Our Thermomix Weet-Bix Balls are nut-free, freezer-friendly and a great option for school or kindergarten lunch boxes!
Like most Australian families, we usually have a box of Weet-Bix sitting in our cupboard.
I'm personally not a massive fan of Weet-Bix for breakfast (unlike the rest of my family!), but I do really like them in baking.
And these Thermomix Weet-Bix Balls are the perfect way to use up any Weet-Bix you have sitting around (including all the crumbs at the bottom of the box!).
These only take a few minutes to prepare! Just like our Apricot Balls, these Weet-Bix Balls and are a popular option in school lunchboxes.

Expert Tips
- you can use currants or sultanas - however, I find that currants are easier when rolling the mixture.
- if your mixture is too crumbly to roll into firm balls, add a little extra water and mix again.
- once you've added the currants to the bowl, ensure that you mix on REVERSE so that the blades don't chop the currants.
- if serving to children under 1 year of age, omit the honey.
- store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week.
