McDonalds is Now Selling Oatmeal in Select Markets

Starbucks launched oatmeal as a breakfast offering in 2008 and it quickly became one of their top-selling breakfast food. Hoping to take a bite from Starbucks, McDonalds is now hopping on the oatmeal bandwagon and has begun offering oatmeal on their breakfast menu at restaurants in Washington D.C. and Baltimore.

McDonalds maple brown sugar oatmeal sells for $1.99, and is topped with apples, raisins, and cranberries and is blended with cream. The oatmeal has only 260 calories and 4 grams of fat.

A spokesperson for McDonalds said that oatmeal has bene "well-received by customers", but that the company has not yet decided whether to expand the test to other markets or offer the item nationwide on its menus.
