Are you a Weet-Bix kid? Many of us have grown up eating Weet-Bix for breakfast, but there are also a wide variety of other recipes that you can use them in too. They are a good source of fibre and low in sugar, so they are a healthy addition to any recipe. Our family have tried and tested many Weet-Bix recipes and keep coming back to these, below. These are
our family favs, we hope they become yours too...
Everyone in our family loves this recipe as it is chocolatey and tastes much naughtier than it is. I also love to make it in summer as I don't need to put on the oven - you have to love that!
1/ Raw Date & Weet-Bix Slice
Ingredients:
5 Weet-Bix
1 cup dates
1/2 cup unsalted cashews (or sunflower seeds)
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
4 Tablespoons cocoa
2 Tablespoons honey (plus one extra squirt it the mixture isn't forming)
2 Tablespoons water
Icing:
50g milk choc buds
Desiccated coconut
Combine all the main ingredients in a food processor for a couple of minutes until it looks like it is sticking together (if it looks too crumbly, add a squirt of honey into the top). Meanwhile, line a
loaf tin with baking paper and then spoon the mixture in, pressing down firmly. Melt the choc buds in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring each time, until completely melted. Spread over slice. Sprinkle with desiccated coconut. Set in fridge for at least 2 hours before slicing. Makes 10 small squares.
2/ Weet-Bix Overnight Oats
In each individual glass add (in order):
1/3 cup vanilla yoghurt
2 Tablespoons oats
1 Tablespoon milk
7 frozen raspberries
1/2 crushed Weet-Bix
2 Tablespoons vanilla yoghurt
When served: Honey & fresh raspberries for decoration
Cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight until ingredients are soft. To serve, drizzle with honey and add fresh raspberries.
* This recipe was a result of trial-and-error for these parfait glasses below, so you may need to play around with the amount of ingredients for the bowl or glass that you use.
I got this recipe below, from a New Zealand friend who said this was a favourite slice recipe growing up in the South Island. It soon became a favourite in our household too!
3/ Lemon Weet-Bix Slice
Ingredients:
150g margarine
1 and 1/2 cups of crushed Weet-Bix
1 and 1/2 cups of self-raising flour
3/4 cup of caster sugar
1/2 cup of coconut
1/2 cup raisins
2 Tablespoon lemon juice for cake
1 and 1/2 cups of icing sugar mixture
Extra lemon juice for icing
Preheat oven to 180 degrees. Line a rectangle baking tin with baking paper. In a mixing bowl combine the Weet-Bix, flour, raisins and coconut. Melt margarine in the microwave and pour into the mixing bowl. Add the lemon juice. Combine until ingredients just come together (it looks quite dry). Tip mixture into tray and press down firmly into corners. Bake for 25 minutes until browned (check after 15 minutes). Remove from oven and cool slightly.
Meanwhile, combine the icing sugar mixture and a few tablespoons of lemon juice – keep adding lemon juice/water until it becomes a thick, slightly runny icing. Pour over the warm slice and tilt the tray so it runs into all the corners and melts. Allow it to cool, then remove from tray and cut into squares. Serves 12.
