Warm soggy weetabix might not be your thing, but these snack balls take the best of my breakfast bowl flavours and turn them into a delicious alternative to standard fruit and nut energy balls. I suspect you do need to like weetabix to enjoy them but I found apple and vanilla to be the dominant flavours. I made them for snacking, but if you were short on time, they could even step in as breakfast on the go.
Whilst I made these with cashews, any nuts would work. Similarly, I used sultanas but raisins or dates would be other dried fruit options.

Do you have any favourite breakfast-inspired snacks?
As warm milk over weetbix with brown sugar was one of my favourite winter brekkie's I could imagine I might like this - sounds like a fun idea and a good way to eat up sylvia's weetbix that linger - was unsure until I saw the recipe if you cooked them or not!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely not cooked, but now you mention it, that could well work! It's always nice to know others like warm weetabix too :-)
DeleteI haven't had weetabix in a long while, it was my fave when i was a child and unlike Johanna, i preferred it with cold milk then. These do sound quite appealing and may make a nice change from the flapjacks
ReplyDeleteThere is room for them and flapjacks I reckon ;)
DeleteHmmm weetabix is something different here - they are crunchy breakfast like bars made of wheat. These actually sound much more appetizing ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd snack balls are always up my alley! These sound great.
Thanks so much for sharing at Healthy Vegan Fridays - I'm pinning & sharing.
Hope you're having a great day Kari!
They're the same here :-) I just took the bars and whizzed them up!
DeleteThese sound delish. I love the smell of soggy weetbix.
ReplyDeleteMe too :D
DeleteI love soggy weetbix. This post makes me all nostalgic... I haven't bought any in ages (mainly because I don't get to choose the cereals anymore) but I might just put my foot down. Yum
ReplyDeleteYou can never have too many cereals in my view, so add weetabix to your mix!
DeleteI've never used weetabix before. Actually I've never tried it. This is such a cool idea to use it as a base for balls. I love trying new energy balls so I'm totally trying these soon!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
