If you want one small eierkoek just for yourself without opening a larger pack, Bolletje Brosse eierkoek melk comes individually wrapped and fits the bill. If you prioritise wholemeal wheat flour and fibre per 100 g, take a look at AH Eierkoeken volkoren. For a soft eierkoek or a small, crisp option, AH Eierkoeken and Streeckgenoten Mini brosse eierkoek are alternatives. Compare the weight per piece and check the latest ingredients and allergen information.
Which size is right for you?
If you want to take one biscuit with you
If you don’t want to open a larger pack straight away, individual wrapping is something specific to look out for. According to Albert Heijn’s product page, Bolletje Brosse eierkoek melk is individually wrapped.
If you want to compare wholemeal flour
If the type of flour and nutritional information matter more to you than individual wrapping, you can compare the AH varieties. Albert Heijn lists wholemeal wheat flour and 3.5 g of fibre per 100 g for AH Eierkoeken volkoren.
If you’re looking for a small, crisp option
For a small treat, you could try mini eierkoeken. Albert Heijn’s product page lists Streeckgenoten Mini brosse eierkoek in a pack of 10.
What should you look for when choosing?
Before your solo Valentine’s treat, decide whether packaging, texture or ingredients matter most to you. A small biscuit and an individually wrapped one aren’t the same thing.

Common mistakes
-
Assuming an eierkoek is a single snack bar
A small eierkoek isn’t necessarily sold individually. Albert Heijn lists AH Eierkoeken in a pack of 12 portions, while Bolletje Brosse eierkoek melk is individually wrapped and Streeckgenoten Mini brosse eierkoek is sold in a pack of 10.
Check how many you’re buying, how much each one weighs and whether the biscuits are individually wrapped.
-
Comparing nutritional values per piece without checking the weight
Albert Heijn lists 65 kcal for a Bolletje Brosse eierkoek melk weighing around 15.5 g and 94 kcal for a 30 g AH Eierkoek. These figures relate to different portion sizes.
Compare the nutritional information per 100 g, then check the values for the piece you plan to eat.
-
Assuming wholemeal means allergen-free
According to Albert Heijn, AH Eierkoeken volkoren contains wholemeal wheat flour, and its product page lists egg, milk, soya and wheat among the allergens. So the type of flour doesn’t mean the biscuit is free from these ingredients.
If you have an allergy or intolerance, read the latest ingredients list and allergen information on the packaging, including any ‘may contain’ statement.

Frequently asked questions
Is an eierkoek the same as a single snack bar?
No, an eierkoek isn’t a snack bar and it isn’t automatically sold individually. For the products we looked at, Albert Heijn lists multipacks and mini eierkoeken, as well as a Bolletje variety that is individually wrapped. So check the packaging rather than relying on the search term you used to find the product.
Which allergens should I check in eierkoeken?
Read the latest ingredients list and allergen information for the eierkoek you want to buy. The varieties we looked at list egg and wheat; several also contain milk and soya. Also look out for any ‘may contain’ statement, as information varies from product to product.
How should I store an opened pack of eierkoeken?
Follow the storage instructions on the packaging. Albert Heijn’s product pages for the AH eierkoeken we looked at advise storing them in a cool, dry, dark place and sealing the pack securely after use. Also check the best-before date on the product you buy.
