What can I do with Weetabix?

I used to have a recipe for a tea loaf made with Weetabix and dried fruit. It was lovely and moist. Unfortunately I don't have it now but I'm sure someone out there still has it.

Well if you cut some banana up and add it to the weetabix it end up being quite a nice biscuit.

My sister used to put jam on them and have them with a cup of tea

Or you could crumble them and add sugar and use as a crumble

Good for you for not wanting to waste food!!

I'm intrigued Absent as I know you're a good cook, so why lightly beaten egg?

Feed it to the birds.

I enjoy one Weetabix every morning topped with goji berries, seeds, chopped almonds, sliced banana, raspberries, blueberries, a dab of honey and soy milk. I feel it is a healthy start to the day. Unfortunately I go downhill as the day progresses probably ending up with wine and crisps by the evening!

My son-in-law who is incredibly fit and is an Iron Man eats at least 6 Weetabix in every sitting so my difficulty is ensuring that I buy enough boxes when he comes to visit!

Isn't it funny how our tastes differ - I just love weetabix and shredded wheat whereas my DH prefers the sweeter types and would eat sugar puffs and coco pops (if I let him)!

lightly beaten egg.

Crush them and mix with grated carrots, grated onion and lisghtly beaten egg, then shape into veggie burgers.

so it was phoenix

I also used to eat Weetabix spread with butter - still quite like them that way.

Horrible stuff. Not for human consumption!
I'd agree with wheniwasyourage - use it mixed with water to fill holes in your walls. Or add it to acrylic paint for a lovely textured finish to your art.

wheniwas I also have memories of chiseling Weetabix out of my children's hair, back of the ears etc.

phoenix It was Shredded Wheat

nina I think the ad to which you refer was for shredded wheat, not weetabix?

Same here Gracesgran; nice and crunchy with butter and marmalade or raspberry jam topped with mashed banana.

I have a weta box cake recipe. I'll find it and post it.

We used to get a bit of butter on a few Shreddies as a special treat. I really miss Shreddies since I've been boycotting Nestlé!

Whatever you do, don't add it to milk and then put it in your hair! How many GNers can remember trying to get Weetabix out of babies' hair? I always felt that it should have some industrial application, possibly as a type of adhesive or a mortar, but never heard of that happening. Unless it just comes in a different wrapping on building sites, of course.

Were we the only family that did this? As a child we used to have them buttered - like toast I suppose. I even had marmalade on mine.

I have added them to crumble topping, yummy !

According to the old add nobody can eat three Weetabix. My 5yr old DGS can eat 4 [smiile]

Bet the birds won't eat it. #fussybuggers

I give it to my dog..he needs fibre now, so I mix it with chopped courgette and Lidl dogmeat. He loves it which is good cos I hate the stuff .. only buy it when the DGCs are coming.

Give them to the birds?

When the children were little they had to make a thatched cottage. We dutifully got some straw and it was laid lovingly on the top of the roof. Most other people used weetabix or shredded wheat

That's a great idea Phoenix I'm going to try it in the next crumble.
Quite like them dry with Nutella on top.

Combine it with other things as a crumble topping?

Mind you, that would be a hell of a lot of crumble!

Scrunch it up and mix with fruit and yogurt?
