Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 sheets Weetbix (crushed)
- 1 large Banana (ripe, mashed)
- 60 ml Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp Honey (or maple syrup for a vegan option)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 0.5 tsp Cinnamon (ground)
- 2 tbsp Dried fruit (e.g., raisins, chopped dates, or cranberries, optional)
- 1 tbsp Dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, crush the Weetbix sheets into fine crumbs using your hands or a rolling pin.
Add the mashed banana, unsweetened almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and cinnamon to the crushed Weetbix. Mix thoroughly until a sticky dough forms.
If using dried fruit or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the dough at this stage.
Scoop out small portions of the dough (about 1 tablespoon each) and roll them into bite-sized balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking tray, leaving a little space between each bite.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the bites are firm and lightly golden on the outside.
Remove from the oven and allow the Weetbix Bites to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the bites in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days, or in the fridge for a longer shelf life.
