Pumpkin Bagels (LIMITED-FALL)

Partnering with a bakery proficient in pumpkin, we set to work on this new seasonal freshly-baked bagel special. We used pumpkin flour, milled from fresh pumpkins, to make sure the pumpkin flavor was pronounced. Adding a carefully measured blend of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger – the essence of pumpkin pie – we brought the right balance of subtly sweet squash and warm seasonal spices into the soft chewy roll with a hole. It was no easy feat, but it was worth it.

Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bagels make a celebrated Fall breakfast, especially when toasted with a layer of cream cheese. Add a hot cup of Pumpkin Spice Coffee and the season simply hugs you. They also makes outrageous BLTs using our Applewood Smoked Bacon. Or, for something more dessert-y, try them with Cookie Butter or Cocoa Almond Spread.
