Allergy Free Blueberry Bread Pudding
This week I’m writing my blog from Cape Cod, where food allergy shopping is not always so easy. Given that, the featured recipe this week needed to be seasonal, and it needed to be simple for all of us who might be on vacation and out of our usual shopping comfort zones.
I knew this recipe could be made, even with limited access to allergen-free groceries. Better yet, it’s nutritious, and last–but certainly not least–it’s really easy to throw together, which is a blessing on these hot summer days when most of us prefer to stay out of the kitchen.
The challenge of converting this dessert from allergen-full to allergen-free with limited shopping ability was in finding proper substitutes for dairy, gluten, and eggs. Thankfully, most major supermarket chains, such as Stop & Shop, now carry at least one kind of gluten-free bread. That took care of replacing the gluten part of bread pudding (and by the way, gluten-free bread is GREAT in bread pudding). Additionally, most supermarkets also carry rice milk, which I use in place of cow’s milk, and all carry canola oil, which I used in place of butter. But perhaps the most surprisingly easy-to-find allergy-friendly ingredient was flaxseed meal, which I’m happy to report is now available not only at most major supermarkets but also at Wal-Mart’s all across the country! And if you can’t find flaxseed meal, you can make your own by grinding whole flaxseeds in a coffee grinder or mini chop.
Allergy Free Blueberry Bread Pudding
Makes 8 Servings
Blueberry Bread Pudding is a great way to make a decadent, yet nutritious dessert. In addition to the antioxidant properties of blueberries, this treat is packed full of fiber, omega 3 and omega 6 essential fatty acids, and is cholesterol-free! But no dinner guest would ever know it was “healthy” and “allergen-free” if you didn’t tell them. It’s “scrumtrulescent” (quote from my 9-year-old son Lennon).

Blueberry Sauce
1. Combine blueberries, jam, and water in a heavy saucepan, stirring gently. Heat over medium-high heat until starting to boil. Cook, stirring often, until heated through, and blueberries have softened slightly. Remove from heat.
