Banana Bread with Roasted Cocoa Nibs

While we at Trader Joe’s are fans of a good classic, we also like the idea of finding ways to make something a little bit better, wherever we can, whenever we can. Take this recipe: it’s a variation of our Banana Bread Mix, using tahini in place of canola oil for a hit of nutty flavor. (Roasted Cocoa Nibs are added for good measure, and also crunch.) The result is a fragrant, nutty loaf that…

Salted Caramel Flavored Hot Cocoa

While it’s generally accepted that the Mayans were the first to make a beverage out of chocolate, this drink bore little resemblance to what we now know as hot chocolate. It was spicy and bitter and definitely an acquired taste. It’s the seventeenth century Europeans, historically speaking, who get the credit for adding sugar to this bitter concoction, making it eminently more palatable and…

Yellow Jackfruit Curry with Jasmine Rice

You could say jackfruit is having a moment. And we could say, if we were prone to hyperbole and self-aggrandizement, that Trader Joe’s has been instrumental in orchestrating that moment. What we will say, clearly, is that the early and exciting success of our Green Jackfruit in Brineled us to the realization that American palates have an appetite for jackfruit. And that realization led us to the…

Kiss My Cornbread with Jalapeños & Bacon

“…and bacon.” While that may be enough to convince most folks to give the Kiss My Cornbread recipe a try, we’d like to convince the rest of you that this is a concoction worth recreating in your own kitchen. Folding Hot & Sweet Jalapeños into the pleasantly sweet Cornbread Mix gives you some heat, without any need for fire extinguishers. Including bacon makes it that much more delicious,…

Spud Crunchies

There was a time when people thought the Earth had to be flat. There was also a time when people thought potato snacks had to be flat. Back then, snackers supposed that they must eat flat chips to enjoy crispy, crunchy potato pieces.

But snacks evolve, and new Trader Joe’s Spud Crunchies Potato Snacks deliver that same crunch in a spear-shaped, fry-like form. Spud Crunchiesare the potatoes you…

Trader Joe's Sparkling Pressed Apple Juice Beverage

Trader Joe’s Sparkling Pressed Apple Juice Beverage

Though the cultivation and enjoyment of apples has waxed and waned throughout history, it’s safe to say the apple has a strong foothold in today’s culture. Appreciation for this prized pome has spawned numerous sayings (the apple of your eye, as American as apple pie, etc.) and a ubiquitous brand of technology, not to mention some very popular Trader Joe’s products—among them, Apple Blossoms, Ap…

Tahini, Pepita & Apricot Slaw Kit

In 2015, we released our very first complete salad kit that wasn’t actually a “salad.” Our Broccoli & Kale Slaw Kit is, well, slaw (in the general sense of the word).

This recipe was dreamed up by one of our Buyers, who…
