Strongly urging all pumpkin lovers to head to their local Trader Joe’s ASAP and pick up this pumpkin bread mix. Waiting would not be a good idea since this is one of their seasonal items and once they are gone they are gone for the year! I already stocked up on some, but I plan on going back this week for more since my little one seems to love it more than myself. A toddler approved quick bread mix is my kind of morning. I love making it the night before since this bread seems to get a little moister over night. When I wake up the next morning there is a beautiful slice of spice and happiness waiting for me. Enjoy with your favorite cup of warm coffee and I’m telling you your going to wish you had bought the entire store out of this mix.
What to serve with Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Bread
Now, lets elevate this bread to a whole new level… Pumpkin Bread with Warm Chocolate Sauce
I want you to take that simply amazing pumpkin bread and pour warm chocolate sauce all over! Trust me when I say your going to love this! I’ve tried over the years adding chocolate into the bread with chocolate chips and other items, but this way of enjoying my chocolate and pumpkin in one bite is by far the most phenomenal version I have found. Don’t get me wrong I love my pumpkin pie and fresh whipping cream, but I think this has to be my favorite fall treat!

Last suggestion I have is one my favorite baking tools, Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch® Nonstick Loaf Pan, the 1.5 pound loaf pan is my favorite for this bread! Just oil the pan and use with such ease. You will have no problem flipping the bread right out of this pan fifteen minutes after cooling, unlike most pans that the bread gets stuck to. For any of your bake goods I highly recommend the Goldtouch bakeware line.

Yum! This sounds amazing, I am wanting to make these as gifts with a little jar of the chocolate sauce on the time. How would you adjust the bake time and temperature for mini loaf pans?
Davis, Great question, I have not tried with this specific recipe. I did a little research and everyone is suggesting you do a test pan and that typically mini loafs take 25-30 minutes. Just remember I have not tested this recipe specifily though 🙂 hope this helps!
HI how much chocolate chips should I put in?
Hi Nikki, About 1 cup is to my liking, I use mini chocolate chips when adding to the bread because they tend to not sink as much!
I love this bread too! And never thought about adding chocolate chips…yummy! Wanted to make ia load for a school bake sale and bought a tin loaf pan that is 8″ X 3 7/8″ with lid. It is a little smaller than suggested 9 x 5. Do you think that is ok? Do I need to make any baking time/temp changes when cooking in a tin pan? Any suggestions? Thank you!!!
Hi Sarah,
Using a smaller pan tends to make the cooking time a bit longer for the center to be fully cooked and this sometimes can result in the ends being slightly overdone.
I live at altitude over 5000 ft. What adjustments should I do to the batter?
