Teddy Grahams were one of my favorite snacks as a kid, hell even as a teenager before I got into healthy eating and veganism. Now, don’t get down in the dumps because of that statement; I’m not saying Teddy Grahams aren’t Vegan.

In fact, most flavors of Teddy Grahams are vegan, with only a few varieties/flavors being non-vegan and my personal favorite one, these chocolatey chip Teddy Grahams, are 100% Vegan.
Overall Teddy Grahams comes in 6 flavors/varieties of which about half are Vegan. One contains Honey, two contain dairy/eggs, three others are 100% Vegan as we discuss below.
Which Teddy Grahams are Vegan?
- Cinnamon Teddy Grahams
- Chocolate Teddy Grahams
Those two teddy graham varieties/flavors are the vegan ones, the others are non-vegan due to containing honey or eggs/milk.
To be specific, the “Honey” Teddy Grahams aren’t vegan simply because they, well, contain actual Honey. The Chocolatey Chip Teddy Grahams may not be vegan because of the confectioner’s glaze, just like in Panera.

They’re pretty much just crackers with a little added flavoring, composing of largely wheat-flour, a bit of sugar, a bit of oil, and basic bread leavening agents like baking soda to help them during the cooking process and make them the crunchy tasty crackery things they are.

Are Teddy Grahams Healthy?
Healthy is relative; I’d consider Teddy Grahams to not be horribly unhealthy, but they’re not really a health-food either. I’d say you shouldn’t kick them out of your diet if you like them, just don’t sit an eat a box in a single sitting or eat many boxes a week. They’re great for traveling or a snack with some tea or whatever to hold you over until your next meal.
