Impulsive Buy reader Brad spotted these muffins at a McDonald’s location in Chicago. They are a Quaker Oats product and are available in three varieties — Double Chocolate, Blueberry, and Cranberry Orange. The muffins are being sold for $1.69 each or with a small coffee for $2.29.<\/p>\n

According to this MLive.com post<\/a>, the new muffins were tested in Michigan late last year. The article also revealed they’re baked daily at the restaurant and a berry bran version was also tested.<\/p>\n

This isn’t McDonald’s first attempt at muffins. A few years ago, the chain experimented with a line of baked goods<\/a> that included muffins, scones, and banana bread.<\/p>\n

Chicago is a known test area for McDonald’s and the muffins aren’t listed on the McDonald’s website so they appear to be still in the testing phase.<\/p>\n

If you’ve tried any of them, let us know what you think of it in the comments.<\/p>\n
