Weetbix slice has been around forever, it’s not a new recipe but it’s made it to the blog as we make ours a little healthier than the original.

We use rapadura sugar which is wholefood type of sugar, and we use a mix of butter and coconut oil.  If you’re dairy free you can use 100% coconut oil.  This recipe is also great for those that are egg free!

Considering there are no nuts it’s great for lunchboxes and it freezes really well.

Just one thing, make sure you get a preservative-free coconut, otherwise, you’ll be eating sulphur dioxide and you don’t want that!
