Carrot Cake Weet-Bix Balls

Ingredients

• 2 Weet-Bix biscuits
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 cup finely grated carrot
• 1-2 tbsp boiled water
• 1-2 tbsp milk

Directions

• Put Weet-Bix, carrot and cinnamon into a bowl.
• Add hot water and milk until the Weet-Bix has softened enough to mix.
• Mix all ingredients together until combined
• Roll into balls. 2 Weet-Bix makes 4 balls.

There is no end to the variation of these you can make! Weetbix works with both sweet and savoury flavours. Other favourites of ours are pumpkin pie (mashed pumpkin + mixed spice), banana bread (mashed banana + nutmeg), raspberry cheesecake (mashed raspberries + ricotta).

Storage Instructions

Best served fresh on the day they are made. Leftovers can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days — they will firm up, so allow them to come to room temperature before serving. These are not ideal for freezing as the texture becomes crumbly.

Nutrition Notes

Weet-Bix is a wholegrain cereal that is fortified with iron and provides fibre, while the grated carrot adds a little extra veg and natural sweetness. Serving alongside a milk feed or a vitamin C–rich fruit can support iron absorption.

Parent Tip

Keep a few flavour combos up your sleeve — pumpkin pie, banana bread and raspberry cheesecake all work beautifully, so you can mix up brekky without a whole new recipe.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make these dairy-free?

Yes — simply use water or a plant-based milk in place of the cow's milk.

Why are my balls falling apart?

Add the liquid a little at a time until the Weet-Bix is soft enough to hold together. Too much liquid makes them too wet to roll.

What age are these suitable for?

We suggest from 9 months, as the sticky texture is easier to manage once oral motor skills are more developed.

Can I prep these ahead?

They are best fresh, but you can make them a few hours ahead and keep them covered in the fridge until snack time.
