    Only 4 ingredients are needed to make these easy mix and easy bake weetbix banana cinnamon cookies. Kid friendly, perfect for the lunchbox!

    When you're at the shops and your child declares "I love weetbix, I want them for breakfast"...you should possibly by a small packet so as to test the theory. Not the world's biggest box. I bought that box. And she ate them, ONCE. Therefore there are about 6000 weetbix left in the box. So here is one of the ways I've been getting rid of them, in 4 ingredient weetbix banana cinnamon cookies.

    snack time?

    These cookies are so easy to make they could be done in your sleep. And they are so crunchy and yummy that the kids don't have to know that they contain weetbix. Which is a great thing if your child now thinks they are toxic and revolting and can't even look at the box without gagging.

    that's it! easy and yummy.

    I remember when I was growing up, I used to have weetbix for breakfast. But I just to put warm milk on them and brown sugar. It was a fine line between crunchy and soggy though, and I could never let them cross that line or I wouldn't eat them!

    These little cookies freeze well, are just the right amount of chewy and are so simple to make. You need a food processor, oven and about 20 minutes...and you're done! So quick. The kids enjoy dropping the ingredients into the food processor...and my daughter watches the transformation from solid objects into smush.

    These are drop cookies, no shaping, no rolling, just whack (with a little care) onto the lined baking tray and watch them transform from weetbix...into delicious little cookies! They freeze really well and are perfect for the lunchbox!

    Aside from the perfect combination of banana and cinnamon, apple is also a perfect pair of cinnamon. Try these recipes below as my proof:

    • Apple and cinnamon hot cross buns

    • Apple cinnamon baked donuts- no added sugar!

      So like, these taste good. But they are NOT cookies. I didn't do cinnamon, and I added chocolate chips. And they are yummy but they look exactly the same going into the oven as they do going out.😅 They're doughy and odd. But they do taste good.

        Hi Amy,
        So here's the thing, THESE ARE COOKIES, when you don't add chocolate chips. Adding chocolate chips would have changed the whole make up of these cookies.
        When cooked as per the recipe, they end up crunchy and yummy and just like a cookie. There aren't enough dry ingredients in the recipe to deal with the addition of chocolate chips.

        Hi Stella,
        I find the fridge is best for storing these.

        You could try apple sauce, but I haven't tested it with it. Whenever my babies were constipated we ate kiwi fruit- it just seems to open everything up. 🤣

      What a great cookie! So quick and easy! My 2.5yr old loved it! Also great fibre ingredients used too. I did everything the recipe said and read the reviews so used a medium banana and 5 west bix and got a soft on the inside and slightly hard on the outside cookie. I personally would have wanted it in the oven a bit more but my 2.5yr old loved it as it. Ate about 5 tsp size cookies in a go!

      Hello. I followed your recipe exactly but the cookies didn’t turn out crunchy. In fact, they were soft in the center. How big is your weetbix? Perhaps different countries have different sizes of weetbix?

        Hi, I had the same problem and tried the recipe again with half the amount of weetbix (so with 3 biscuits, and I'm Perth, Australia). They turned out much better. Crunchy and quite hard on the outside but soft/chewy in the middle. I did also turn the oven down after 15 minutes (to 160C) and leave them for about 15-20 min longer.

        I did this both times and it also improved the first batch (when I tried the first, 6 weetbix batch, after 15 min they were the stodgiest thing I'd ever tasted, although my 2 year old did like them 😂 )

        So, in summary: turning the oven down and leaving them for longer does help make them more crunchy, but halving the weetbix had more impact, I'm pretty sure.

      I tried to make this but it’s not crunchy. Is there something I did wrong?

        It might have been your cooking time or oven temp?

        They refrigerate for a couple of days but they also freeze really well.

      Hi there, what egg substitute would work best for this recipe?
      Thanks.

        You could try an extra banana or even a chia egg. I haven't tried it with an egg substitute.

          I have just tried the recipe substituting the egg with an extra banana and it turned out great. I also added a spoonful of coconut and a drizzle of honey. Yum!
