Maple Streusel Bread

"Trader Joe’s Maple Streusel Bread will make you say, “Hmmm...” That’s because you’ll see the loaf in a bag and you’ll think, “Yeah, bread.” But then, you’ll open the bag and see the glaze and crumbly streusel on top, and you’ll muse, “Cake?” No doubt, you’ll take the next step of biting into the moist crumb—furthering that cake credibility. But what will really strike you is the rich, maple flavor, prompting the thought: “This is bread for now; it’s autumn bread.” (You may simultaneously be having a side conversation with yourself about whether maple really is a seasonal flavor—or if it should be a year-round treat.) In the end, your “Hmmm…” will definitely become a “Yummm…”—and that’s no matter whether you toast it and slather it with Cultured Salted Butter, or eat it fresh out of the bag, next to a steaming cup of coffee."
