Ingredients

Weetbix Base

  • 2 Tbsp chia seeds
  • 4 Tbsp room temperature water
  • 160 g (10) Weetbix crushed
  • 2 Tbsp lemon zest
  • 1/2 cup almond butter
  • 3 Tbsp honey, runny, not solid

Lemon Icing

  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 Tbsp lemon juice

Instructions

Weetbix Base

  • Line a square 9-inch x 9-inch (22cm x 22cm) baking tin with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Place chia seeds in a small jug or bowl.
  • Pour over water, mix with a spoon and set aside to thicken for 5 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, crush up each Weetbix using your hands.
  • Stir through lemon zest.
  • Add almond butter, honey and the soaked chia seeds.
  • Mix together using your hands or a wooden spoon until the Weetbix is coated in the wet ingredients and the mixture sticks together.
  • Press mixture into the lined tin, press it in firmly to create a sturdy base. Set aside.

Lemon Icing

  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, sift in powdered sugar.
  • Pour in lemon juice and whisk until well combined and smooth until no lumps of sugar remain.
  • Pour over the base and spread it out evenly using a rubber spatula or the back of a spoon.
  • Refrigerate for 2-3 hours until the base is firm and the icing is set.
  • Slice into squares, serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use fresh lemon juice & zest: For a zesty and fresh flavor, use freshly squeezed lemon juice instead of bottled lemon juice.
 
  • Firmly press the base into the tin: make sure to pack the base mixture in firmly to ensure a solid and sturdy slice.
 
  • Refrigerate before slicing: for long enough so the base becomes firm and it's easy to cut into squares.
 
  • Store the Weetbix slice in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
 
  • Freeze by wrapping individual slices in plastic wrap and then place them in a ziplock bag or airtight container. Label with the name and date. Freeze for 2-3 months.
 
  • Thaw the Weetbix slice in the refrigerator overnight until soft or at room temperature for several hours before serving.
