- 1 can crushed unsweetened pineapple, including juice (432g tin)
- 1 cup carrot, grated
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup packed brown sugar

- 1/4 cup light flavoured olive oil
- 1 1/2 cups wholemeal self-raising flour

Method:
- Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Lightly oil an 8-hole mini-loaf tin.
- To a large bowl add crushed Weet-Bix, pineapple and pineapple juice. Stir well to moisten, then add grated carrot, cinnamon, salt, sugar, eggs, milk, and oil—stir again.
- Add flour, baking powder, sultanas, and walnuts to the bowl and fold through, making sure not to over-mix.
