Sugary Blueberry Biscuits

This Fruit-Filled Pastry is a Hearty Alternative to Morning Muffins

— September 4, 2015 — Lifestyle
McDonald's is currently testing a fruit-filled pastry that provides a hearty alternative to traditional muffins and breakfast sandwiches. McDonald's has been gradually improving its breakfast menu over the years in order to provide a more wide variety of options. These flaky pastries provide a tasty alternative to some of the more traditional breakfast choices.

The new menu addition is a wholesome biscuit that is stuffed with whole blueberries. The fruit-filled pastry is made from scratch and topped with a generous helping of sweet icing. The Blueberry Biscuits are being tested in North Carolina, where they have already been well received. Biscuits are extremely popular in the Southern United States and the new biscuit is likely an attempt to better cater to regional tastes and preferences.

The Blueberry Biscuits are an excellent breakfast alternative for those who are looking for something other than muffins and breakfast sandwiches.
Trend Themes
1. Fruit-filled Pastries - There is an opportunity to develop and introduce more fruit-filled pastries as a hearty and tasty alternative to traditional breakfast items.
2. Regional-specific Menu Items - Creating region-specific menu items is a way to cater to local tastes and preferences, which can help increase customer satisfaction and loyalty.
3. Breakfast Menu Innovation - Continued innovation in breakfast menu items can provide variety and attract new customers who are looking for more options beyond traditional breakfast sandwiches and muffins.
Industry Implications
1. Fast Food - Fast food chains can continue to innovate and introduce new items on their menu to entice customers and stay competitive.
2. Bakery - Bakeries and pastry shops can create their own versions of fruit-filled pastries with unique flavors to attract more customers.
3. Food Manufacturing - Food manufacturing companies can develop and produce fruit-filled pastries for sale in grocery stores, convenience stores, and other retail outlets.
