Aussie Bites Copycat [+ Video]

Craving the delicious Aussie Bites from Costco? Learn how to make your own copycat version at home with this easy recipe and step-by-step video tutorial. They are such a great healthy snack on the go and now you can make them at home!

We first posted this recipe back in 2016, so it was time for an update! We had a few complaints about them being too dry, so I’ve reworked the recipe and they are perfection! They are the perfect back to school snack as we head back into the school year!

I went to Costco, checked the label and ended up changing a few ingredients. I changed out flaxseed because it was just too annoyingly dry and only use chia seeds and pepitas now. For the butter, I ended up swapping it with coconut oil because I think too much water was evaporating in the hold recipe with the butter. And I thought golden raisins worked a lot better in flavor and moisture than regular raisins as well. So this is the new and improved Costco copycat Aussie Bites recipe!

How to Make Aussie Bites at Home

This is a quick overview of how to make these bites. For all the details, keep scrolling down to the recipe card.

1. Prep: Preheat the oven and spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
   • NOTE: If you don’t have a mini muffin pan, just bake them on a cookie sheet and use a cookie scoop to form them.
2. Blend: Add some of the oats to a blender and pulse them until ground into powder, i.e. oat flour. Place in a large bowl.
3. Pulse: Add the remaining oats and the rest of the dry ingredients to a food processor and pulse until a grainy texture.
4. Mix: Add all the wet ingredients to the food processor and pulse to combine thoroughly. It will become a wet sand texture that will hold together if you squeeze it.
5. Bake: Press the dough mixture into the muffin cups and bake for 10 minutes.
   • NOTE: If you’re using a cookie scoop, scoop out the dough and press it firmly into the scoop before releasing it onto the baking sheet. It will bake for the same amount of time.
6. Cool: This is probably the most critical step of the process, let the bites cool completely in the muffin tin. If you try to pop them out warm, they will fall apart,

These copycat bites are the perfect healthy snack to fuel me through the day and help me avoid the junk and candy.
