Weetbix Slice

[snappy]

I love this slice so I have tried to 'healthify' it for the kids  and me.  I'll post the amendment in case anyone else is interested (yep I know unlikely - why make mess with something so yum!)

I added about 1/4 cup of chia seeds and 1/4 cup crio bru (instead of using cocoa) in with the weetbix and ground them up. Set aside.  Used rapadura instead of sugar.

Instead of using all refined white flour, I used 1/4 cup oats and 1/4 cup quinoa flakes and again ground them up to a powder.  I then used 1/2 cup white flour.

I reduced the butter to 100g and added and egg.  I also added in some walnuts for extra crunch. 

The batter tasted yummy and its in the oven now.  I will let you know if it's a success after I taste it tonight.

This slice seems very  similar to this one which is also delicious.

When we had no cornflakes we used rolled oats. It was ok but drier.

I would also be keen to make your variation Snappy. I'm looking forward to hearing the verdict!

[droverjess]

I think it is a similar version of one I poosted with different cereals.

Ooooooo sounds divine. Thx for sharing. Kinda sounds like run balls but in a slice.

This is yummy, thanks for the recipe Amanda!

I did use shredded wheat instead of Weetbix, and I added sultanas and some slivered almonds. Also I didn't ice it because of SD's diabetes

i agree with Amy , thanks for a very easy  recipe Amanda
