COPYCAT AUSSIE BITES RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Precook the quinoa.
• Combine the butter, apricots, raisins, vanilla, and water in a pot. Heat over medium until the butter is melted. (This softens and moistens the dried fruits so they're easier to blend.)
• Put this mixture into your Blendtec. If you don't have one, you should ;)
• Blend on low for about 8 seconds or until the dried fruits are about the size of grains of rice.
• In a large bowl, combine all the ingredients and stir until fully mixed. (UPDATE: we added an additional 1/4 cup of regular white sugar because these weren't quite sweet enough for our taste.)
• Put tablespoon size scoops into a silicone mini muffin pan. Flatten down the mixture into the muffin pan (important).
• Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes.
• Let cool for 5 minutes before removing.
• Cool completely before storing in a sealed container. (Ours lasted about a month in a sealed plastic container.)
