Many people (especially people who love pumpkin) would argue that fall is the greatest time of the year. And one of the best things to look forward to whenever the leaves start to change and the air gets crisp is all the seasonal treats at our favorite restaurants and grocery stores. From limited time drinks at Starbucks to apple cider donuts, it’s hard not to find something you love out there. And when it comes to grocery items that won’t disappoint, it doesn’t get much better than Trader Joe’s.
TJ’s really knows how to do seasonal items—and their fall selection is just about the best of the best. The only issue is that sometimes they sell out before we can even get our hands on ’em! Below, we’ve rounded up 6 of the best fall items you can find on shelves right now so that you can act fast before they’re gone.
1. Pumpkin Brioche Twist
Trader Joe's certainly knows how to make some great brioche bread, and this pumpkin edition is unbeatable. It's buttery, subtly sweet, and perfectly soft. Flavors of pumpkin and spices like cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg make it an idea option for French toast. Of course, it's also great straight out of the bag.
2. Pumpkin Spiced Joe-Joes
We love Trader Joe's iconic sandwich cookies. While there are a lot of seasonal versions of this sweet treat, the Pumpkin Spice Joe-Joes are definitely somewhere at the top of the list. Not only are they filled with a pumpkin spice cream, but they've also been dipped in Pumpkin Spice yogurt and topped with sea salt. Our mouths are watering!
3. Pumpkin Ice Cream
Trader Joe's is always coming out with one delicious ice cream flavor or another. Pumpkin lovers absolutely have to try this one. It contains real pumpkin purée and pumpkin pie spices like nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger, and clove. Plus, this has less air in it than most, so it's ultra-rich. Sign us up!
4. Pumpkin Butter
Maybe you've heard of apple butter, but have you have tried Pumpkin Butter? There's no time like the present! Trader Joe's delicious pumpkin butter works great as a spread for toast, a mix-in for your oatmeal, or even an addition to your bagel and cream cheese. It can go sweet, it can go savory, but no matter what way you take it, it's all-around delicious.
5. Pumpkin Oat Beverage
This is the non-dairy milk you need for all your vegan Pumpkin Spice Latte needs! Trader Joe's has combined their classic oat beverage with pumpkin purée, natural pumpkin-spice flavor, cane sugar, and sea salt, and the result is straight-up delicious. It tastes great in coffee, but we also suggest using it to bake: try it out with the TJ's Pumpkin Spice Pancake Mix, your favorite fall cookies, or even that French toast you'll turn the Pumpkin Brioche Twist into.
6. Harvest Chili
Okay, are you sick of the sweet stuff? We've got a recommendation for all of the non-pumpkin lovers, too. Nothing says "fall" like a hearty soup; That's where this Harvest Chili comes in. Complete with black beans, butternut squash, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, pumpkin puree, and chili spices, it's exactly what you'll be craving on a chilly night.
