Oatie Biscuits

[jennyjoan]

Haven't bought them but would there be much sugar in them. Cousin eats them like for a treat cos she is off chocolate.

[Mamyalynne]

What brand are they?

[dannyk13]

Nairn's oatcakes are quite low in sugar.

Aldi Oaties have 2.9gm sugar per biscuit.

[dannyk13]

Dave, that is nearly twice as much as those that have been mentioned.

[jennyjoan]

have emailed the cousin to find out what ones she gets - like I said - she eats them instead of chocolate to keep the oul diabetes at bay - asif.

[jennyjoan]

davebro - we don't have Aldi but do have a Lidl -

[Mamyalynne]

Although you can buy or make biscuits with healthy ingredients it's still a biscuit.


I'd avoid bar a very occasional one.

[jennyjoan]

mamy - what do you take for a little sugary treat?

[Mamyalynne]

I like ginger nuts but bear in mind I am neither overweight or diabetic.

[Arksided]

I have ginger nuts on stand by... in case of the need to have a sugar rush... I'm not diabetic.... however they're in still in competition with chocolate hob-nobs.

"Dave, that is nearly twice as much as those that have been mentioned."

But the ones mentioned were Oatcakes & Mini Oat Biscuits. Aldi & Lidl's are a full-size biscuit specifically called "Oaties"
