While I love the taste of Costco Aussie bites I don’t love the canola oil and refined sugars in them, so I aimed to make my own version with fewer ingredients!

I first started by melting ¼ cup coconut oil (ghee or butter would also work) over medium heat with ¼ cup raw unrefined honey. While that melted, I blended 1 ½ cup oats in a blender to make oat flour. I only had steel cut oats on hand but I would definitely recommend using regular old fashion and not steel cut. Once the oil/honey mixture melted I added ½ cup peanut butter and stirred until creamy. Next came in the oat flour, additional ½ cup oats, 1 tsp baking soda, and salt, to the liquid mixture. You may need to add more peanut butter if the consistency seems too dry for your preference.

Next, I pressed the oats into a muffin tin and baked on 400F for 12 minutes. To my surprise they actually turned out pretty good!! I pressed the middle down while still hot so they would create a little bowl for yummy toppings like yogurt, fruit, and nut butter.

Recipe:

• ¼ Cup unrefined coconut oil
• ¼ Cup honey
• ½ Cup peanut butter
• 1 ½ Cup oat flour
• ½ Cup oats
• 1 Tsp baking soda
• Dash salt

Next time would add 1 Tbsp Cinnamon, 1/4 cup sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup dried cherries to make them more like the actual Aussie bites.

Optional toppings:

• Greek Yogurt
• Raspberries
• Blueberries
• Dark Chocolate
• Banana
• Peanut Butter
