# Flaky Croissant-Style Breads Trader Joe's Cinnamon Croissant Loaf Combines Two Breakfast Classics By Katherine Pendrill | Published 2019-01-27 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-croissant-loaf References: [traderjoes](https://www.traderjoes.com/digin/post/cinnamon-croissant-loaf) Croissants and cinnamon bread and two classic breakfast dishes, and now you can enjoy both at the same time in the form of [Trader Joe's](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-twist-danish) new Cinnamon Croissant Loaf. With the airy texture of a fresh croissant and the sweet cinnamon taste of Trader Joe's signature [Cinnamon Swirl Bread](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cinnamon-swirl-french-toast-breakfast), the new loaf is the ultimate hybrid. As the brand explains, its new Cinnamon Croissant Loaf is the outcome of spiking [croissant dough](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/banquet-dor-biscofffilled-croissants) with a generous helping of cinnamon. The result is "swirls and whirls of layers, with an airy, buttery crumb and sweet, cinnamon-y flavor." Naturally, the loaf is sliced into perfect toaster-sized slices so that the bread can be enjoyed warmed, toasted, and slathered with butter. To really kick things up a notch, Trader Joe's suggests drowning a warm slice in some Grade A maple syrup.
