Choose an individually sold small biscuit if you want one with your coffee, a two-pack for a set amount to take with you, or a larger pack if you want to share them on several occasions. Check the serving size, ingredients and allergens for the variant you choose: the word ‘mini’ doesn’t tell you anything about its nutritional value.
If you want to stick to one biscuit with your coffee or tea, check the weight of each biscuit rather than relying on the word ‘mini’. Albert Heijn gives a serving size of 9 g for AH Mini speculoos biscuits; Jumbo lists 7.8 g for one Lotus Biscoff biscuit from the 250 g pack. A stated serving size isn’t necessarily the same as one biscuit.
If you want to decide in advance how many biscuits to take with you, a two-pack could be a good fit. Lotus Bakeries Netherlands lists Lotus Biscoff packs containing 8 × 2 and 10 × 2 biscuits.
If you’re serving biscuits to others or need to avoid allergens yourself, check the ingredients and warnings on the exact pack. According to Lotus Bakeries Netherlands, Lotus Biscoff Original contains wheat and soya; Albert Heijn lists wheat and milk, among other ingredients, for AH Mini speculoos biscuits.
First decide how many biscuits you want with each coffee. Then choose a suitable pack and read the label for the exact variant.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|
| Choosing your own serving | Check the weight per biscuit or serving, and compare the nutritional values per serving and per 100 g. | When I have coffee, I want to decide in advance how many biscuits to have, rather than treating a whole pack as one serving. For around 42% of consumers, choosing a small serving themselves would be the priority. |
| Taking them with you or sharing | Check how the pack is divided and how many biscuits it contains; a duo pack contains two biscuits. | If I take biscuits with me or share them at the table, I want an amount that suits the occasion. A set amount to take with you or share would matter most to around 33% of consumers. |
| Ingredients and allergens | Read the ingredients list and the ‘contains’ and ‘may contain’ statements for the variant you choose. | When I give biscuits to someone else, I need to know which ingredients and allergens are listed on the pack. For around 25% of consumers, this information would determine their choice. |
The name describes the size, not how much energy or sugar you’ll consume in the amount you choose.
Decide how many biscuits you want in advance, then check the nutritional information per serving and per 100 g on the pack.
A statement about plant-based ingredients doesn’t mean that wheat, soya or other allergens are absent. Lotus Bakeries Netherlands lists wheat and soya in Lotus Biscoff Original.
Check the current ingredients list and allergen information for every variant, even if you already know the brand.

No. ‘Mini’ describes the size and isn’t a statement about nutritional value. Check the pack you choose to see how many biscuits make up a serving, then compare the nutritional information per serving and per 100 g.
Read the ingredients and allergen information for the exact variant before serving the biscuits. According to Lotus Bakeries Netherlands, Lotus Biscoff Original contains wheat and soya; for AH Mini speculoos biscuits, Albert Heijn lists wheat and milk, among other ingredients, and warns that they may contain soya and almonds.
Follow the storage advice on the pack you choose, and seal it well after opening. Albert Heijn recommends storing AH Mini speculoos biscuits in a cool, dry place; the Lotus Biscoff variant on Joybuy should be kept away from sunlight, heat and moisture.
Check availability shortly before you buy. Jumbo lists Lotus speculoos mini biscuits for Sinterklaas as temporarily unavailable, while ALDI lists Mini butter speculoos biscuits as unavailable; these listings don’t guarantee they’ll be available when you buy them later.
