Cinnamon Swirl Bread

Trader Joe’s bakery section is always brimming with delicious, seasonal loaves of bread, cakes, and cookies.

Now that it’s Fall, that means this Cinnamon Swirl Bread is back.

This is an exciting bread, and shouldn’t be confused with TJ’s streusel bread, which is a bit gooey and sticky and more like a dessert.

This is a heartier bread, with big swirls of cinnamon that are not at all sweet. It’s almost savory, rather than sweet.

It’s great on its own, but especially shines warmed up and slathered with peanut butter.

Apple Cider Donuts

If you don’t feel like it’s Fall until your first warm apple cider, then these are the donuts for you.

Trader Joe’s Apple Cider Donuts are a Fall staple, and it’s easy to see why. These delicious cake-style donuts are coated with thick cinnamon sugar and while there’s no apple directly in them, they evoke happy apple cider memories.

Interestingly, I tried these last year and thought they were just okay. They seemed a little dry and the coating was sparse. I don’t know whether HQ got my memo or I just got a bad box, because neither of those things were an issue this year.

Apple Cider Donuts come six to a box, and are found in the bakery section near the front of the store (with the cakes, Kringles, etc.). As with all the seasonal products, they’re here for a limited time only, so grab them while you can.
