  • Not just a breakie food.

    Hi ALL, Well as you all know I am a big fan of Golden Crumpets with Oats, love them for breakfast and light snacks and also have had them savory for lunch..but tonight I wanted dessert after dinner and as I am trying to watch my weight my hand wandered to the crumpets. I already had some low sugar caramel sauce in the frig, so I toasted the crumpets, smothered on a coating of luscious caramel sauce, topped with banana and a shaving of dark chocolate. The result heaven sent..oh so delicious and healthy tooo. These Golden Crumpets with Oats are simply golden. 🙂

  • We Love Golden Crumpet with Oats

    We have been enjoying Golden Crumpets with Oats every day! I will have to make another trip to the grocery store to buy some more crumpets for hungry tummies. They have become a hit in this household; lots of experimenting with different toppings on top of the crumpets. They really are so delicious!

    Golden crumpets with Oats keeps everyone in the family happy. Love that we’re getting the goodness of oats without sacrificing any of the flavour. Hubby hasn’t even noticed that I’ve been buying the Oats packet instead of the regular one. Golden crumpets with oats are also great for a snack during the day.

  • Oats in a crumpet - Genius!

    My 2 boys LOVE their oats (or as they call it: “oats, oats, oats) so I figured anything with oats in would be a sure winner! And yup, it certainly was. I lightly toasted them, spread a little butter on & they were devoured. And now I get: “more, more, more”! They are great for breakfast when you need something fast & also great for a mid-afternoon snack.

  • A crowd pleaser.

    Referring to my girls catch up: We discovered that the easiest way to toast a huge amount of Golden Crumpets with Oats is to put them under the grill, that way All the ladies could enjoy their creation at the same time. They turned out golden brown and just as delicious as they do when toasted in a regular toaster. Arrayed the toppings across the breakfast bar and ladies simply topped their crumpet with their desired choice. Easy and fun and spreading the word about an old favourite with a new twist. 🙂

  • Delicious! The whole family loved these!

    I was a bit hesitant at first wondering if these would taste as good as the regular crumpets that I normally buy but was more than impressed to find that they tasted just as good, if not better.
    The whole family was pretty happy with these and even my young granddaughter came back for seconds.
    Not only were they nice with spread on them, they were just lovely plain as well.
    Would definitely recommend these to others.

  • Love Golden Crumpets with Oats

    My son is a fussy eater at times so it is great to find something that he loves and is good for him. We love them in our house for breakfast and for light snacks throughout the day. We have already had to buy a second lot because the first packet was all gone the first day. I love them with honey and my son is a huge vegemite crumpet fan. Highly recommend this product to everyone!

  • The hunger buster.

    Hi everyone,
    I have commented and done heaps of reviews on these delicious GOLDEN CRUMPETS with oats they are just so versatile and easy to prepare..I really do so enjoy them. Although I am gluten sensitive I seem to be able to tolerate the odd crumpet from time to time and that’s fine with me as I get quite bored with the same old bland stuff. These crumpets are so reasonably priced and are quite often on special which helps the grocery bill a lot. They are super delicious with sweet as well as savoury toppings and today as I am now on a low sugar life style I decided to have cheese and vegemite. They are wonderful with a scraping of vegemite and a slice of tasty cheese and placed under the griller..oh so comforting and warm on a rainy grey day. Great for the young and young at heart, eating these little beauties really is smart.

  • Healthy and nutritious breakkie for the family on busy weekday mornings

    These crumpets are scrumptious! I bought them as I liked that they included oats – thought they would be a good breakkie for my family that would be quick and easy – and healthy. My hubby who is not normally a breakfast person ate 3 – then wanted more however as I’d only bought one packet he couldn’t have any more as my little guy and I had eaten the rest. My little guy loved them – and also wanted more! I know what I’ll be buying for breakfast now!! Quick and easy while being healthy for the whle family.

  • Sooo many topping, sooo many mmm yummm moments.

