    We have some minis we dont like as cereal, will they taste OK as a cake, otherwise the birds will have a feast

    Hello CCstar

    just to let you know that I finally used my weetabix minis and made the chocolate brownies, but not the cake (wiil do that next). Thanks to thriftlady I adapated the weetabix brownie recipe (added one or two more to take into account the weight of the fruit in the minis) and I cannot believe how lthe good they were... They disappared so fast that that that I did not have a chance to really taste them! Must be all the added fruit and nut in the weetabix minis. So OH is forgiven sort of for buying them :rotfl:

    I've made 4 of these cakes today ( I've got 4 loaf tins that I use for bread ).
    I put in 1 cup each of coconut, dried apricots, sunflower seeds and chocolate - so there was a quarter of cup of each in each cake instead of 1 cup of sultanas. Result - very nice :D

    BTW I've frozen 3 of them ;)

    I think I am going to give this a go! In another of OH's fads to find out his ideal breakfast, we have a small box of weetabix half eaten currently going to waste!! There is also 3/4 of a box of muesli going to waste, so any ideas will be appreciated!!

    I'm not a sultana fan, so will try it with chocolate chips instead - hope it works out OK!

    The cake was a big success! There's only one crust left now so I'd better get baking.

    I've just made the weetabix cake, but used coconut as I had no dried fruit. I'ts absolutely lovely.
    As for the museli, Ive used it in flapjacks & anzac biscuits & both were fine.

    It is lovely

    I used some mini Weetabix with nut and raisin that wasn't liked as cereal

    It is like a bread cake. Very chewy, hard and filling

    The smell was divine in the house whilst it cooked

    We used half the sugar too and it was sweet enough

    Will try the chocolate version next
