Veganuary is well under way once again and has brought with it a host of NPD from Britain’s coffee shop chains and supermarkets.

While Greggs has been grabbing the bulk of the headlines with its much-anticipated ‘steak’ bake, other businesses have been busy developing products to tap the burgeoning vegan market.

Here are some of the baked goods that have caught our eye:

Costa Coffee

The coffee chain has added a Vegan Smoky Ham & CheeZe Toastie to its limited-edition January menu. It contains meat-free Quorn Smoky Ham and dairy-free melted cheese between two slices of toasted vegan bread.

Available from £2.95, it is described by Costa as “a scrumptious take on its Classic Ham & Cheese Toastie”.
