Croissants and cinnamon bread and two classic breakfast dishes, and now you can enjoy both at the same time in the form of Trader Joe's new Cinnamon Croissant Loaf. With the airy texture of a fresh croissant and the sweet cinnamon taste of Trader Joe's signature Cinnamon Swirl Bread, the new loaf is the ultimate hybrid.
As the brand explains, its new Cinnamon Croissant Loaf is the outcome of spiking croissant dough with a generous helping of cinnamon. The result is "swirls and whirls of layers, with an airy, buttery crumb and sweet, cinnamon-y flavor." Naturally, the loaf is sliced into perfect toaster-sized slices so that the bread can be enjoyed warmed, toasted, and slathered with butter. To really kick things up a notch, Trader Joe's suggests drowning a warm slice in some Grade A maple syrup.
