A Weetbix slice is a common recipe for children here in Australia. A chocolate Weetbix slice is usually made with golden syrup but not my vegan healthy Weetbix slice.

My healthy weetbix slice is vegan as well as nut-free and refined sugar-free. The perfect recipe for school lunchboxes!

As a nutritionist and mother Weetbix is one of the only packet cereals I am okay serving to my children.

They are pretty low in sugar, high in fibre and are iron-fortified. They can be a great source of iron for vegan and vegetarian children.

Being a no cook weetbix slice this is a very easy and quick recipe to make. All you need is a food processor and a loaf baking tin to make my healthy weetbix slice.

It is a good recipe to make with children as well to get them involved in the kitchen. My twins loved helping me make this choc weetbix slice!

It keeps for the week in an air-tight container in the fridge.

Since creating this healthy weetbix slice my twins request it very often in their lunchboxes!

Substitutions:

If you cannot eat gluten I recommend trying this healthy chocolate weetbix slice with gluten-free weetbix and if you cannot find weetbix/weetabix you can try using 1 cup of corn flakes or other breakfast cereals. (I recommend using low sugar/low sodium breakfast cereals).

I used tahini in the recipe so if you cannot have tahini you could substitute for peanut, cashew or almond butter.
