I only knew where to look because I'd seen someone ask before

the search doesn't work very well, you need to go through the Indexed Collections at the top of of the forum

You could make chocolate crispies with the left over Fruit and Fibre, as long as it is not soft.

I've made 3 weetabix cakes today! The first was so good I've made another one for the MIL and a third to fill the oven! (I reduced the sugar and added coriander, cinnamon and nutmeg with the second lot - delicious!)

I have made the wheatabix cake ages ago following the recipe which was posted on this forum, however i cannot find it anymore. Does anyone know where to find it please. Also what can i make with the old fruit n fibre. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you.

We have a whole thread on this recipe, so I'll merge the threads to keep ideas together

Hi all, not made the Weetabix cake yet but have made the weetabix chocolate brownies with my grandson (not quite three) and they are so simple and delicious he had a great time making them (got a second batch on already!). Weetabix cake next!!!

Just wanna say thanks for this recipe I have had some minibix lying around for about 6 months now as had a craving when first pregnant (odd as in normal run of things I don't even like cereal) then got sickly and DH doesn't like them! They made a fab Weetabix cake! Mine ended up differing slightly from the recipe in the OP but basis was the same...

4oz mini bix, crushed in the bowl with a rolling pin, then the flour, half the sugar (I used granulated) and some sultanas and chopped glace cherries as the fruit element. I added 2 tbsp black treacle with the milk as I had used white sugar, and 2 tsp mixed spice. It took 1 hour 20 mins to cook in a 1lb loaf tin at 180C/Gas Mark 4. It was def cooked through but had that sort of squichy malt-loafy element to it. I made it yesterday afternoon, and there is about 3 slices worth of it left (and they only haven't been eaten yet cos I have to get some butter when we go shopping later on!) I have a feeling I will be making this most weeks on top of the usual baking

i use this recipe from the GC thread:

2 crushed Weetabix
1 cup of sultanas
2 cups of Self raising flour
1 cup of sugar
Mix these dry ingredients together, then add
1 cup of milk and a teaspoon of mixed spice
Stir again and pour the mix into a greased loaf tin, bake at 325 degrees for about 45 mins.
Its wonderful slightly warm and always with butter/spread.
