McDonald's Adds McGriddles to Australian Breakfast Menu

McDonald's Australia has added McGriddles to its permanent breakfast menu, starting July 9. The sweet and savory sandwich features a breakfast filling between pancakes infused with maple syrup. Australia fans have been "obsessed" with McGriddles, which were trialed earlier this year, while New Zealand fans will have to wait.

McDonald's Australia has announced the addition of McGriddles to its permanent breakfast menu, set to launch on July 9. The sweet and savory sandwich features a breakfast filling between pancakes infused with maple syrup. This new item has generated significant enthusiasm among Australian fans who previously enjoyed a trial run of McGriddles earlier this year [1].

The McGriddles menu includes various options, such as Sausage and Cheese McGriddles, Bacon, Egg and Cheese McGriddles, and Sausage, Egg and Cheese McGriddles. These options replace the traditional English muffin with two soft and fluffy maple-infused pancakes, offering a unique twist on the classic McMuffin. The addition of McGriddles is part of McDonald's ongoing efforts to enhance its breakfast menu, which already includes popular items like crispy hash browns, toasted McMuffins, and cracked eggs [1].

A spokesperson for McDonald's Australia commented on the addition, stating, "Our Aussie fans absolutely obsessed over the sweet and savoury flavours of McGriddles when we trialled it earlier this year. Safe to say, we got the message and gave our iconic breakfast menu a glow-up by adding it to the national menu" [1].

While McGriddles have been well-received in Australia, New Zealand fans will have to wait for the new menu item to be introduced. This strategic rollout allows McDonald's to gauge the market response and potentially adapt the menu to local preferences [1].