    HI All, as you are well aware of my love of these versatile rounds of pure bliss, I thought I would share another simply sensational topping for these easy yet positively delicious creations. I had some nectarines in the crisper that well let’s just say ..needed to be used up. I lightly peeled them, then heated and sprayed a skillet with oil, placed some choc coated honey comb ( Crunchie or Violet Crumble ) into the skillet, then the nectarines and browned and cooked for a couple of minutes. While they were cooking I toasted the crumpet, then tipped the contense of the pan onto my crumpet. OH pure bliss, sooo sweet, sooo wicked. The choc honey comb melted created a lovely gooey sauce that cooked and browned the nectarines to perfection. Added broken honey comb to the topping finished the creation and added a cafe style touch. I am sure even Max Brenner would be impressed. 🙂

  • Taste great!

    Everyone, myself and my 3 kids, love crumpets, and these went down a treat. I prefer buying things made with oats but I was a little wary of how they’d taste compared to the regular ones, but these were delicious! Very happy, and will continue buying them and feeling less weighed down, haha.

  • Not just for breakfast

    I recently tried Crumpets with oats as they were out of the normal ones. We couldn’t taste any difference in the flavour, even hubby didn’t notice and he doesn’t like oats.
    We eat usually crumpets after dinner with butter and jam in our house but they are delicious anytime.
    Will definitely add them to our regular shop.

  • more for me!

    The kiddies in my house do not like crumpets whatsoever and unfortunately these were no exception. However I rely heavily on the humble crumpet as my breakfasts usually have to be fast and consumed while standing. I found these gems to have a slightly better taste than the average crumpet and I actually did feel satisfied by them for longer. These will definitely feature regularly in my pantry from now on and I.look forward to trying different ways to eat them



  • Love Crumpets!

    Golden crumpets with oats never last in our house! Enjoyed by the whole family, they are an easy breakfast when we are rushed. During the day, the kids will also sometimes have crumpets as a snack.Golden oats crumpets are easy to make, taste great and you can have them savoury or sweet.

  • Kept the whole family happy

    Golden crumpets with Oats is a yummy breakfast choice for our family. Toasted until golden with that lovely outer crunch and spongy holes served with our favourite topping macadamia honey the kids didn’t notice the difference of added oats when I served it up this morning. My only complaint was I had a hard time finding crumpets WITH oats, it was third store lucky for me. With that being said I would buy this product again.

How to choose the best lunch box for school

When you’re searching for a kids’ lunch box, take the time to work out what will best suit their needs. If you make the right choice and invest in a quality one, it will last many years.

  • Box, bento or bag? If your child doesn’t like different foods touching, a bento lunch box is a great choice. Also, think about whether they prefer cut-up or whole fruit; a bento is better suited to cut food, while bags and boxes suit whole fruit. Bags are fantastic if you like to pack separate containers, like smaller bento or snack containers.
  • Freshness is a must – An insulated bag or box will keep everything cool and fresh until snack and lunchtime. But you can also get boxes that come with cold and ice packs. Remember, kids’ lunches often sit at room temperature for up to 5 or 6 hours before they’re eaten, so insulation and coolness are important. Check out how to keep school lunches safe in the heat.
  • Easy-to-clean design – Check if the box is dishwasher-safe, or for lunch bags, if they’re machine-washable.
  • Leak-proof – The last thing you want is a soggy mess at lunchtime, so if buying a hard lunch box, look for designs that are leak-proof with proper seals.
  • Child-friendly – Depending on your child’s motor skills and independence, you may need to start with a product that’s simple to open and close.
  • The right size – We tend to pack way too much in our kids’ lunches, so think about how much realistically you’ll need to pack for your child when choosing the size of their lunch box. You may also need to consider the size of their school bags.

What to put in kids’ lunch boxes

Health professionals agree that kids need a good balance of lean protein, grains, fruit and vegetables throughout the school day. Skip the processed food and try to reach for whole foods that pack a punch in the nutrient department. Here are some great ideas:

  • Grilled chicken or turkey wraps with fresh salad
  • Crackers and vegetable sticks with healthy dips like hummus
  • Whole-grain pasta with cherry tomatoes and your choice of cheese
  • Zucchini slice cut into rectangles for easy stacking in an insulated box
  • Almond-meal slice with raspberries or blueberries – or both!
  • Vegetarian sausage rolls – these freeze well and make a great meat-free lunch when cold.

