As much as I love the shop-bought versions of these biscuits, you just cannot beat the taste of homemade.
Below, I share 9 vegan British biscuits recipes for some of the most popular classics in the UK.
All of them are suitable for egg and dairy allergy sufferers too, naturally.
9 recipes to recreate your favourite British Biscuits
1. Custard Creams
These have to be at the top of the list, the classic Custard Creams.
I created these shapes using the top of a Colman’s mustard powder lid, which FYI works very well.
The custard-y filling uses actual custard powder which is naturally vegan-friendly.
2. Bourbon Biscuits
I created these biscuits using a special cookie cutter I found online, but all you need is a rectangular shape cutter and a fork to poke to holes in top!
These are more chocolate-y than the original and therefore better. In my humble opinion.

3. Chocolate Hobnobs
Izy from Top With Cinnamon shares these healthy oaty biscuits with a generous drizzling of chocolate on top, for good measure.
4. Iced Gems
The cutest of the British cookie collection.
These are really fun to make, if not a little time consuming (icing all those tiny biscuits!)
The icing comes from my vegan royal icing recipe which uses aquafaba for a firm finish.
5. Jammie Dodgers
Jammie Dodgers are already vegan BUT they’re so much fun to make and homemade always tastes better, so give these a try instead!

6. Vegan Digestives
Mel from A Virtual Vegan shares this wholesome recipe for the classic Digestive biscuit, perfect for dunking into a cup of tea.
7. Viennese Whirls
My favourite on the list. These shortbread biscuit halves are sandwiched together by a dollop of vegan buttercream and jam. Heavenly!
8. Shortbread Biscuits
You can’t beat a classic shortbread biscuit. This recipe is so easy and easy to turn into Garibaldi biscuits too (just add chopped raisins/sultanas).
9. Jaffa Cakes
I left this one until last, so it could hide from those who refuse to accept Jaffa cakes in the category of “biscuits”.
This recipe comes from Ms Cupcake’s cookbook.
