Weetbix are a popular breakfast cereal here in Australia and if you don’t use them up straight away, they tend to sit back in the pantry, taking up valuable space. They always leave a lot of crumbs in the bottom of the pack which are good used up in baking.
Weetbix are an Aussie breakfast favourite that most of us grew up on. Its one of the first solids you give babies here in Australia. My son absolutely loves them, as do I. Trouble is, me with my Mummy brain I forget that I’ve already got a box at home and buy another. At last count I have one and half of the BIG family size boxes in the pantry. We’d be eating Weetbix for breakfast for the next two years if I don’t come up with some other ways to use them up. Here’s a few I do regularly plus a few others I’m going to try.
- hot or cold with honey, sugar, fresh fruit and milk for breakfast (or any time of the day really)
- buttered with Vegemite or jam as a snack
- crushed and used to thicken soups, stews, sausage rolls, sweet or savoury pies, rissoles (hamburgers), meatballs, fish cakes
- use crumbs for cheesecake base, no bake slices

(*) In the USA, Wheaties or Bran Flakes would be a suitable substitute.
This makes me want to come to Australia just for the weetbix! Looks great!

Lemon Jelly? Yum! I'm your latest follower from the Let's Get Social Hop.
Pinning this post ! I practically live on Weetbix when dieting {no diet for a while now..lol} but I still love my Weetbix! Do you also have the mini Weetbix and the flavored ones? Thanks Anne 🙂
I love these recipes, I have made a good weetbix slice for the kids for ages! I have only ever made a chocolate slice but the lemon jelly one looks awesome. I think I will try the orange one as a back to school treat for the littlies

What did we ever do without weetbix? 😉
