what is Weetabix?
They are whole grain wheat cereal biscuits, commonly advertised for breakfast. So, in essence they are cereal biscuits which have a rectangular shape.
They are commonly used for breakfast or snacking. However, you can also use them for making Weetabix cakes like this one.
how many SYNS is a slice of Weetabix cake?
If you are on this programme or a weight watchers programme, this cake is a fantastic recipe to keep. It contains a lot of fibre and provides an excellent amount of energy.
In terms of syns per serving, a cake like this one will contain approximately 5.5 syns per slice. This is because of the sugar and the raisins.
slimming world Weetabix cake
However, you can easily alter this recipe to make it a Weetabix cake slimming world recipe.
For instance, to reduce the syn value, use skimmed milk. Instead of sugar, you can use liquid or granulated sweeteners. They are widely available.
Moreover, if you're using oil or butter for the pan so that your edges don't burn, instead of using 1 tsp of oil for the pan, use a low-calorie cooking spray. Just imagine, 1 tsp of oil contains 2 syns. This alternative to 1 tsp of oil or butter will lower your syn value.
how many syns now?
Now, after these modifications, your syn value should come down to 3.5.
can you freeze Weetabix cake?
Yes, you can freeze it. It's a freezer friendly slimming world cake. So just place the whole thing in a freezer container or place separate slices inside a freezer-friendly bag. Store up to 3 months.
