Pumpkin & Spice Snickerdoodle Cookie Mix

These cookies are as scrumptious as they look on the box, and they come together in about 15 minutes. This new cookie mix is made with pumpkin powder and the ideal blend of warm spices, including cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and clove, which yields a batch of confections you’ll want to make every weekend until winter arrives. All you need to do is add butter , an egg, and a splash of milk, which means this mix is great for a quick dessert or if you have little ones who like to help out in the kitchen. Pro tip: For a softer cookie, knock a minute or two off the 12-minute baking time.

Pumpkin Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream

While not all Trader Joe’s shoppers are fans of the Pumpkin Body Butter, the Pumpkin Ultra Moisturizing Hand Cream is a hit. Not only does this find nourish and moisturize skin as well as pricey hand creams do, but it also features exfoliating pumpkin extract, which helps give the hand cream a delightful (and not overly cloying) pumpkin scent.

Pumpkin Spice Cold Brew Coffee Concentrate

This pumpkin-forward beverage combines cold brew coffee (made with 100% Arabica beans) and a classic pumpkin spice blend of cinnamon , ginger, clove, orange peel, and nutmeg. Some shoppers think this item is a bit too heavy on those aforementioned spices, but if you dilute it with water (as directed) and add your go-to milk or creamer, it’s perfect for pumpkin spice fans who don’t want to spend money at a coffee shop every day.

Pumpkin Loaf

What’s not to like about a pumpkin loaf? This particular baked good is made, in part, with pumpkin purée and wheat flour, which gives it an incredibly moist and not-too-dense crumb. Unsurprisingly, you’ll also find a myriad of popular fall spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, ginger, and cloves, which pack every bite with flavor. What we love about this autumnal loaf is that it can be joined by a cup of coffee in the morning or warmed and topped with a dollop of whipped cream at night.

Pumpkin Spice Mini Sheet Cake

If you’ve been on TikTok recently, chances are you’ve seen this new, seasonal sheet cake . The treat boasts a spongy base that’s flavored with pumpkin purée and warm spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger , but that’s not even the best part. As many shoppers have noted, the slightly tart cream-cheese frosting that’s piped on top of this sheet cake is the real star here, and it’s the perfect companion to the moist and slightly sweet cake underneath.

Pumpkin Butter

If you’re a fan of products like apple butter and the TJ’s Organic Maple Butter , you’d be remiss not to give the Pumpkin Butter a whirl. Even though “butter” is in the name, this item has more of a jammy consistency, and customers love it for its rich, pumpkin flavor. The thickness and slight sweetness means it’s an ideal topping for pancakes, oatmeal, waffles, or yogurt, and some fans even like to include it on an autumnal cheese board for peak fall vibes.

Gluten-Free Pumpkin Ravioli

The Trader Joe’s Pumpkin Ravioli has been around for years, but this gluten-free version of the popular food is relatively new. Even though this ravioli is made without gluten, shoppers don’t seem to mind. You’ll still find pasta, made from a blend of potato and tapioca starches, as well as a filling that includes pumpkin purée, kabocha squash, and a blend of ricotta, Parmesan, and mozzarella cheeses. The ravioli is also slightly sweet thanks to a touch of honey and brown sugar, making it the ideal companion for some savory grated cheese or a rich brown butter sauce.

Pumpkin Body Scrub

This body scrub debuted last fall and is back again this year—a surefire indication that customers love it. This scrub is made with a base of exfoliating brown sugar and mega-moisturizing pumpkin, sunflower, and jojoba seed oils, which means it’s great for your skin and smells scrumptious. If you love the smell of pumpkin spice, add this scrub to your shopping list ASAP.

Pumpkin Blondie Brownies

According to shoppers, the Pumpkin Blondie Brownies are one of the best baked goods you can find at your local Trader Joe’s, and we don’t disagree. Each treat is pumpkin-forward and packed with flavors like cinnamon, cloves, and ginger. You’ll also find pieces of pecans and white chocolate chips, which add texture and even more flavor to every bite. And don’t sleep on the royal icing drizzled on top, which elevates the look of this fall confection. Pro-tip: Grab these if you see ‘em, as they often sell out!

Pumpkin Spiced Joe-Joe's Sandwich Cookies

There’s a lot going on with these cookies, which can be a turnoff for some. However, those who like TJ’s Pumpkin Spiced Joe-Joe's Sandwich Cookies really like them. Each Pumpkin Joe-Joe is covered in a pumpkin spiced yogurt-flavored coating and topped with some sea salt for balance. The cookies are sweet, and you likely won’t be able to devour a whole sleeve in one sitting, but they certainly satisfy that pumpkin craving.

Pumpkin Cranberry Crisps

If you often find yourself in the mood for a pumpkin-centered snack, add these crunchy crisps to your Trader Joe’s fall shopping list . Each one features real pumpkin blended with thyme, nutmeg, and turmeric, and is studded with dried cranberries for a pop of sweetness. As you may have guessed, these toothsome crisps pair well with soft cheeses like Brie and goat cheese, but are also great when dunked in just about any fall soup. This is another item that often sells out, so snag a box or two when you can!

Pumpkin Overnight Oats

The texture of overnight oats isn’t for everyone, but if you don’t mind it (and like all things pumpkin) track down a container of these Pumpkin Overnight Oats if you’re lucky enough to spot ‘em. Made with a mix of pumpkin purée, pumpkin spice, almond butter, and rolled oats, fans often liken this product to a “healthier” pumpkin pie filling. You can top these overnight oats with apple slices or yogurt, but if you really want to lean into the pumpkin pie of it all, opt for some whipped cream instead.

Pumpkin Brioche Twist

The Pumpkin Brioche Twist is another favorite among Trader Joe’s shoppers, and it’s not hard to see why. Each loaf is deliciously buttery and pumpkin-forward thanks to a swirl of pumpkin pie spices, including cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. And though it may not seem like, this fall bread is also incredibly versatile. You can, of course, toast it and top it with some salted butter, but it also works wonderfully as French toast or sandwich bread. The choice is yours!
