Choose mini stroopwafels with a stated weight per piece or a clear serving size if you want to take a small amount with you in a hurry. A larger bag may suit you if you portion it out in advance for several mornings. Treat stroopwafels as a sweet addition to your breakfast, and always check the current label if you have allergies or need to avoid gluten.
You want to take something small and sweet with you without any preparation. A stated weight per piece or a clear serving size helps you decide how much to pack; Albert Heijn and Jumbo include this information for the mini varieties we looked at.
You want to set aside a few mini stroopwafels before you leave. Even with a bag for several occasions, check the number of pieces and the serving information: a large pack won’t portion itself.
For you, the ingredients and allergen information matter more than the size. The regular varieties we looked at list ingredients including wheat, milk or soya; even if a product is labelled gluten-free, you should still check for other allergens.
Decide how much you want to take with you and whether the packaging makes it easy to portion it out in advance. Think about what else you’ll have for breakfast, too; if you have an allergy or need to avoid gluten, the label takes priority.
