Save up the crumbs at the bottom of the box and bake these Weet-bix lunchbox favourites. The muffins are delicious with dark or milk chocolate, and caramelise when using white chocolate. - Serina Bird

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups of Weetbix crumbs
2 large frozen bananas, thawed and mashed
3/4 cups milk
4 tbsp butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups self-raising flour
3 to 4 tbsp brown sugar
2 eggs
2/3 cup of chocolate drops

Method

Step 1

Place the Weet-bix crumbs in a large bowl and cover with milk.
Step 2

Meanwhile, take the bananas out of the freezer. Cut into pieces and microwave for around 20 seconds – this will help them become mushier. Mash them with a fork.
Step 3

Melt the butter in a small plastic bowl in the microwave.
Step 4

Meanwhile, mix the bananas into the Weetbix mixture then gradually stir in the flour and sugar. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Then add the butter. Mix it hard with a wooden smooth to reduce any lumpy bits. The end mixture will still be lumpy, but try to get it as smooth as you feel comfortable with.
Step 5

When the mixture is sufficiently smooth, add the chocolate pieces. Place around two spoonsful into each muffin case.
Step 6

Bake at around 160C for 15 to 20 minutes.
