Recipe

¼ C. quinoa, toasted
1 C. apricots, dried
3 ½ C. rolled oats, divided
1 T. chia seeds
⅓ C. dates
1 T. coconut sugar
3 T. honey
3 T. flax seed
2 T. coconut flakes
⅓ C. coconut oil
¼ C. avocado oil
2 eggs
pinch of sea salt
11/2 tsp baking soda

To Make

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat a pan over high heat. Once hot, add the quinoa—it should start popping within a matter of seconds. Cook for just a few minutes and remove to a separate bowl. Blend 2 cups of oats down into flour, leaving the remaining cup a half whole. In a food processor, pulse the apricots and dates until relatively smooth. Combine all the remaining ingredients into a large bowl and stir. Press dough into a mini muffin tin sprayed with avocado oil and bake for 8-10 min. Allow pan to cool entirely before flipping over and gently tapping on the back. Aussie bites should fall out easily. Store in the fridge for a week or so, or up to a month in the freezer.

To Meal Prep

Make a double batch just as instructed above and freeze once cooled. To reheat, pop in the oven or microwave until warmed through. Pro tip—eat within a month or two.
