Equipment
- 1 Food Processor
- 1 Small Cookie Scoop
- 1 Mini Muffin Tin
Ingredients
- 1-¾ Cups rolled oats
- ¾ Cup dried fruit ¼ Cup each - dates, dried cranberries, and dried apricots
- ¼ Cup coconut sugar
- ¼ Cup unsweetened coconut use flaked or shredded unsweetened coconut
- ¼ Cup puffed rice cereal
- ¼ Cup ground flaxseed
- ¼ Cup pepitas
- ¼ Teaspoon fine sea salt
- ¼ Teaspoon baking soda
- ⅓ Cup melted butter
- ¼ Cup brown rice syrup
- 1 Teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Start by preheating the oven to 350°F. Next, grease a 24-well mini muffin pan. Use butter or a non-stick spray.
- Add 1 cup of the rolled oats to a food processor. Process on high until the flour turns into a fine oat flour, which takes approximately 3 minutes.
- Add the rest of the dry ingredients - the remaining oats, dried fruit, sugar, shredded coconut, puffed rice cereal, ground flax, pumpkin seeds, salt, and baking soda - to the food processor with the oat flour. Process until the fruit and seeds have broken down into small pieces.
- Add in the wet ingredients - melted butter, brown rice syrup, and vanilla extract. Pulse until everything is combined. This only takes 4-5 pulses.
- Portion the oat mixture into the prepared pan using a tablespoon-sized cookie scoop. There should be the exact amount to fill all 24 wells. Press firmly down on the oat mixture in the wells. This will ensure they are compact and won't crumble after baking.
- Pop the muffin tin into the oven and bake for 10-12 minutes. Check after 10 minutes for the tops to start to turn golden brown.
- Remove the pan from the oven and let the bites cool in the pan. This takes 10-15 minutes. Once cooled, pop the bites out of the wells.
