About Vegan biscuits

Vegan biscuits are plant-based baked goods originating from modern adaptations of traditional biscuit recipes to cater to vegan diets. They typically replace common animal-derived ingredients, such as butter and milk, with plant-based alternatives like coconut oil, oat milk, or almond milk. Vegan biscuits generally include flour, a leavening agent, and natural sugars or syrups. From a nutritional standpoint, their profile varies depending on the ingredients used, but they can provide carbohydrates for energy, dietary fiber from whole-grain flours, and small amounts of fats from plant-based oils or nuts. While vegan biscuits can be lower in saturated fats compared to traditional biscuits, they may still contain added sugars depending on the recipe. They are often enjoyed as a snack or dessert across various vegan-friendly cuisines worldwide.

Health Benefits

• Rich in dietary fiber when made with whole-grain flours, supporting digestive health and regular bowel movements.
• Contains unsaturated fats from plant-based oils, which can help reduce bad cholesterol levels and support heart health.
• Provides essential minerals like iron and potassium if fortified or made with nutrient-dense ingredients such as nut milks or seeds.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains gluten (if using wheat flour), nuts (if using almond milk or nut oils), soy (if using soy milk)

Suitable for: Vegan, vegetarian, dairy-free

Not suitable for: Gluten-free (unless alternative flours are used), nut-free diets (if nut-based ingredients are included)

Selection and Storage

Store vegan biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days, or freeze them for longer preservation.

Common Questions About Vegan biscuits Nutrition

How many calories are in vegan biscuits?

The calorie content of vegan biscuits can vary depending on the recipe and ingredients used. On average, a single biscuit made with plant-based ingredients contains around 150-200 calories, but this can increase if additives like plant butter or sugar are included.

Are vegan biscuits suitable for a keto diet?

Vegan biscuits are typically not keto-friendly because they often contain flour and other carbohydrate-rich ingredients. Keto recipes may use almond or coconut flour as substitutes to reduce carb content, providing less than 5 grams of carbs per biscuit.

Are vegan biscuits healthy?

Vegan biscuits can be a healthier choice compared to traditional ones, as they avoid animal fats and dairy. However, their healthiness depends on the ingredients used; refined sugars and flours may still make them calorie-dense and low in fiber or essential nutrients.

What is a recommended portion size for vegan biscuits?

A typical serving size of vegan biscuits is one or two biscuits, depending on their size and calorie content. Pairing them with a source of protein or fiber, like almond butter or fresh fruits, can help make the snack more balanced.

How do vegan biscuits compare to regular biscuits?

Vegan biscuits differ from regular biscuits mainly in their use of plant-based substitutes for dairy and eggs. Nutritional profiles are similar but may vary slightly depending on the ingredients; for example, vegan biscuits might contain less saturated fat but similar calories.
