Serves 4

4 slices gluten-free bread

6 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat oven to 350°F. Cut the slices of bread into bite-size pieces. Combine melted butter, sugar, and cinnamon. Drizzle over cut bread in a mixing bowl and lightly toss to coat. In another bowl, combine blueberries, brown sugar, and lemon juice. Prepare four 8-oz. ramekins by spraying with cooking spray and putting on a baking sheet.

Step-by-step tutorial:

Gather your ingredients. You will need gluten-free bread, butter, sugar, cinnamon, blueberries, brown sugar, and lemon juice.

Cut your bread slices into bite-size pieces.

In a microwavable bowl, melt 6 tablespoons butter. Stir in 3 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Drizzle over bread and toss to coat.

In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup fresh blueberries, 1/4 cup brown sugar, and 2 teaspoons lemon juice.

Stir until blueberries are coated.

In four greased 8-oz. ramekins, divide half of the bread mixture. Evenly distribute the blueberries among the ramekins. Top with remaining cinnamon-sugar bread cubes. Bake at 350°F for 15-20 minutes or until toasted and heated through.

This recipe can easily be doubled (which is what we usually do). You can even splurge and top with a little whipped cream!

Anytime you serve this, your kiddos will feel the love.
