Press the biscuit mixture firmly into the base of the tin. Add the melted butter and mix to combine. Crush the biscuits until they resemble fine crumbs. Grease and line an 18X28cm slice tray with baking paper and set aside. The end result is 2g of fibre and only 2 tsp of sugar per piece. Preheat oven to 160 degrees celsius (fan-forced). I decreased the sugar and the butter and instead added some milk. This recipe has wholemeal flour, some of which was substituted out for oats, to boost the fibre. These foods are still treated as ‘sometimes’ foods, especially when chatting to the kids, however if I can add in some whole foods, boost the fibre, decrease the sugar, decrease the saturated fat and still keep the same amount of yumminess then… winner! It’s just about making an effort to use as many meals and snacks as I can as an opportunity for nourishment. It’s not about changing the food so I can eat more of it or eat it more often. One of the things I like to do, is tweak traditional recipes and boost their healthiness. I cut the Weet Bix slice into 12 pieces.I used to have weet-bix slice in my lunch box when I was a kid! Gosh it was delicious! There’s nothing quite like homemade slice! There is nothing wrong with a small piece of slice, every now and then, but due to it’s high energy density (mostly from lots of sugar and butter) and low amounts of nutrition, it’s not a food that should take a prime position in the diet.It will take an hour or so to set fully, then you can cut it into pieces for the lunchbox.Then sprinkle coconut on top and allow to set.I used a spatula to spread the icing evenly across the slice.Pour in milk and stir to create a thickish icing.Sift cocoa and icing sugar into a bowl (I didn't and had to work to get the lumps out, better to sift it first!). You can actually ice this slice when it is warm though and I kept it in slice tray, so it was easier to do.
