I love making recipes with Weetbix, like my Overnight Weetbix or Weetbix Smoothie. This recipe is a way to enjoy a childhood favorite in a more health-conscious manner. This slice recipe is made with just basic, wholesome ingredients and can be ready in under 30 minutes. You’ll love it because it is truly delicious, especially if you make the optional chocolate layer. It brings a rich and decadent twist to the crunchy base.
Ingredients and Substitutions
Weetbix – Weetabix or Weetbix “cakes” are the base of the slice. Use gluten-free Weetbix if needed. Medjool Dates – Provides natural sweetness. Other soft dates can be used, but may need soaking. Unsweetened Cocoa Powder – Cocoa powder adds chocolate flavor. Cacao powder can be used for a raw option. Water – Water helps bind the ingredients. Adjust amount as needed for consistency. Dark Chocolate Chips – For the chocolate shell. Choose cocoa percentage based on preference, I like anything over 70%. Coconut Oil – Coconut oil helps the chocolate shell set. Can be omitted if preferred. Desiccated Coconut – Adds texture and flavor. It can be replaced with chopped nuts. Vanilla Extract – Enhances overall flavor. Can be omitted or replaced with other extracts.
How to Make No-Bake Weetbix Slice
Making this recipe is really easy as all it takes is blending and pressing the batter in a pan.
Expert Tips
For a firmer texture, refrigerate the base before adding the chocolate layer. Experiment with different add-ins like chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for variety. To make cutting easier, dip your knife in hot water between slices. For a protein boost, add a scoop of your favorite pea or peanut protein powder to the mixture. Try using different types of Weetbix, like fruit-flavored varieties, for a twist on the classic. For a more indulgent treat, drizzle with peanut butter or almond butter before setting. These slices freeze well, so consider making a double batch for future snacks.
