Blueberry Oatmeal Popsicles (Gluten Free Vegan/Dairy Free option)

Blueberry Oatmeal Popsicles are a perfect breakfast. Made from real oatmeal heated up and cooled then mixed with some blueberries and yogurt. These blueberry popsicles make a surprisingly healthy and nutritious treat that are food allergy friendly: gluten free, soy free, peanut free, tree nut free and has a dairy free and Vegan option.

Blueberry Popsicles with Oatmeal (gluten free Vegan Option) Breakfast as a popsicle! Even sweetened with maple syrup like hot oatmeal.

Summer is a time to enjoy cooler treats. Often times, popsicles come with higher calorie and low nutritional values…Unless it’s a fruit based popsicle made from cooked oatmeal, blueberry and a little maple syrup to sweeten things.

As you know, I am in love with two things: Blueberry and Oats. Ever since my son passed his oat food challenge I’ve been dreaming of more ways for us to eat it and receive all the nutrition. Hot oatmeal was of course the first thing Mr. Naughty tried. But let’s be honest. Hot AND Summer go together, but not with meals (unless you’re Olaf from frozen).

I realized how much we needed some homemade popsicles after we got back from vacation in HOT Florida. Temperatures were in the low 90’s everyday with up 80-90 % of humidity. Bleh…gross… hot. We didn’t have access to a Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods and I wasn’t able to find a safe and healthy popsicle for the kids. I actually borrowed this popsicle mold from my friend, Lisa who bought it at Amazon. It’s the Norpro Ice Pop Maker for about $18. I have to say it worked really well. I’ll be ordering my own for next year. (Just got it and can’t wait to make more popsicles)

Make you own healthy popsicles!
