A copycat recipe for Homemade Aussie Bites that uses the same list of ingredients as on the package. It’s a true copycat and the best one you’ll find!

 

This recipe has been in the works for quite a while. One of my favorite free samples at Costco is the Aussie Bites. They are so stinkin’ delicious, but boy are they expensive. I may or may not sneak back for second and third samples. I’d been salivating over them for far too long so I embarked on making my own copycat version at home.

I took a picture of the ingredient list on the box and went to work. After a few attempts, I’ve finally settled on a version that seems to match the original. The funny part is my husband hates apricots and we both hate raisins so the ingredient list actually seemed kind of scary. I tried substitutions and leaving out the raisins, but just trust me when I say you need them. For once, raisins don’t ruin everything!

These bites are full of good healthy stuff and are super easy to make in a food processor. If you want, you can substitute melted coconut oil for the butter and canola oil. It’ll be different than the original, but it still tastes great.

Watch the video to see exactly how these are made, including some tips and tricks to help you along the way. I have a whole YouTube Channel where you can check out my cooking show. I have hundreds of restaurant quality recipes you can easily make at home, all right there in video form.

Notes

*You can also use uncooked quinoa. Cooked gives a softer texture, but if you don't have cooked quinoa lying around, no need to whip up a batch. Uncooked works too!
