Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal

Creamy oats, fresh blueberries, and a swirl of lightly sweetened “cheesecake” adds up to a hot breakfast bowl that will leave everyone full and happy.

The sweet and slightly tangy cream cheese is a great balance to the hearty oats and warm berries that burst in each bite.

My friend Faith mentioned her Blueberry Oatmeal with a Cheesecake Swirl last week and I couldn’t get it out of my mind. We are confirmed oatmeal lovers, so I had to try cheesecake oatmeal for myself.

I made this Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal two days in a row and my kids loved it every bit as much as I expected they would.

Blueberry Cheesecake Oatmeal

1. Combine the oats, water, and salt in a medium-size saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer on medium/low until the oats are tender and the oatmeal has thickened, about 5 minutes.
2. While the oatmeal is cooking, combine the cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla in a small bowl. Stir, or mash with a fork, until the mixture is mostly smooth.
3. When the oatmeal has thickened, remove from the heat and stir in the blueberries.
4. Scoop the oatmeal into serving bowls and divide the cream cheese mixture between the servings. Stir gently to swirl the cream cheese through each dish.
