Ingredients for Aussie Bites

• Oats
• Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 cup packed light brown sugar

How to Make Aussie Bites

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a mini-muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
2. In a large bowl, whisk together 2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 cup packed light brown sugar, 1 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon.
3. In a separate bowl, melt 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 1/2 cup honey in the microwave or on the stovetop. Stir until smooth and well combined. (Consider reducing butter to 1/2 cup for a lighter version).
4. In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 2 tablespoons hot water.
5. Add the dissolved baking soda to the melted butter and honey mixture. Stir well.
6. Gradually pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
7. Fill each mini-muffin cup about ¾ full. Slightly flatten the tops with a spatula or spoon.
8. Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
9. Let the Aussie Bites cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
