Arnott's Simple Batch :
4.46 out of 5 based on 286 reviews.

As mums, it is important that we give our children only the best ingredients to fuel their growing bodies, however with our busy lifestyles many of us don’t have the time to pop on the oven mitts and bake home made snacks.

Which is why we are delighted to be inviting our members to trial and review the brand new Arnott’s Simple Batch Range.

The Arnott’s Simple Batch range has been developed to create biscuits that not only deliver mouth-watering taste but contain only high quality real ingredients you would recognise from your pantry such as flour, honey, oats and eggs, without any nasties.

Arnott’s Simple Batch comes in four mouth-watering varieties:

  • ANZAC Biscuits
  • Choc Coconut Cookies
  • Honey Cinnamon Butter Biscuits
  • Vanilla Butter Biscuits

Where can I buy Arnott’s Simple Batch?

Arnott’s Simple Batch is available in the biscuit aisle of your local Coles, Woolworths or independent supermarkets.

  • Just like homemade.

    This is my forth and final review of these Arnott's Simple Batch Biscuits. I have enjoyed them immensely and loved the fact that they contain simple ingredients that I use at home. These Amazing Anzac's are crunchy and have that delicious home-baked taste. They are perfect for a snack any time and are so great crumbled over fruit to made a quick and easy crumble dessert. These Biscuits bring back memories and with a packet in the pantry one can reminisce any time and where. PERFECT.

    They make the perfect afternoon snack with a coffee or a cup of tea. The only thing is you can't just stop at one.... before I knew it the packets were gone in my house before I even got a photo! We have already been back to the shops to buy more they are need a weekly staple food item on our shopping list.

  • Loved this!

    I have tried all the flavours in the Arnott's simple batch range and I have to say my favourite by a mile was the vanilla butter flavour. It was such a rich creamy vanillary buttery flavour, I could have polished off the entire packet. It was such a tasty store bought bikkie. I also love the other flavors too, top job Arnotts.

  • Simply Delicious

    The honey cinnamon butter biscuits didn’t last long in my house. They were definitely a hit. The Anzac biscuits were enjoyed more by the adults than the kids but they were just as lovely.

    Both felt like you were eating homemade biscuits and I love how simple the ingredients are. Will definitely be adding to my shopping list when we need biscuits.

    We really enjoyed the Honey Cinnamon Butter Biscuits. The name doesn't do them justice. I enjoyed them so much more than I thought I would. They melted in your mouth like the best shortbread but had the right touch of cinnamon to make it extra special. They were loved by all the family and gone in a flash

  • Addictive!!

    Yum! The vanilla Butter biscuits are seriously delish, when I first opened them I literally ate 5 in about 10 minutes! My son said it was the nicest biscuit he'd ever had lol! In fact, I loved them so much I decided they were good enough for an up coming morning tea so pre-ordered 20 online!!!

  • Simple batch simply the best

    The honey cinnamon butter biscuits are so buttery they melt in your mouth and the delicate taste of cinnamon leaves you wanting more. The Anzac biscuit has a beautiful crunch that turns to a soft chewiness and the golden syrup provides just the right amount of sweetness.

    Exactly like homemade, and you can’t stop at one. Highly recommend

  • Just like home made!

    I absolutely love the ingredients list for the Arnott’s Simple Batch range. I am always striving to ensure my family aren’t consuming foods with artificial colours, flavours or preservatives so these were a great option for us. I usually make our treats from scratch but when I saw these on special I decided to give them a try. We had the Choc Coconut Cookies and they taste great! My 2 year old couldn’t believe his luck when he asked for one and I said yes. Such a great option to have when you don’t have the time or motivation to bake. Will purchase again when they are on special, I am keen to try the other flavours!

  • Crunchy and delicious

    The Arnott’s Simple Batch biscuits are some of the nicest biscuits out there currently. Crumbly, moreish and delicious, they are the perfect biscuit to accompany your afternoon cup of tea. Great to keep a packet (or two!) in the cupboard, these will be a crowd pleaser to just whip out if you have guests over.

    I really enjoy the arnott's simple batch biscuits. I've bought these several times times and enjoy them every time. They are such a simple yet delicious biscuit and I'm happy to give these to my two girls as I know there isn't any random preservatives hidden in them. I highly recommend these biscuits they are so so yummy!

