Trader Joe's is expanding its pumpkin offering to include new Gluten Free Pumpkin Streusel Muffins.
Just in time for sweater weather, brightly colored leaves, and pumpkin carving, Trader Joe's new Gluten Free Pumpkin Streusel Muffins are a perfect treat for a fall day. The base of the muffin is made from a blend of white and brown rice flours, corn starch, and tapioca starch. Ths unique blend gives the muffins a light and moist texture, with added flavor from the addition of pumpkin purée. For even more flavor, the muffins are then topped with a spiced streusel topping made from a blend of brown sugar, butter, oats, and more pumpkin spices. As Trader Joe's puts it, "Every single bite yields a little burst of pumpkin-y goodness!"
