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
