Gluten-free Apple and Raisin Weet-Bix Slice

Apple Raisin Weetbix Slice
Gluten-free Apple Raisin Weetbix Slice

Well, y’know, it had to happen. I mean, it was pretty momentous when Gluten Free Weet-Bix was launched in Australia just a few months ago. You could just about hear the collective cheers from gluten-free folk across the nation. There was certainly a great celebration in our household and amongst the extended Coeliac family members.

So it was only a matter of time before I worked out how to put my daughter’s new favourite breakfast cereal into her lunchbox.

Actually, on discovering that it tastes much the same as standard Weet-Bix and it behaves in a similar way (it absorbs milk beautifully and goes all mooshy), I was reminded of a slice that a friend of mine used to bake when our eldest kids were toddlers. It always stuck in my mind that it was a bit of a genius idea to use Weet-Bix in that way. I didn’t ask for the recipe for some reason, but I’ve attempted to recreate it here. To be honest, I’m not sure how close I’ve come, but I can tell you that my kids went crazy for this the first time I made it.

The second time I made it, I forgot to add the sugar. No matter. The kids devoured it again. So, my advice is to leave out the sugar – the apple and the raisins do a great job as sweetener – nothing more is needed. This recipe includes a little sugar as optional, but if you can gradually reduce it and eventually eliminate it, even better.

This slice has been a great success as a recess-time and after-school snack.

Enjoy!

Ingredients

100 g  Gluten Free Weet-Bix, crushed (approximately 6 Gluten Free Weet-Bix)

140 g peeled, cored and grated apple (approximately 2 apples)

80 g raisins

20 g brown sugar (optional)

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 eggs, lightly beaten

70 g melted butter

Method

Preheat oven to 180° Celsius (conventional oven) or 160° Celsius (fan-forced oven). Grease and line a square 20 x 20 cm cake tin.

Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Pour into cake tin and press mixture down with the back of a spoon until base is evenly covered and mixture is firmly packed.

Bake for 25 minutes.

When cool, trim edges and cut into 4 cm squares.

Makes approximately 22 squares.

      Hi Maureen, I’ve cooked this recipe many times and it’s always worked fine for me. But because all ovens are different, try increasing the baking time by 5 or 10 minutes. Hope it works out!
