Recipe For Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal

  

This week I poured over my cookbooks looking for something healthy. I found an amazing way to make breakfast into a decadent treat without a ton of fat or calories. And, if I skip the graham crackers and use gluten free oatmeal, I can STILL eat it! Woot Woo!

My kids weren’t too sure when they saw what I was making. Oatmeal never causes them to jump up and down. However, they all gave it the thumbs up and said it was really good. I think it would taste really good with cherries or strawberries. Some might like it with bananas, too.
