McDonald’s Blueberry McGriddle Isn’t Coming Back, Despite the Hype

There’s just something about a McGriddle that makes breakfast feel like a treat. That mix of sweet syrupy griddle cakes hugging salty sausage, fluffy eggs, and melty cheese is hard to top. So when the internet started buzzing that McDonald’s might be bringing back the Blueberry McGriddle, fans practically lost their minds with excitement.

The Blueberry McGriddle Rumor Took Over the Internet

It all started with a social media post that looked like an official leak. It claimed McDonald’s was secretly testing the Blueberry McGriddle again. For fans who remembered the 2019 test run, this was huge news. Reddit threads lit up with people begging for the sandwich’s return. One user even said, “Please, I beg. I would get up early for this.”

And honestly, who could blame them? The idea of blueberry pancakes turned into a sandwich sounds like the ultimate breakfast fantasy. It wasn’t just a pretty concept either. Back in 2019, over 100 McDonald’s locations in the Washington, D.C. area actually served it. People got to try it, love it, and then watch it vanish without ever getting a national release.

McDonald’s Confirms It’s Not Coming Back

Sadly, McDonald’s shut down the rumors this week. A spokesperson confirmed on June 4 that the Blueberry McGriddle is not currently being tested anywhere in the country. In fact, the sandwich hasn’t been available at all since its limited test back in 2019.

When it first launched, McDonald’s USA Culinary Innovation team described it as a sweet-savory blend inspired by homemade blueberry pancakes. It featured real blueberries baked into those signature griddle cakes, layered with sausage or bacon, egg, and cheese. But despite the strong reactions and nostalgia, McDonald’s has no plans to bring it back.

So for now, McGriddle lovers will have to stick with the classic. The blueberry version lives on only in memories, Reddit threads, and the hearts of fans who never got to try it.
