Carrot Cake Weet-Bix Balls
We all know that Weet-Bix is one of my favourite breakfasts out there. Its a wholegrain, full of fibre and other important vitamins, and fortified with iron. Its a pretty great allrounder for babies but we know variety is important for babes so finding exciting new ways to serve it is great to mix things up.
Age Recommendation - 9m + The sticky texture of these balls is a hard texture for younger babies. Without developed oral motor skills it could ball up in the mouth.
"I would never have thought to make weetbix into a ball. My little girl loves these" - Tanie (Baby Mumma)

How long can these be stored in the fridge?
HI Elizaveta, I’d store for up to three days. Or freeze and thaw to serve immediately and as needed.
It says mix in the milk? But in the ingredients I doesn’t say anything about milk..? Just wondering how much to add?
I wondered the same thing! Just added until it mixed into a paste.
