1,340 calories makes this the largest item in the breakfast section, and $8.59 was the recorded price.
One McDonald's big breakfast with hotcakes price was recorded from published US listings in August 2026, at $8.59. McDonald's puts the tray at 1,340 calories, the largest single-item figure in its breakfast section. Hotcakes account for exactly 580 of that, because the same tray without them is 760. On price they add $1.89, against $5.69 recorded for Hotcakes ordered on their own. No company figure exists.

If something goes wrong
1,340 calories cannot be right for one order
- Cause
- It is the company's own figure, and it reconciles cleanly. A Big Breakfast without hotcakes is 760, plain Hotcakes are 580, and 760 plus 580 is 1,340 exactly.
- Fix
- Order the tray without hotcakes to remove 580 in a single step. Nothing else on this build drops the total by anything like as much.
The board price is above $8.59
- Cause
- Just one reading stands behind that number, and about 95% of American restaurants are franchised with the operator setting prices.
- Fix
- Read the figure in the McDonald's app with the restaurant selected before ordering.
Hotcakes seem cheaper as part of this than on their own
- Cause
- They are, on the figures recorded. Hotcakes alone came in at $5.69, while the step from the plain tray to this one is $1.89, which is roughly a third of the standalone price.
- Fix
- Where hotcakes are the point of the order, price this tray against Hotcakes and Sausage in the app before choosing.
The largest number on the regular menu, and where it comes from
No single item McDonald's sells in the US carries a bigger calorie figure than this one. At 1,340 it is more than four times a Bacon, Egg & Cheese Biscuit and nearly ten times a hash brown, and it is the only breakfast listing that crosses a thousand. Where the number comes from is not a mystery, which is the useful part.
What's in it
Five components on one tray: scrambled eggs, a sausage patty, Hash Browns, a warm biscuit and three hotcakes. Strip the hotcakes off and what remains is the plain Big Breakfast at 760. The gap is 580, and 580 is precisely what McDonald's gives for Hotcakes sold on their own, so the arithmetic closes without any rounding. Below the calorie line nothing could be read at all: fat, sodium and sugars arrive by script after the product page loads, and the allergen grid with them.
Is it worth it
The hotcakes are the part that pays. Standalone Hotcakes were recorded at $5.69, while the step from the plain tray at $6.70 to this one at $8.59 is $1.89, so buying them inside the build costs about a third of buying them beside it. That is the strongest bundling case anywhere in the breakfast section. Against the company's own $4 Meal Deal, this tray runs 2.1 times the price for 2.2 times the calories, which is close to level on that crude measure and worse on every other, since the $4 build includes a coffee and this one does not.
A fifth of the tray is also available separately, which makes it easier to take apart than most orders. Hash Browns are 140 calories and were recorded at $2.79 as a single item, so roughly a third of what this tray costs is a side that can be bought alone, for a tenth of its calories.
Whether any of that is value depends on a question the arithmetic cannot answer. Two thirds of a 2,000-calorie day arrives on one tray here, and the case for it rests entirely on all of it being eaten. Half a Big Breakfast with Hotcakes left on the tray is $8.59 spent on 670 calories, which is worse than almost anything else in the section. Finish it and $8.59 buys more calories per dollar than anything else priced on this page. Leave half and the same money buys less than the plain tray does.

Questions people ask
How much is the Big Breakfast with Hotcakes?
$8.59 was the only figure recorded from published US listings in August 2026, and McDonald's publishes no price of its own. A single reading is thin, so the app gives a better local answer.
How many calories are in the Big Breakfast with Hotcakes?
1,340, from McDonald's, and the largest single-item count in the breakfast section; a 40 Piece Chicken McNuggets reaches 1,650. Removing the hotcakes drops it to 760. The sodium and sugar rows on the product page could not be read.
Is it cheaper than buying Hotcakes separately?
On the recorded figures, yes. Hotcakes alone came to $5.69 while the step up from a plain Big Breakfast is $1.89, so the same 580 calories cost about a third as much inside the tray.
Is this page an official McDonald's price list?
No. HelpMeLogin is independent and has no connection to McDonald's. The 1,340-calorie count is the company's; the $8.59 was recorded from published US listings and checked in August 2026.
Can this site tell me the price at my local McDonald's?
No. Operators set their own prices, and about 95% of American restaurants are run by franchisees. The app with a restaurant selected gives that restaurant's figure, which this page cannot.