  • Getting ready for the return to school has started to kick in so this was a timely read. We have the yum box and i love it, it is so easy for my daughter to open and close on her own. I find the lunch cooler bags also a great idea however some days depending on what else needs to go to school, they can be quite bulky to include in the school bag. I need to do some more research this year as i like the idea of being able to watch it in the washing machine, that is a clever idea.

  • Along with all of the other back to school products; there is also a good range of lunch boxes available for people to buy. It has been fun to see the wide range of bottles and lunch boxes that are available for the new year for school and for work.

  • Lunch boxes have come such a long way since my eldest was a kid, he’s now 26! There’s really a solution to everything from food heating, cooling, dividers, pockets etc etc. Lunch boxes are a real fashion accessory and so on-trend these days. I personally love the Bento lunch boxes. They save on plastic and separate different foods.

  • I am such a huge fan of Bento lunch boxes and Bento. Food should be so many wonderful things; including delicious, fun, colourful and nutritious too. Lunch is a favourite meal because the body is ready for some more calories and a boost of energy. Food looks so good in Bento lunch boxes.

  • So so many fantastic options! We use the montii co ones for our kdis and swear by it. Its lasted 3 years so far and still standing strong, like new since the first day using it. They are so durable and i find cleaning them to be the easiest for us.

  • There are so many great lunch box option out there indeed ! I’ve always liked the Bento style lunch boxes for my kids. It reduces the use of plastic lunch bags and packaged food which aren’t very good for the environment and it encourages to present a good variety of foods (which is not only better nutrition wise but lao to prevent our kids from getting bored with same foods all the time.

  • There are some really fabulous options here. So many variations of colour, shape and size. I love the bento style lunch boxes, so handy to keep food separate and eliminate the use of plastic packaging. The machine washable bags are a great idea too. They can get grubby so fast, this would be so much easier to maintain

  • This has gotten much easier since my kids hit high school – they have strong opinions about their lunch boxes, so I don’t have to think about it so much anymore! However, I am strongly in favor of bento style boxes regardless of their age. They’re easy to clean, easy to pack, and invite appropriate sized portions.

  • Great article! Our kids are so lucky, when it comes to lunchboxes, they really are spoilt for choice. There are so many to pick from. Regarding sandwiches, my eldest son, used to hate sandwiches for school lunches. It wasn’t until many years later that I discovered that he’d throw out his sandwiches in the playground bins. My son’s an adult now and he still hates sandwiches. He only likes “hot” lunches. So glad he lives on his own now and can make his own “hot” lunches just the way he likes them.

  • Wow, lunch boxes have really come such a long way from when I was taking a lunch box to school. Feel old, like “back in my day”, but we were lucky to have options like are available now. While I like some of these designs, I feel like they aren’t super practical.

    Reply

  • These lunchboxes are beautiful but are they really worth the expensive price tag? I have been through so many lunch boxes and bags over the years and found the best it to use an insulated lunchbox bag with ice brick and use small containers to keep individual items fresh and assessable.

  • I love the bbox lunch boxes. They are so reliable and tough when kids throw their bags around. Easy to wash and store. I have used the we can be tiny snackies at home too. The boys love choosing a certain animal shape. They wash well, are durable and great quality.

  • My kids are old enough now to pack their own lunches and I am so happy to see the great choices they are making. They take left over meals, cook food in the morning to take and now I am confident they aren’t throwing away sandwiches! I do have the chilly bags for them, I find they fit better into bags

  • Love our bento b.boxes. So easy to pack. I do however worry that they’re made of plastic, not metal….

  • My daughter uses a bento box now for work and sometimes an insulated bag in summer, but when she was at school it was a rectangular lunch box with no compartments. It was very easy to wash each day, just the box and lid, and it could still be filled with rolls/sandwiches and snacks.

  • Lunchboxes are so important these days. Back in my day it was a brown paper bag or the exact same lunch box that everyone else had and there were three compartments. Today its such a fashion statement and as much as the lunchbox itself is judged so are the contents.

  • I absolutely love the bb box quite sturdy. It took many lunch box to find one that would last. Before this lunch box we had a stuck on you. I found the stuck on you lunch box didn’t last when the hinge’s snapped they wouldn’t get back to me (only had for a short time and my youngest couldn’t open it so it wasn’t dropped. Just opened it after the 8th time and snapped). The bb box has lasted the last year and a half and still going strong
