Who might be interested in mini egg cakes?

TV viewers who want to take one portion

You’re looking for a soft cake with a stated serving size, so you can decide how much to have before you start watching rather than keep eating from the pack.

Fans of a crunchy bite

A small, crisp egg cake may appeal to you more than the usual soft variety. Check whether the cake you’ve chosen is available, and read the allergen information on the pack.

Shoppers who compare labels

You look beyond the word ‘mini’ and compare sugars, fibre and serving sizes. A wholemeal egg cake could be an alternative, but it isn’t automatically a mini egg cake.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide whether a portioned soft cake or a small, crisp bite is right for your movie night. Then compare the serving sizes and labels of the products that make your shortlist.

What to consider What to check before buying Who it matters to
Portion for watching TV Check the weight per stated serving and the number of servings in the pack. Albert Heijn lists a 28 g serving for AH Mini Eierkoeken; Jumbo lists 25 g for Jumbo Mini Eierkoeken. If I want to take one soft cake before I start watching, a clearly stated serving size helps me choose how much to have. This is the main consideration for around 50% of shoppers.
Soft or crisp Check whether it’s a soft or crisp egg cake, and look at the number of pieces and the total weight. Albert Heijn lists Streeckgenoten Mini brosse eierkoek as 10 pieces in a 100 g pack. I’m mainly looking for a small, crunchy bite, not the texture of a soft egg cake. This texture preference is the deciding factor for around 30% of shoppers.
Nutritional information and allergens Compare sugars and fibre per 100 g and per serving. If you have allergies, check the latest ingredients and allergen information on the pack. When I’m choosing between mini and wholemeal, I want to know what I’ll get per cake and which ingredients to avoid. Around 20% of shoppers mainly take this label information into account.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming ‘mini’ says something about nutritional value

    The size doesn’t tell you how much sugar or fibre a cake contains. Albert Heijn lists 38 g of sugars per 100 g for AH Mini Eierkoeken; Jumbo lists 32,3 g per 100 g for Jumbo Mini Eierkoeken.

    Compare the nutritional information per 100 g and per stated serving. Set aside the number of pieces you want before you start watching TV.

  • Treating a crisp mini as the same snack as a soft mini

    The texture and weight per piece differ. Albert Heijn also states that Streeckgenoten Mini brosse eierkoek is only available in store.

    Choose your preferred texture first, then check the weight per piece and current in-store or delivery availability.

  • Relying on an old product page if you have an allergy

    Ingredients and allergen information can change. For the crisp mini variety, possible traces of nuts, sesame and lupin are listed in addition to the allergens present.

    Check the pack every time you buy it, and look at both the ingredients and any warnings about possible traces.

Brands to consider

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists both soft AH Mini Eierkoeken and a separate wholemeal egg cake.

  • According to Albert Heijn, AH Mini Eierkoeken contains 8 pieces, with a stated serving size of 28 g.
  • According to Albert Heijn, AH Volkoren Eierkoeken has a stated serving size of 30 g and isn’t a mini product. Check the latest label for both varieties.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists soft Mini Eierkoeken in a pack of 10, weighing 250 g.

  • Jumbo lists 10 servings of 25 g, so you can take the weight of each cake into account when choosing.
  • Jumbo lists 32,3 g of sugars per 100 g and the allergens egg, gluten, milk, soya and wheat. Check the latest label if this information is important to your choice.

Streeckgenoten

Streeckgenoten Mini brosse eierkoek is a small, crunchy variety that Albert Heijn lists as 10 pieces in a 100 g pack.

  • An option to consider if you’re specifically looking for a crisp egg cake.
  • Albert Heijn states that the product is only available in store. The product information also warns of possible traces of nuts, sesame and lupin.

Bolletje

Bolletje Brosse Eierkoek Kaneel is a crisp egg cake, but it isn’t a mini egg cake.

  • The product listing at Jumbo describes Bolletje Brosse Eierkoek Kaneel as individually wrapped.
  • If you’re specifically looking for mini egg cakes, you can’t assume this variety is the same size as the mini products mentioned above.

Frequently asked questions

Does ‘mini’ tell you anything about the nutritional value of an egg cake?

No. ‘Mini’ describes the size, not the nutritional value. Albert Heijn lists 38 g of sugars per 100 g for AH Mini Eierkoeken, while Jumbo lists 32,3 g per 100 g for Jumbo Mini Eierkoeken. If you want to have one cake, compare the figures per stated serving too.

Which allergens should I check in mini egg cakes?

Read the latest label for the variety you’re buying. The product information for the soft mini egg cakes mentioned above lists allergens including egg, milk, cereals containing gluten or wheat, and soya. Possible traces of nuts, sesame and lupin are also mentioned for Streeckgenoten Mini brosse eierkoek.

How should I store an opened pack of mini egg cakes?

Follow the storage advice on the pack of your product. Albert Heijn recommends resealing AH Mini Eierkoeken carefully after use and storing them in a cool, dry place; Jumbo advises storing its mini egg cakes in a dry, dark place.

Can a wholemeal egg cake replace a mini egg cake?

A wholemeal egg cake is another option if you mainly want to compare fibre content, but it doesn’t offer the mini size.
