It’s officially pumpkin season, and our grocery store boo Trader Joe is here to help all of our fall dreams come true. Whether you’re all about autumnal pantry staples, soul-soothing desserts or unexpected savory mains, there’s something on this list that will hit the spot. Read on for the best pumpkin products to scope out at Trader Joe’s this year. (Spoiler: There are a ton.)
The Best Pumpkin Products to Buy at Trader Joe’s This Fall
Brazil Cerrado Arabica beans meet pumpkin spice oil, orange peel, vanilla beans and warm spices to create the best of sweater season—in a mug.
These Indian-inspired pastries are stuffed with spiced pumpkin filling and paneer cheese. And thanks to their size, they can totally be swapped in for canned biscuits or dinner rolls.
Just looking at this soup gives us all the warm and fuzzies. It contains a secret ingredient that makes it nutty, decadent and beyond creamy: tahini. (There's a pumpkin-butternut squash bisque on shelves as well, in case that's more up your alley.)
Pumpkin puree holds down the fort for traditional tahini, while maple, vanilla, sugar and spices transform vine-dried garbanzo beans into an epic dessert spread.
5. Non-Dairy Pumpkin Oat Beverage
It's begging to be frothed and added to a homemade PSL. Might we suggest pairing it with TJ's Just The Clusters Maple Pecan Granola Cereal as well?
Icing-topped cinnamon rolls meet creamy pumpkin pie. Bake them in a skillet monkey bread-style, then let your guests rip and indulge to their hearts' content.
It's destined for your next seasonal charcuterie board. Keep it classy by pairing it with herby crackers, goat cheese, spiced nuts and olives, or slather it on a bagel with cream cheese.
9. Gluten-Free Pumpkin Streusel Muffins
These wheat-free breakfast delights are made with white and brown rice flours, corn starch and tapioca starch instead of AP flour, so gluten-free eaters can nosh all they'd like. Oh, and that brown sugar-oat topping? *Chef's kiss.*
11. Pumpkin Sticky Toffee Cakes
You're only one minute away from devouring these decadent cakes. They're gooey with pumpkin, dates and brown sugar, but the sticky toffee sauce on top takes them to a whole new level.
These are made specially for your Keurig, so you can serve yourself a single cup of joe without brewing a whole pot. The moment you open the box, you'll be enveloped in the aroma of fall spices.
13. Pumpkin Bread and Muffin Mix
This mix makes fall baking a breeze, since all you need to add to it is eggs, oil and water. Go wild with mix-ins like chopped nuts, cranberries or diced apples.
14. Pumpkin Spiced Joe-Joe's Sandwich Cookies
This annual favorite is new and improved for 2022. Now these pumpkin-flavored sandwich cookies are enrobed in a spiced yogurt coating and topped with sea salt, resulting in an impeccably balanced treat.
Can you believe the pint is nearly 20 percent pure pumpkin puree? We'll take a heaping scoop atop a warm slice of pecan pie, please.
17. Howling Gourds Pumpkin Ale
PSA, pumpkin beer stans: Did you know you could stock up at TJ's? This crisp, subtly sweet ale is teeming with balanced notes of seasonal spices and pumpkin.
18. Honey Roasted Pumpkin Ravioli
Meet your new go-to weeknight dinner. The filling is a comforting medley of sweet pumpkin, honey, brown sugar and molasses, plus two types of cheese.
19. Pumpkin Bagels
The key ingredient here is pumpkin flour milled from fresh gourds, along with a blend of fall spices. Pair them with smoked bacon, cinnamon cream cheese or pumpkin coffee. (There are also gluten-free pumpkin bagels, in case you're sensitive to wheat.)
20. Pumpkin Spice Espresso Beans
Picture whole, 100 percent Arabica coffee beans from Brazil, enrobed in white chocolate, pumpkin powder and aromatic seasonal spices. Good luck not eating the whole bag in one sitting.
We'd happily roll out of bed for this breakfast, even on a particularly chilly October morning. They're gluten-free, dairy-free and ready to eat right out of the fridge. (Oh, and they're sweetened with date paste—not sugar.)
22. Organic Raw Pumpkin Vinegar
Don't look now, but the apple cider vinegar in your pantry is getting jealous. It's made with fresh, cold-pressed pumpkins, making it an unexpectedly delicious addition for salads, stews, sauces or even cocktails.
Pasta night (or um, the third one this week) just got a million times more exciting. Pumpkin is the first ingredient, but it's in good company, alongside Grana Padano and Pecorino Romano cheeses, garlic, onion and sage.
Because *everyone* should be able to get in on fall's quintessential quick bread. AP flour is substituted with chickpea flour, rice flour and tapioca starch to make it gluten-free.
Complete with white chocolate chips and pecans for good measure. Their uber moist texture and a delicate drizzle of royal icing make these one TJ's product you'll search for year after year.
