You know that fall has really arrived because Trader Joe's has just begun serving up its fan-favorite autumn products and this year's lineup includes the new Pumpkin Loaf.
Available for just a limited time, the new Pumpkin Loaf is a delicious take on pumpkin spice flavors. The wheat flour-based loaf features a moist crumb and a generous pumpkin flavor profile made up of spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves. A hint of vanilla is also added to elevate the overall flavor and the whole thing is dusted with sugar for just an extra touch of sweetness.
While the new Pumpkin Loaf makes for a delicious dessert when paired with some vanilla ice cream, you can also enjoy it at breakfast slathered in your favorite nut butter.
