Choose a large pack of full-size syrup waffles if you want enough to last for several coffee breaks. Mini waffles or twin packs are better when you want to serve smaller portions or take some with you. Compare the net weight and number of waffles, and check the current label for the exact variety you’re buying if you have dietary or allergen requirements.
If several people regularly sit down for coffee, the pack weight and number of waffles or servings can help you decide how many to keep in the biscuit tin. Jumbo lists its butter syrup waffles as 468 g and 12 servings; Albert Heijn lists its regular syrup waffles as 390 g and 10 servings.
Mini waffles are a good option if you want to serve smaller ones at the table. A twin pack is useful if you’d rather portion out two waffles at a time or take them with you. Lidl lists Sondey mini syrup waffles, while PLUS lists a Daelmans Duo Pack.
Ingredients vary from one variety to another. Jumbo lists wheat, milk and soya among the ingredients in its butter syrup waffles. According to the product information, Albert Heijn’s organic gluten-free syrup waffles contain egg and lupin. So make sure you check the label on the pack you choose.
First, think about how many waffles you usually serve at once. Then consider which size and ingredients suit your household.
| What to consider | What to check when buying | Who it matters to |
|---|---|---|

The weight of a pack doesn’t tell you how many waffles you’ll want to serve at each coffee break. Albert Heijn lists its regular 390 g pack as 10 servings; ALDI lists Heerlijck Banket as 12 waffles in a 480 g pack.
Look at the number of waffles or servings as well as the weight, and choose based on how you serve them at home.
The words ‘gluten-free’ don’t tell you about all the other allergens. According to the product information, Albert Heijn’s organic gluten-free syrup waffles contain egg and lupin.
Check the full allergen information for the variety you choose every time you buy it, even if you’ve bought it before.
