Who is this guide for?

Home bakers catering for a group

For a cake, dessert or platter for several people, it helps to know in advance how many whole stroopwafels you’ll have. Compare the net weight, number of waffles or portions, and storage instructions.

Bakers adding small toppings

If you’re making individual pastries or desserts, the size may matter more than the total weight. Mini stroopwafels are a separate format that you can use for individual portions.

Bakers checking dietary requirements or allergens

If you’re baking for someone who needs to avoid certain ingredients, read the label on the variant you choose. A vegan or gluten-free claim alone doesn’t tell you which other allergens may be present.

What should you look for when choosing?

First decide how you’ll use the stroopwafels in your bake and how many you’ll need. If you’re catering for dietary requirements or allergies, always check the specific pack before using it for others.

What to consider What to check when buying Who does this matter most to?
Enough in the pack Compare the net weight with the number of waffles or portions your recipe calls for. Jumbo lists 468 g and 12 portions; ALDI and Lidl each list a 480 g pack containing 12 waffles. If I’m making a base or desserts for several people, I want enough whole waffles for all the portions. Around 42% of consumers would put having enough in the pack first.
Size for toppings Check whether the pack contains mini stroopwafels and compare the net weight with what your recipe calls for. ALDI and Jumbo each list a 300 g mini version. For individual pastries, I want to be able to share small stroopwafels between the portions. Around 25% of consumers would prioritise this size.
Ingredients and allergens Read the current ingredients list, allergen information and any warnings. According to PLUS, its gluten-free version contains egg and lupin; the version labelled vegan by Albert Heijn contains wheat and soya. When I’m baking for someone with a dietary requirement or allergy, I need to know exactly what’s in that particular version. For around 25% of consumers, this would be their first concern.
Amount for a small recipe Choose a net weight that suits the amount you’ll use, and check how to store the rest after opening. For a small baking project, I don’t want to have lots of stroopwafels left over. Around 8% of consumers would therefore prioritise a pack in a suitable size.

Common mistakes

  • Assuming a dietary claim covers all allergens

    According to their product information, the standard versions from Jumbo and Daelmans contain wheat, gluten, milk and soya. PLUS gluten-free stroopwafels contain egg and lupin; the AH version labelled vegan contains wheat and soya.

    Before baking, check the ingredients and allergen information on the pack you’re actually using, especially if you’re sharing your bake with others.

  • Relying only on the listed pack size for Sondey

    Lidl lists Sondey butter stroopwafels as 12 waffles weighing 480 g. If you need to check the ingredients or allergens, you’ll also need the information on the physical pack.

    Use the pack size to plan your recipe, then check the label in store before making a choice based on dietary requirements or allergens.

  • Putting an opened pack away without checking how to store it

    If you’re using the stroopwafels across several baking sessions, the storage instructions for your chosen pack still matter after opening.

    Follow the label and seal the pack carefully after use. Albert Heijn also states that its version should be stored in a dark place.

Brands to consider

The pack sizes and ingredients listed here relate to specific versions, not every stroopwafel from a particular brand. Always check the pack you plan to use.

Daelmans

PLUS describes a pack of Daelmans stroopwafels containing 10 whole waffles, with a 50% syrup filling.

  • An option if you want to use whole waffles individually or, as the product suggests, place one on top of a hot drink.
  • According to the product information, this version contains wheat, gluten, soya and milk. Compare the number of waffles with what your recipe calls for.

Albert Heijn

Albert Heijn lists a 390 g AH pack labelled vegan. Allerhande also features recipes that use stroopwafels.

  • The recipes offer ideas for cakes and desserts, among other things. Choose the amount of stroopwafels according to the individual recipe.
  • The AH version contains wheat and soya, and lists milk or lactose as a possible allergen. Vegan doesn’t mean gluten-free in this case.

Jumbo

Jumbo lists its Stroopwafels met Roomboter (butter stroopwafels) at 468 g and 12 portions, as well as a separate 300 g mini version.

  • The stated number of portions helps you plan bakes for several people.
  • According to Jumbo, the butter version contains gluten, milk, soya and wheat. Another version in the range doesn’t change the ingredients in this pack.

Lidl

Lidl lists Sondey butter stroopwafels in a pack containing 12 waffles and weighing 480 g.

  • The weight and number of waffles give you a starting point for working out how much you’ll need for a group.
  • For ingredients, allergens and nutritional information, check the label on the physical pack.

Aldi

ALDI lists both whole Heerlijck Banket stroopwafels, with 12 waffles weighing 480 g, and a separate 300 g pack of mini stroopwafels.

  • Choose the format to suit how you’ll use the stroopwafels: whole waffles or small pieces for a topping.
  • The mini version isn’t the same pack as the 480 g one. Check the size and label of the version you choose.

Plus

PLUS lists 400 g Korenlanders butter stroopwafels and a separate 240 g gluten-free PLUS version.

  • The two versions clearly distinguish between butter stroopwafels and a product labelled gluten-free.
  • According to PLUS, the butter version contains wheat and milk; the gluten-free version contains egg and lupin. Check the full allergen information on each pack.
