Dutch Griddle Cakes
Price: $3.49
Griddle cakes are often considered thicker with a springier texture than a pancake, and Trader Joe's offers some that are already fully cooked and frozen — so you can toss them in a microwave or toaster and miss the morning mess.
Stores in Pennsylvania and California have been spotted limiting quantities to between one and four per customer, so don't wait to try these.
Cheddar Cheese & Turkey Sausage Egg White Bites
Price: $3.49
Eggs are supposed to be a fast breakfast option, but cracking and scrambling is still too long when it cuts into your snooze time. Trader Joe's is now offering a new ready-made option that can be popped in the microwave and ready in a minute.
Their egg bites use aged cheddar-parmesan cheese, red pepper, black pepper, sage, coriander, and rosemary-seasoned turkey sausage for a decadent breakfast taste that only takes minutes.
Brioche Style Liège Waffles
Price: $3.99
Try a different kind of Belgian waffle from the city of Liège. These small handheld waffles have a sweeter dough similar to brioche. The ingredients include cultured butter, pearl sugar, and egg to give a unique flavor to a breakfast favorite. Trader Joe's offers these pre-packaged and ready-to-eat at room temperature in the bakery section.

Chicken Sausage Breakfast Bowl
Price: $4.29
Some days, you need a hearty breakfast on the fly, and a frozen breakfast bowl is quick and portable, so you can eat it anywhere there's a microwave. Trader Joe's uses herb-seasoned chicken sausage, eggs, and cheese to keep your on-the-go breakfast healthy and delicious.
Gluten Free Blueberry Muffins
Price: $5.99
These wheat-less wonders are made from cornstarch, tapioca starch, oat flour, and three different types of rice flour — and loaded with blueberries for that perfectly sweet fruit flavor. If you love Trader Joe's blueberry muffins but have gluten sensitivity, these will improve your mornings.
