To make the Weetbix slice mixture, first add the melted butter, white sugar and lemon zest to a large mixing bowl. Mix until the butter and sugar are well combined. Next, add the crushed Weetbix, plain flour, desiccated coconut and baking powder and stir once again until all ingredients are well combined.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared slice tin, and press the mixture down firmly with either your fingers or the back of a spoon. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
