No Bake Weet-Bix Slice

What you'll need:

• 4 weetbix
• 1 cup of cashews
• 1.5 x cups of frozen mixed berries
• ½ cup of desiccated coconut
• ¼ tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 tsb hemp seeds

What to do:

• To elevate the flavour in this slice, toast the coconut and the cashew first, either in the oven on a tray or on the stove top in a pan. Be mindful to stir them often so they don't burn. This step should only take 5-10 minutes.
• Allow to cool before popping it all in the food processor.
• If it is too thick add 1-2 tbs water.
• Spread into a lined brownie tray and press down.
• Sprinkle oats, coconut or sesame on top if you like.
• Store in the fridge and allow to fully cool before cutting.
• It can be stored in the freezer too!

Storage Instructions

Keep the slice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. It also freezes well — slice first, then freeze the pieces so you can grab one at a time. Defrost in the fridge before serving.

Nutrition Notes

Weet-Bix brings iron and fibre, the cashews add protein and healthy fats, and the berries offer antioxidants and natural sweetness — all with no added sugar. The hemp seeds sneak in a little extra protein and good fats too.

Parent Tip

Because the cashews and berries can be a little firm, this slice suits babies who are confidently managing soft, slightly chewy textures — usually around 9–10 months. Always offer it while seated and supervised.

Frequently Asked Questions

From what age is this slice suitable?

It's best from around 9–10 months as the texture is soft but a little chewy. As always, be guided by your little one — some manage this earlier and others a little later.

It contains nuts — is that okay for babies?

Ground or blended nuts like the cashews here are a great way to include nuts safely once introduced. Whole or large nut pieces are a choking hazard, so always blend them as the recipe describes.

Can I make it nut free?

Yes — swap the cashews for extra desiccated coconut plus a sunflower seed butter, keeping the slice nut free while holding it together.
