Trader Joe’s has done it again, this time adding another pumped-up pumpkin creation to its fall offerings.
The fan-favorite grocery chain put shoppers in a tizzy with its limited-time Sliced Pumpkin Sourdough bread. For $4.99, customers can taste the fall flavors of pumpkin purée, cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.
The bread is already getting rave reviews, too, with one user on Reddit saying, “Take my money.”
The Trader Joe’s website also said it has added a bit of sugar to “accent the natural sweetness of the pumpkin and to enliven those warm pumpkin spices.”
While the Monrovia-based chain suggests grabbing a toasted slice and spreading salted butter on it, Reddit had other plans. A trove of Trader Joe’s fans rushed to the post, sharing all the ways to enjoy the tasty toast.
One user recommended turning the bread into a sweet breakfast option, using it as the base for French toast. Another commented, adding a couple of heaps of apple butter to it.
Customers have already tried making the dish, giving it a chef’s kiss.
“We did this morning. Topped with brown butter, pumpkin butter, and maple syrup.”
Shoppers are loving the bread for one reason: it’s not too sweet. Fans claim there’s only a hint of sweetness and “much more spice forward, kind of peppery,” than sweet.
Those looking for a bit of a sweeter treat, the grocery giant has just restocked its shelves with tons of other fall favorites — sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
The chain recently rolled out its Apple Cider Donuts and Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake — both priced under $6. The donuts — an autumn essential on the East Coast — are made by a family-owned bakery based in western Massachusetts.
Each hand-rolled cake-style donut comes topped with a heaping of cinnamon and sugar, straight out of the fryer. And its secret ingredient — real apple cider — is what TJ’s claims gives it the “moist, fluffy texture and slightly tangy flavor.”
Along with the donuts, Trader Joe’s brought back its $5.99 Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake. The rotating Mini Sheet Cakes come in a variety of flavors over the year and as the seasons switch, the pumpkin is back.
Each cake is the perfect “smaller format” and comes with a convenient lid to keep the moist cake succulent. TJ’s describes the dessert as a “spongy crumb, flavored by pumpkin purée and warm spices.”
