Even though it’s still technically summer, Sam’s Club’s bakery has already decided it’s time to lean into the very best flavors of fall. Between their pecan and pumpkin pies, tasty cake bites, and trays of cookies, there’s already a little something for every sweet tooth.
But they’re not finished tempting us. This week, they rolled out another seasonal gem that might be the most irresistible one yet.
Take a look at this must-try find in a video shared on September 5:

Holy smokes! This Caramelized Banana Pecan Loaf looks divine. Shopper @samsclublovers spotted it just in time for weekend shopping, and it already looks like it’s set to be a bakery favorite.

The loaf itself is fresh-baked, super moist, and packed with rich banana flavor that is elevated by gooey caramel and crunchy pecans on top. It’s comfort food in sliceable form.
Each loaf is large enough for about 12 generous slices, and at $9.63, it’s hard to beat. When you think about how a single piece of plain pound cake can run $4 or more at a coffee shop, this feels like a bargain that makes sense to stock up on.
And the versatility is part of the appeal. Pair a slice with your morning coffee, enjoy it with tea in the afternoon, or warm it up and cover it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for dessert. However you decide to serve it, this loaf has the flavor and texture that make it the star of the table.

Freezing Sweet Breads
If you can’t polish off the whole loaf while it’s fresh, or if you want to grab a couple before this flavor disappears, sweet breads like this freeze well.
If you have a vacuum sealer, you can store individual slices or larger pieces, keeping them air-tight and fresh. Without one, the next best method is to wrap the loaf tightly in plastic wrap and then place it inside a freezer-safe bag, pressing as much air out as possible.
Slices thaw quickly, usually in about 15 to 30 minutes, while bigger sections may need a few hours on the counter. Either way, you’ll have a bakery-worthy treat ready to enjoy whenever the craving hits.
If Sam’s Club’s bakery keeps delivering treats like this, fall might be the season to wander through their bakery aisle daily.
