Oats are the heart of Narin’s and it is what Narin’s always have been. All ingredients are carefully chosen and sourced from the raw nature in Scotland, committed to bake the tastiest products in the most sustainable way to protect the environment, and to protect the earth.

The Secret to a Good Oatcake
It’s been said that the Eskimos have 50 words for snow. Well, in Scotland, we have a word for when something is too sticky, we say it’s too ‘claggy’. It’s the best word we know to describe a poorly made oatcake. Who knows? Maybe that’s how it first came to be used! The secret to a light and delicate tasting oatcake is the dough. Speed and timings are critical if the oats are to break down into just the right consistency. Nairn’s oatcakes are made in Edinburgh, where they’ve been made for over 80 years. The way we mix our dough remains a closely guarded secret unchanged for decades.

Gluten Free Care from Field to Plate
The oats in our gluten free range come from specialist British farms. These farms grow oats completely separately, and go to extraordinary lengths to avoid wheat or barley slipping into the mix, either in the field, or from equipment. From seed to plate we do everything we can to make our gluten free range as safe as can be for anyone following a gluten free diet. Our gluten free range is expanding all the time, so there really is plenty to choose from!

From Sporrans to Gym Bags
Oats have sustained the Scots for centuries. Lona ago. Scots would mix their oatmeal into a thick paste, flatten and keep in their ‘porridge drawer’. They’d open the drawer and break bits off throughout the long winter months. Thankfully you don’t need the right furniture to make oatcakes nowadays! Here’s a quick guide to the humble oatcake through time, from ‘porridge drawers’ and sporrans to am bags.

Well Baked Ideas
Bakeries have long been at the heart of village life in Scotland. It’s a tradition we’re keen to hang on to, which is why we believe in playing a supporting role in local activities. Not least because our local community gives us the most amazing team, some of whom have worked for Nairn’s for over 40 years. So, when someone brings us a good idea for a good cause, we try to help if we can.

Mixed Berries Oat Biscuits
Our delicious (or should that be berrylicious?) Mixed Berries Oat Biscuits are bursting with the natural flavour of raspberries and cranberries. And with just 43 calories per biscuit, you needn’t feel too guilty having one (or two) with your morning coffee or afternoon tea.
They also contain 40% less sugar than the average sweet biscuit. We haven’t changed the recipe, they’re just naturally lower in sugar and naturally delicious.

Salted Caramel Oat Biscuits
NEW to the Oat Biscuit range: Salted Caramel, the perfect sweet-but-not-sweet partner to our wholegrain oats. Buttery caramel fragments mingle with just a sprinkling of sea salt in our signature oat biscuit for a delicious bite with exactly the right level of crunch.
They may taste indulgent, but our Salted Caramel Oat Biscuits actually contain 40% less sugar than other brands*, and, like all our Oat Biscuits, they’re available in useful pouches of five (with four packs in a box) so keep some handy for when you need an oat-fuelled slow release energy boost.

Dark Chocolate Chip Oat Biscuits
Our tasty, wholesome dark chocolate chip oat biscuits are bursting with natural flavour. They contain no artificial colours or flavours, are full of the goodness of wholegrain oats and contain just 45 calories per biscuit. They’re the perfect treat to accompany a cup of tea or coffee, or just when you need a little pick me up. And some people tell us they’re a favourite with a cup of cocoa when you’re winding down for the evening with a good book! (We love fellow Scottish brand Laura Thomas Co’s 100% natural Lavender Pillow Mist to help you prepare for a good night’s sleep).
