JD - I've eaten this  2 different ways.  A slice with butter and as a dessert for lunch with custard.  Thanks Uni, nice one.

Denzelmum - Super easy and super moist.  I put dried apricot and dates.  Two people asked for recipe.  Thanks Fundj!

I wish it was easy to find Weetabix here. 
It's possible to order it online but I have gotten some that was rather stale so I gave up on it.

We have shredded wheat but it is not the same.

Mmmm. I may have to buy a small packet of weetbix when we go into Shark Bay next week. Morning tea and dessert all in one.

Andie would you like me to send you a small box of Weetbix - it couldn't possibly go stale in the week that it would take to get to you.  Just pm me your address if you want one.

Thanks for the offer Judy.  However, I don't think I will need it as after I posted that yesterday, I got an email from a visitor,( probably someone I recommended to the forum because they have my email address) with a source for an almost identical cereal product made by Quaker.
I haven't seen it in my local supermarkets but my informant says the local health food store carries it.

Hooray!

Just weighed some Denzelmum - bit difficult with hard butter but it's around about 45g.

kerryn you can use 1 small banana mashed or 1/4 cup apple or prune puree and will have to add an extra 1/2 tsp baking powder per egg replaced. Some of the stranger things as a replacement are 3 tblspns mayonnaise or a 1/4 cup silken tofu.
