Biscuits and tea. Biccies and a cuppa. Shorties and a brew. Whatever you want to call the classic pairing, there's nothing better than a crunchy biscuit and a steaming cup of tea. And we've got some of the best gluten-free biscuits around.
As part of our delicious range of free-from snacks and treats, we've got an entire lineup of biscuits free of gluten, milk, eggs and nuts, and they're vegan.
But one thing these gluten-free biscuits aren't free of? Taste! They've got all the same nostalgic feel of homemade biscuits with our signature Lazy Day flavours. Whether you're a lover of spicy ginger biscuits or a crumbly shortbread fan, there's something in our range for everyone.
And because we know how much better biscuits taste with a cuppa, we've asked our team to give their favourite tea to pair with their choice of biscuit.
Pop the kettle on, put your feet up, and let's talk all things gluten-free biscuits.

Pair Your Scottish Shortbread with Earl Grey Tea
No matter how you feel about Earl Grey, it's an undeniably perfect complement to this classic Scottish biscuit. The slight smokiness of the tea cuts through the sweetness of the buttery shortbread, creating a balanced flavour combination and pleasant texture.
Chocolate Chip Shortbread (Like Normal Shortbread, But Better)
Next up on our shorties tour: Chocolate Chip Shortbread. We added a few chunks of dark Belgian chocolate chips into the dough to take this classic treat to the next level. And just like our classic version, these are gluten-free and vegan-friendly.
Share them around the room or office, or devour them yourself – once you start, it's hard to stop! Our sharing boxes have plenty enough to go round.

Pair Your Choc Chip Shortbread with English Breakfast Tea
Shortbreads pair well with dark teas, and David (our Senior National Account Manager) loves to pair this combination with a freshly brewed pot of English breakfast tea. It balances the sweetness of the shortbread and strengthens the chocolatey flavour – perfect for an afternoon treat!
Our favourite English breakfast tea brands are PG Tips, Yorkshire Tea and Twinings, but these choc chip shorties will go with whatever you choose.

Pair Your Golden Syrup Oaties with Chai
Our Golden Syrup Oaties pair exceptionally well with a cup of chai.
Chai has a spiced, aromatic taste that perfectly compliments the sweet flavour of our oaties. It won't overpower the delicate taste of the golden syrup, so you can really enjoy each and every bite.
Crispy & Fiery Gluten-Free Gingersnaps
These gluten-free Ginger Biscuits are a team favourite at Lazy Day, and for good reason. The ginger kick is perfectly balanced by the subtle sweetness, creating a unique flavour that will tantalise your taste buds.
The golden brown snaps are also perfect for dunking as they retain their crunch even when soaked in a hot cup of tea. Plus, the fiery ginger flavour is a great way to wake up your senses and get you ready for the day ahead.

Pair Your Ginger Biscuits with Lemon Tea
Ginger and lemon are a well-known and loved pairing, so marrying up the two flavours in your tea and biscuit is a match made in heaven! The zesty tartness of the lemon perfectly balances out the fiery kick of the ginger, creating an unbeatable combination that'll keep you coming back for more.
Lemon tea is super easy to make yourself at home (simply add a few slices of lemon to your teapot and brew for five minutes). Or, you can pick up some delicious pre-made tea blend in the supermarket at the same time you're grabbing your Lazy Day snacks.
Rustic Stem Ginger Oaties, Free From Gluten, Milk & Egg
For another hit of delicious ginger, our Stem Ginger Oaties are the perfect snack. Not only do they taste amazing, but they're also free from gluten, milk and eggs.
Gluten-free oats, sweet golden syrup and warming stem ginger are tumbled together and baked to perfection for a satisfying crunch.

Pair Your Stem Ginger Oaties with Assam Tea
If we were to pick another tea pairing other than lemon tea, it's got to be a more robust and malty Assam. The full-bodied flavour of this black tea is perfect for cutting through the sweetness of our Stem Ginger Nuts and creating a delicious contrast.
Sharon (our NPD Director) particularly loves Twinings loose-leaf Assam tea – it's perfect for a slow-brewed cup.
Chocolate Chip Oaties – Free From Gluten & Full of Chocolatey-Goodness
Finishing off the range of oaty treats and gluten-free biscuits are our Chocolate Chip Oaties. These classic gluten-free oats are enriched with dark Belgian chocolate chunks for a mouthwatering combo.

Pair Your Choc Chip Cookies with Matcha Green Tea
Caitlin (our team’s Marketing Assistant) recommends pairing these Chocolate Chip Oaties with a cup of matcha green tea for an invigorating and energising pick-me-up. The chocolate's natural sweetness complements the matcha's earthy, grassy taste perfectly.
You can sweeten your matcha tea with a spoon of honey or agave syrup to mellow out the bitterness. But when you serve it with these delightful oaty biscuits, the sweetness of the combination will make your taste buds sing!
