aussie bites recipe With Apricot Cranberry Speckles
- Total Time: 50 minutes
- Yield: 24 bites 1x
- Diet: General
Description
These energizing Aussie bites feature the delightful chewiness of oats, bright apricot and cranberry speckles, providing a wholesome, family-friendly, and convenient snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
- 1 cup (90g) shredded coconut
- 0.5 cup (75g) dried apricots, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup (60g) dried cranberries
- 0.5 cup (120ml) honey or maple syrup
- 0.5 cup (128g) nut butter (peanut or almond), creamy
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Gather and Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups (180g) rolled oats, 1 cup (90g) shredded coconut, 0.5 cup (75g) chopped dried apricots, and 0.5 cup (60g) dried cranberries, ensuring fruits are evenly distributed.
- Warm Wet Ingredients: In a small saucepan over low heat, gently warm 0.5 cup (120ml) honey (or maple syrup) and 0.5 cup (128g) nut butter until just pourable (about 2-3 minutes). Stir in 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract.
- Mix and Combine: Pour the warm wet mixture over the dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly with a sturdy spoon or your hands until everything is well coated and sticky. If the mixture is too crumbly, add 1-2 tablespoons more nut butter or maple syrup until pliable.
- Form the Bites: Using a small cookie scoop (about 1.5-inch diameter) or your hands, roll the mixture into uniform, bite-sized balls, pressing firmly to ensure they hold their shape.
- Chill to Set: Place the formed bites on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to firm up properly.
Notes
Adjust consistency by adding more nut butter or syrup if too crumbly. For quick preparation, use a food processor for a no-cook blender method, or press into an 8×8 inch pan for bars. Dietary swaps include adding protein powder for a boost, using sugar-free sweeteners, substituting honey for vegan options, and using sunflower seed butter for a nut-free version.
