Crumpets are the perfect breakfast item or snack, because they are filling, delicious and there are so many different ways that you can eat them. We are sharing our favourite Vegetarian Crumpet Toppings to give you some new meal and snack inspiration.

Crumpet Toppings

Whether you are a sweet or savoury person, crunchy or smooth, we have a topping for you! Forget pancakes, crumpets are the new toppable breakfast or snack in town and we are showing you how to take them to the next level with these 10 Vegetarian Toppings (you could easily use meat though)

Are crumpets healthy?

Crumpets are fairly dense and high in calories compared to bread, but they are much more filling. It all comes down to the topping and if you load it with fruit or veggies, then you can have a healthy crumpet.

You can also buy crumpet thins now, which are about half the calories of a regular crumpet.

How to eat crumpets

I distinctly remember the first time that I ever tried a crumpet. My Dad had been working early in the morning and he was back home around the same time I was waking up for breakfast.

I saw him buttering these round bread-like circles and asked if it was a new kind of toast. No quicker than one was passed to me, it was in my mouth and I have been hooked on crumpets ever since.

We never got more adventurous that butter or jam on our crumpets when I was a kid, so ever since I have been experimenting with different ways to jazz crumpets up.

    I've never thought about topping my crumpets with anything other than butter... Maybe I am boring! I do love that Warburtons are doing a gluten free crumpet, my sister has to have a gluten free diet and she will be so happy to see she can eat crumpets again x

    What a selection! I love what a broad range of gluten free products there are available now. But, isn't all tomato purée gluten free??

    It's so good that more places are introducing gluten free products, even going back a few years it wasn't as easy to get things. Some great topping options x

    I have never tried anything else on crumpets other than honey, jam or butter so to see so many different toppings has filled me with inspiration. I'm don't have a gluten intolerance but my friend does so I'll be letting her know about these crumpets specifically- I know she really misses the ones that she used to have before she found out about her intolerance! xxx
