JD - I've eaten this  2 different ways.  A slice with butter and as a dessert for lunch with custard.  Thanks Uni, nice one.

Denzelmum - Super easy and super moist.  I put dried apricot and dates.  Two people asked for recipe.  Thanks Fundj!

I wish it was easy to find Weetabix here. 
It's possible to order it online but I have gotten some that was rather stale so I gave up on it.

We have shredded wheat but it is not the same.

Mmmm. I may have to buy a small packet of weetbix when we go into Shark Bay next week. Morning tea and dessert all in one.

May all dairy items in your fridge be of questionable vintage.

Andie would you like me to send you a small box of Weetbix - it couldn't possibly go stale in the week that it would take to get to you.  Just pm me your address if you want one.

Thanks for the offer Judy.  However, I don't think I will need it as after I posted that yesterday, I got an email from a visitor,( probably someone I recommended to the forum because they have my email address) with a source for an almost identical cereal product made by Quaker.
I haven't seen it in my local supermarkets but my informant says the local health food store carries it.

Hooray!

Just weighed some Denzelmum - bit difficult with hard butter but it's around about 45g.

kerryn you can use 1 small banana mashed or 1/4 cup apple or prune puree and will have to add an extra 1/2 tsp baking powder per egg replaced. Some of the stranger things as a replacement are 3 tblspns mayonnaise or a 1/4 cup silken tofu.
