-bite honey and apricot treats inspired by the Aussie bite Costco snacks; light, healthy and tasty!

I came across these Aussie treats at Costco a while ago and I quite enjoy them! Of course I thought about making them myself and this is my version of them! These snacks are pretty simple with a bunch of great ingredients such as rolled oats, sunflower seeds, coconut, quinoa, flax seeds, hemp hearts, and chia seeds seeds all held together with butter, honey, coconut oil and chopped apricots and raisins. Everything is pulsed in a food processor to chop it up a bit and baked in mini muffin pans to make perfectly sized two-bite snacks! The sweetness comes naturally from the honey, apricots and raisins and I find that it’s the perfect level, not being too sweet, like cookies can be. Many of the ingredients are so-call super foods and packed with nutrients making these snacks pretty healthy; great for after school treats!
Yum!

      The first cup is pulsed into a powder/flour and the second half is only coarsely chopped to leave some oat texture. Enjoy!

    Calling my name, Kevin! I have all of these ingredients…who knew?
    Are these suitable for muffin wrappers/muffin tin to cook?
    Thanks for your anticipated input.

    Same question about the oats, one or two cups? These sound delicious and I can’t wait to try them!

    These sound easy enough and look good. Is the quinoa cooked or dry. I ‘m thinking the first cup of Oats are more of a base flour then the second batch is more for texture?

      They are super easy! The quinoa is uncooked/dry. Yes, one cup of oats for flour to help bind and the second one is for texture. Enjoy!

    Hi Kevin, I’ve never posted and finally I am! It’s about time because I’ve made many many of your recipes….. and might I add, all great! In fact, your Irish stew is simmering as I write this. 😆 Yummy!

    I am going to make these Aussie bites but I don’t have mini muffin tins. I was thinking of spreading it out on a cookie sheet and baking it that way, like granola? Or???

    Thoughts?

    Thanks again

      That should work, but keep them in small pieces, say 1×1 inch squares. Another idea is to use a small ice cream scoop, 2 tablespoons, to place scoops on a baking sheet. Enjoy!

        And the Irish stew was delicious!
