How To Make Weetabix Bites
The full recipe with all the ingredient measurements is towards the bottom of this post. But I've also included some step by step images here that might be helpful when making.
- Add the weetabix, oats and seeds to a food processor and blitz.
- Add the peanut butter, milk, honey and cocoa powder and blitz again.
- Take one tablespoon of the mixture.
- Roll into a ball shape and repeat until you have 16 bites.
One you have rolled all 16 bites, place them in the fridge for 45 minutes or in the freezer for 20 minutes to firm up.
Storing
These Weetabix will keep in the fridge for up to 5 days.
They can also be frozen for up to 2 weeks. They can be eaten straight from the freezer - they do not freeze solid so can eat frozen. Or allow them to defrost at room temperature for an hour if you prefer them soft.
FAQ'S
Yes you can use Wow Butter which is a soya based alternative, completely nut free but tastes like peanut butter.
No I don't think these bites taste like weetabix at all. So even if your kids don't like weetabix as a cereal, they may enjoy these.
Yes absolutely. You can use a dairy free milk in this recipe.
I have a similar recipe, these Biscoff Oat Bites, which don't contain Weetabix.
