Recipe FAQs:
My tin is 29 x 19 cm and the cook time works well for me in my oven. If your tin is smaller, allow a little longer to cook as the base will be thicker.
This slice keeps well for 3-5 days in an airtight container.
Yes. If you overcook Passionfruit Weetbix slice it can go quite hard. I recommend baking this for 14-20 minutes however, all ovens are different. If you know your oven 'runs hot' test it at the 15 minute mark. It should be soft when you bring it out of the oven and it will firm up as it cool down.
Storage:
Lemon weetbix slice can be store in an airtight container in the pantry for up to one week.
This slice can also be frozen. Wrap well with cling wrap, baking paper or tin foil and freeze in an airtight container.
Top Tips:
This slice can also be made gluten free. Simply use gluten free weetbix and one cup of gluten free flour or almond meal.

Can you make the base without the coconut?
VJ cooks says
Yes, Weetbix slice will still work well without coconut, simply add 1 extra Weetbix and ½ a cup of additional flour.
