My favourite lemon slice ever is this lemon weetbix slice! I love lemons! They are just so gorgeous and tangy they make a great addition to anything sweet. The tart flavour balance out the sugars so beautifully 
This lemon weetbix slice also has a great crunch to it from the weetbix. However the addition of the pepita and sunflower seeds makes this even better! I also added a few chia seeds for some extra nutrition. This is optional but is great way to add some more omega 3s to your diet. See here for more info
Ingredients
Slice
- 5 Weetbix (around 75g)
- 200g Self Raising flour
- 150g Brown sugar
- 70g shredded coconut
- 1 Tbsp white chia seeds
- 3 Tbsp pepita and sunflower seeds (around 45g)
- 180g butter
- 1 Tbsp lemon juice

- 200g icing sugar
- 1 Lemon
Method
- Preheat oven to 170 DegC fan forced
- Line a slice tin with baking paper
- In a mixing bowl, crush the weetbix into small flakes
- Add flour, sugar, coconut, chia seeds, pepita and sunflower seeds
- Melt the butter in a separate bowl
- Add 1 Tbsp lemon juice to the butter and mix
- Add the butter to the dry ingredients and mix together
- Press the mixture into the slice tin with the back of a spoon
- Bake in the oven for 15 minutes
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool for half an hour prior to icing
- For the icing, sift the icing sugar into a bowl
- Add the zest of the lemon and the remaining juice and mix together until a nice runny consistency where it's not too thin but can easily drizzle over the top of the slice
- Spread out the icing on top of the slice and put in the fridge to cool before cutting into squares to serve
- Note keep this slice in the fridge until serving, as if it is left out it can become a bit crumbly. Enjoy!