  • Anzac's perfect anytime.

    Well I am at the end of my reviews now ...only the Amazing Anzac Biscuits to review. So here we go:

    OMG these Anzac's are amazing, they have a great crunch and certainly have that delicious home baked flavour. I have enjoyed experiencing all these simple batch biscuits and simply love the fact that they use ingredients just like one would use at home (with out the nasty's so many store bought biscuits contain) . Arnott's you have my tick of approval with these simple batch.

  • Children's Fav.

    So this is my third review and I am reviewing the choc coconut cookies this time. These cookies were the children's favourite. The chocolate and coconut was a marriage made in heaven. As a mom I liked the addition of oats in these cookies. These divine cookies go sooo well with a frosty glass of milk or so the children tell me. lol Personally I much prefer to dunk mine in my steamy tea.

  • Yummy Anzacs!!

    Really loved the Anzac cookies and ate them between three of us in one sitting. Definitely tasted home made, and loved the basic ingredients! None of these extra additives :)

    I’d love to buy them again, and found them the yummiest of the two types I bought. I think you’d like it too-just like mum made!!

    I took them to work and was a great snack for us. Didn’t make it home!

  • Different reviews from kids vs adults

    The kids preferred the crunch and taste of the ANZAC biscuits and polished off the packet before I could take a photo! These were a bit too crunchy for me (I prefer soft bikkies) but I loved the softer smooth textured honey cinnamon flavoured which was nice and subtle, and melted in the mouth.

I will be reviewing the Choc Coconut COOKIES here: These cookies would be my childrens fav ...as a mom I love the fact that these simple batch biccies are made with ingredients I would cook with.

    My children loved them! They couldn’t get enough so I had no choice but buy more. They are so good with coffee and the honey ones melted in my mouth :-)

    The favourite on our house was Anzac

    We have now tried all of the flavours and the adults love vanilla and the kids loved the Anzac and honey ones.

    They are not expensive either which made me happy when I did the shopping.

  • Good simple but tasty old-time recipes.

    Love Love Love these.

    Our favourite at the moment is Chocolate/Coconut. But will try others soon.

    They are brilliant & taste much like my mother's fabulous baking in the 60s/70s/80s.

    Wonderful pure ingredients & great combinations you can really taste the authenticity.

    PLEASE make bigger packets as we simply cannot get enough.

  • Simple and Tasty

    I have tried the Vanilla butter biscuit and I like it they are not very fancy like other biscuits but they tasted fresh, just like home made. They are made of simple ingredients which is a good thing. Very creamy and buttery in taste but not very sweet. Its just that they are expensive as compared to the quantity of biscuits inside the packet. All in all a good experience.

If every school week is more like an episode of Survivor at your place, don’t worry, you’re not alone! The struggle to stay on top of the school week mayhem is real – so we’ve put together a bunch of clever ideas to give you back some precious time (and sanity).

There’s nothing difficult about these tips, just solid advice and ideas from a mum who’s been in the school trenches for over a decade.

1. Teach The Kids To Make Some Simple Breakfasts

Healthy Breakfast Cookies
Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies

 

Hang on, this is about breakfast, why are we showing you a picture of mouth-watering cookies?! These are Four Ingredient Healthy Breakfast Cookies – perfect for a prep-ahead school day brekkie!

Depending on their age there are so many safe and easy breakfasts kids can make themselves. From toasties, to yoghurt pots prepped the night before or just cereal. Not having to make breakfast for everyone will literally save you hours every week!

2. Lay Out Clothes For The Week

Use a hanging organiser or labelled baskets for each day. Include uniforms, socks and undies. Kids can dress themselves without the drama of missing items. I’ll be honest, my kids’ uniforms are expensive, so I wash during the week as they only have a couple of sets. However, if nothing else, having just socks and underwear sorted for the week is an absolute lifesaver!

