Sunfeast Farmlite Oats with Chocolate Biscuits – Everything You Need To Know
Sunfeast Farmlite Oats with Chocolate biscuits made using wheat flour, oat flakes, chocolate chips, almonds, and other cookie ingredients. The pack mentions how these chocolate cookies are free of maida. Made using Aashirvaad Atta, we were curious to find out how the atta-oats-chocolate combination would taste. More importantly, how would it taste like with tea/coffee?
Following are details like price and packaging, taste and texture of these oats cookies. Are they simply chocolate-flavored or do they contain chocolate?
1. Packaging
One box of these Active Oats cookies contains eight individual packs. Each pack has two biscuits which make one serving.
2. Ingredients
Wheat flour (atta) (31,3%), oat flakes(20.3%), sugar, refined palm oil, plain chocolate chips(6.2%), cocoa solids(1.4%), almonds(1.4%), and iodized salt are the main ingredients used in these biscuits.
3. Taste
First things first, these cookies weren’t just topped with chocolate chips but there were chocolate chips on the inside too! This elevated our experience significantly.
Talking about the chocolate flavor from the cocoa solids, these biscuits showed decent levels of sweetness with an intense chocolate flavor.
Similarly, the almond bits amalgamated well with the rest of the ingredients.
4. Flavour
These cookies have a delectable chocolate flavor without the overloaded sweetness.
These cookies are made using refined palm oil. No industrial or rancid taste was noticed.
5. Bite/Mouth Feel
Typically cookies or biscuits with lower fat content are dense and hard to eat. These chocolate cookies were crunchy and feel fibrous!
The edges on them weren’t brittle or broken which makes it a decent option to be served to guests.

Final Words
These chocolate oats cookies were a hit, in terms of taste. What we really liked about these cookies were the chocolate chips. The chips hadn’t just been added as toppings but they were also added to the batter with almond bits.
The chocolate chips on the inside were melted and lent a different texture. Perfect to be paired with a cup of coffee, these oats cookies can be an alternative to regular digestive biscuits.
