These Aussie bites taste just like the ones from Costco but are sugar free!

Homemade Aussie bites on a white background.

Have you ever tried those absolutely amazing and addictive Aussie bites from Costco? They used to be a treat I would buy whenever I was there in the days before I did Trim Healthy Mama.

The ingredient list looked so ‘healthy’, right? In reality, those Aussie bites have a lot of concentrated carbs that can spike your blood sugar. So I came up with a version that has all the flavor but without the unhealthy blood sugar spike that leads to cravings and never feeling satiated.

This recipe is a crossover but don’t let that scare you!

If you are in weight loss mode, you probably will want to be careful how many crossovers you eat. It is fine to do a crossover here and there to shake up your metabolism, but you don’t want them to be a regular thing while you are losing weight.

Aussie bites stacked on top of each other.

However, once you have hit goal weight, did you know that it is actually recommended to eat as many crossovers as you can without gaining weight? You don’t have to be afraid of them, especially if you eat them wisely and don’t do a lot of heavy fats and the maximum amount of carbs together all the time. Add in fats to a carb meal, or carbs to a fat meal, but no need to go hog wild.

Some of us will be able to eat a lot of crossovers, and some of us will have to be more careful. It is up to you to find your sweet spot. I used to think I couldn’t eat many crossovers without gaining weight, but maybe that was a old diet mentality hanging on. I’m finding I can have more than I thought I could. I usually do about two crossovers a week, sometimes I do all crossovers for a bit if I am very active [camping, hiking, kayaking etc.]

Crossovers are also ideal for children and men, and if you have young adults in your family who are trying to lose weight, they will most likely do fine with more crossovers in weight loss mode than you yourself might do.

1 cup oats, ground into flour

¾ cup whole oats

¼ cup xylitol

3 tablespoons finely chopped dried apricots

  1. Mix all the ingredients together.
  2. Spray 24 mini muffin cups with oil and divide the batter between them, packing it down fairly firmly with the back of a spoon.
  3. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 17-20 minutes or until starting to turn golden and firm to the touch. Let cool completely in the pans before removing them.
  4. To remove, turn the pans over and tap gently and they should fall out. You can also run a knife around the edges of each muffin cup first.

    Does the xylitol help with consistency or is it purely for sweetening?
    I don’t have a sweet tooth and would love to omit this, but don’t want to ruin the texture.

      It is just for sweetening!

    What would be the best substitution for xylitol? I don’t have that in the house because we have a dog.

      You could use erythritol or another low carb sweetener like monk fruit. Just make sure it is a 1:1 substitute for sugar.
