vegan protein<\/a> punch while also being gluten free and vegan. Containing pea protein, chia seeds, almonds, brown rice protein and more, this well-balanced biscuit is well worth tucking into.<\/p>\n3. Doves Farm Lemon Zest Cookies<\/h3>\n
These gluten free cookies from the Doves Farm \u201cFreee\u201d range are perfect for those looking for that bite of lemon zest with their cuppa. Available from Planet Organic, they compare well to premium cookies but they are excellent value for money in comparison.<\/p>\n
4. Nairn\u2019s Dark Chocolate Chip Oat Biscuits<\/h3>\n
Nairn\u2019s Oatcakes have long been a vegan snack staple, but their flavoursome biscuits are well worth checking out too, especially the Dark Chocolate Chip ones.<\/p>\n
5. Ginger Nut<\/h3>\n
A true classic of the biscuit world, Ginger Nuts are widely available, both the original McVitie\u2019s version and various supermarket own-brand versions. They are a solid, satisfying biscuit that can handle tea dunking with ease.<\/p>\n
6. Bourbon Biscuits<\/h3>\n
Another old school favourite that has lasted through the decades without every requiring a redesign, the Bourbon is a sandwich style biscuit that holds its appeal across the generations. Vegan versions are available in most supermarkets, including Tesco and Asda, and they are usually amongst the cheapest biscuits on the shelf!<\/p>\n
7. Tesco Oaty Rounds<\/h3>\n
Also known as Oaties, these are very similar in appearance, style and taste to the original Hobnobs biscuits. However, the Tesco own-brand version get the nod over Hobnobs for our Top 10 on the basis that they are less than half the price. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and Tesco have flattered well in this case.<\/p>\n
8. Fox\u2019s Party Rings<\/h3>\n
No children\u2019s party is ever really complete without a plate or two piled high with Fox\u2019s Party Rings. Their brightly coloured appearance might well hint at one or two nasty additives, but in fact they colours are from concentrates of things like safflower, radish, apple and blackcurrant. These probably still won\u2019t give you one of your five a day, but they are plenty of fun!<\/p>\n
9. Kookie Cat Salted Caramel Almond Cookie<\/h3>\n
Here you will find a very sumptuous biscuit that balances sweetness with a satisfying texture. Available from various outlets, including Planet Organic.<\/p>\n
10. Oreos<\/h3>\n
One of the most popular and widely available biscuits in the world, Oreos might look like they\u2019d be full of milk-based products, but as we discuss in our dedicated Are Oreos Vegan?<\/a> article, they don\u2019t actually contain any non-vegan ingredients. However, on the Oreo UK website the company who makes them states, \u201cOreo have milk as cross contact and therefore they are not suitable for vegans.\u201d<\/p>\nDespite this, there are many vegans who simply disregard the risk of cross-contact on the basis that there are no animal-derived ingredients deliberately contained within. Ultimately, the choice is yours, but we\u2019ve added them to our Top 10 lists because they are so darn tasty!<\/p>\n
Other Heroes of the Biscuit World<\/h3>\n
There are plenty of other noteworthy heroes of the biscuit world that almost made it into the Top 10, but let\u2019s spare a thought for the many contenders who just fell short of greatness. Here we\u2019ll run through the main options for those willing to look beyond the elite (and yes, we have included the Rich Tea biscuit\u2026 out of sympathy).<\/p>\n
Vegan-Friendly Biscuits by Category<\/h2>\n
To keep things in some semblance of order we\u2019ll present the best vegan biscuits options based on their particular category, covering everything from shortbreads to sandwich, biscuit bars to party biscuits. In the name of completeness, we will include any that we have already mentioned in our Top 10 in their appropriate category.<\/p>\n
So, let\u2019s kick things off with perhaps the most sought-after biccies of the lot: chocolate chip cookies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
While many biscuits that contain chocolate contain milk or other animal-derived ingredients, a decent (and growing) number do not. Here are the top chocolate chip cookie options for vegans:<\/p>\n
