November marks World Vegan Month – a time to recognise and celebrate plant-based choices. For many, it’s also a chance to discover new foods that fit into everyday life.

At Stockan’s, we’re proud that many of our oatcakes are approved by the Vegetarian Society as suitable for vegans. It’s something that reflects both our careful ingredient choices and our commitment to making products that can be widely enjoyed .

Why Oats Work So Well in a Plant-Based Diet

Oats have been part of the Orkney food story for centuries. Naturally versatile, they provide fibre, slow-release energy and a texture that makes them a strong foundation for meals and snacks.

Baked into an oatcake, they offer a crisp, balanced base that pairs with a wide range of plant-based toppings.

Vegan Topping Ideas with Stockan’s Oatcakes

If you’re looking for inspiration during World Vegan Month, here are a few combinations to try. These are just a few examples – the neutral flavour of our oatcakes means they can be topped with whatever you enjoy most.

  • Hummus and roasted peppers – creamy, colourful, and quick to prepare
  • Avocado with chilli flakes – smooth with a little kick
  • Nut butter with sliced apple – sweet and savoury in one bite
  • Beetroot dip with toasted seeds – earthy, vibrant and full of crunch

Stockan’s Oatcakes: Vegan Choices

Across our range, there are plenty of options for plant-based diets. From Mini Oatcakes in Original and Cracked Black Pepper to Thin, Thick & Beremeal Triangle Oatcakes, as well as the Spelt Wheat, Herb & Papper from our Orkney Heritage range, vegan choices are available in a variety of flavours and formats.

They’re handy for packed lunches, snack boards, or simply kept in the cupboard for when you need something quick.

Celebrating Plant-Based Eating

World Vegan Month is about more than labels – it’s about enjoying food that feels right for you. Stockan’s Oatcakes are made with care in Orkney, using recipes and methods that have stood the test of time. This month is a reminder that our oatcakes can fit naturally into plant-based eating, offering both variety and choice.
