This is barely a recipe, which is exactly the point on a morning you need something fast: mashed blueberries and softened oats swirled through plain, full-fat yogurt.
Mashing the blueberries matters more than it looks like it should. Whole blueberries are a genuine choking risk at this age because of their size and slippery skin, so always break them down first.

method
Soak the oats in the water or milk for 10 minutes, or simmer them briefly on the stove, until fully soft.
Mash the blueberries with a fork until mostly smooth, leaving a few small soft pieces if your toddler is used to more texture.
Swirl the mashed blueberries and softened oats through the yogurt.
Serve right away, chilled or at room temperature.
chef's tips
- Whole blueberries are a real choking hazard for toddlers because of their size and smooth skin. Always mash or quarter them, even past the first-foods stage.
- Full-fat, plain yogurt is the better choice at this age over low-fat or flavored yogurts, which often carry added sugar a toddler does not need.
- Softening the oats first, rather than adding them dry, keeps the texture smooth and easy to swallow.
- This travels well in a small, lidded container if you want it as an out-of-the-house snack.
