A MCDONALD'S breakfast is often thought of as a treat and something that can be enjoyed occasionally.

Fast food lovers can pick a variety of options ranging from the famous McMuffins to burritos and sausage biscuits.

Several items have been discontinued but the chain's famous bagel sandwiches could be making a return.

Diners used to be able to treat themselves to a cinnamon roll with their hot coffee, but the product was shelved, Eat This, Not That reported.

But, the baked treat has been replaced by something that’s incredibly similar.

Restaurants across the country sell cinnamon rolls that have been topped with cream cheese icing.

Americans who love to eat fruit at breakfast have been left disappointed as McDonald’s fruit and walnut salad has also been axed.

McDonald’s is known for trying out new concepts but its Spanish omelet bagel missed the mark.

It included sausage, pepper jack cheese, onions, egg, green peppers, and a special breakfast sauce.

A McDonald’s spokesperson said at the time: “Breakfast sandwiches, like the Egg McMuffin, have been long-time favorites.

“We are confident our customers will enjoy bagel sandwiches just as much.”

McMuffins have been a feature on the menu at McDonald’s restaurants for decades.

Diners can either choose to have a sausage McMuffin, a sausage McMuffin with egg, or a plain egg McMuffin.

The chain trialed an Eggs Benedict McMuffin that came with Hollandaise sauce but it failed to wow diners.

The iconic fast food chain also used to sell an all-day breakfast and a fruit and yogurt parfait – both of which are no longer on offer.

But, diners can still treat themselves to a McDonald’s big breakfast.

The meal comes with a biscuit, sausage patty, egg, and a hash brown.

Customers with a sweet tooth can indulge in a fudge or caramel parfait instead.

But, McDonald’s popular bagels seem to be making a comeback.

Diners were left thrilled when the chain brought the sandwiches back on a limited-time basis in November.

Four months later, the menu item is still available – but it's only available in several parts of the U.S.

The egg and cheese sandwiches -- which also include a serving of bacon, sausage, or steak -- can still be purchased in Chicago, Washington, DCNew York City, and parts of Ohio and New England, Oh My Mag reported.

It's not clear if or when the sandwiches will be brought back nationwide.

McDonald's did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Bagels aren't the only McDonald's menu making a comeback.