 

The other huge help is not having to pre-treat stains on my kids’ uniforms, nobody has time for that during the week! My extra tip here is to use a great quality laundry detergent that is powerful enough to remove stains in-wash, so you don’t need to worry about pre-treating. Biozet Attack’s range is perfect, and while each product packs a punch when it comes to lifting stains, I love that each targets different issues. For example, Biozet Attack Plus Eliminator Power Capsules eliminate 99.9% of odour-causing bacteria – great for teenage boy school shirts! There’s also Biozet Attack Plus Sensitive 2L which is dermatologically tested, but still powers through stains.

3. Use A Family Calendar System

 

Whether it’s a wall planner, a shared phone calendar or a digital calendar, you need everyone to be able to track all activities, due dates and after-school commitments in one place. It also helps gives the kids a a sense of responsibility and doesn’t leave everything on your shoulders!

4. Plan A Weekly School Admin Session

Answer school emails, sign permission forms, top up canteen accounts and check term calendars in one go instead of daily interruptions. You may only need to do this fortnightly or monthly, but just make sure you schedule it in your calendar. Trust me, it saves so much time compared to juggling things bit by bit!

5. Quick-Fire Cleaning Sessions

Set a timer for ten minutes in the afternoon, pop on some music and everyone tidies their zone. This includes the kids emptying their lunchboxes, washing their drink bottles, handing you any notes and putting their clothes in the wash. Small bursts like this stop the house turning into chaos by Friday.

6. Have A Snack Station

Child holding Babybel Mini Rolls over her eyes.

 

Keep a drawer or fridge shelf filled with ready portions. Kids can pack their own snacks for school, and also grab something to eat when they get home. Think ahead and include them in the weekly shopping – ask them what snacks they would like (and cross your fingers they’ll still like them all week!).

7. Set Up A Family Charging Station

One spot for iPads, laptops and phones. No searching for chargers or discovering a dead laptop ten minutes before school! Make sure each child puts their school device on charge when they get home, as part of their Quick-Fire Cleaning Session.


While we can’t promise your school weeks won’t have moments of chaos, taking some of these tips on board will save you time – even if it’s just five minutes here and there. It’s about building realistic habits for the whole family, that will hopefully bring some calm to the school week.

Mouths of Mums is proudly working with Biozet Attack to bring you this article.

  • There are some great ideas here! I just use an old school paper calender but its so helpful to remember all the important dates – i always buy a family planner one so theres columns for each of us to write what were doing om certain days so we never run out of space! I need a snack station, but struggle to have healthy (or healthier) choices in the cupboard apart from the usual chips, rice crackers and museli bars!

    Reply

  • There are some good hints here! I already do have a little snack station in my pantry – a large container filled with all sorts of bars, etc. It’s the first place the kids look for something to eat. I do like the idea of a charging station but I don’t think it would work in my house. Everyone seems to like charging things in their room and it could look messy with multiple cords.

    Reply

  • The struggle is real so I’m loving these hints. I especially like the idea of getting the kids involved in preparing their own lunches and snacks and offering a variety of options that will hopefully encourage them to make healthy choices now and into the future.

  • A great article full of very helpful and handy tips. Most of these I already do but it has reminded me to add a few other things to my list to organise before the school year starts in a couple of weeks. Helpful tips like this are so great as you can never remember everything and this sure has given me a few extra things to think about.

  • We do daily life admin because it simply makes life easier to stay on top of everything that is required to run a family and household. Planning and organisation is so vital for every family and for a household. It really is very important to stay on top of all things at all times.

    Reply

  • I love this article. I can relate to a lot of these ideas. For instance, I have a snack shelf in my pantry so my kids can choose and pack their own snacks. No more asking them what they want. We also have a family charging station in the kitchen. iPads, laptops and phones are only allowed to be charged on the kitchen bench. I love the healthy cookies. I must give these a go. The family calendar system is a must too!

    Reply

  • I totally agree with most of these. We bought some inexpensive cereal dispensers, and that made mornings much easier. And school admin? For me, that is every Wednesday right before a regular appointment. It fitted in perfectly, I never overlooked anything, and if I didn’t need it it was a glorious burst of free time.

  • I love this article and the tips and already follow many of them. I have always been a big fan of schedules and planners and they simply make sense and make sure everyone in the family is on task. I also love snack stations; one for the fridge and one for the pantry; again it makes sense and makes preparing food and lunchboxes and snack times easy.
