Backpacking Oatmeal Recipes

BACKPACKING OATMEAL

Backpacking Oatmeal image

I created this recipe for a bike ride from Pittsburgh to DC. This recipe should make 2 people very full, and give you the mix of carbs and protein that you need for a long day of biking or hiking. It's quick to prepare, and effortless to cook at camp. If this meal is for 1 person, just halve the recipe when packing. If packing for a multi-day trip, use a bag for each day to simplify cooking. I use a Nalgene® bottle to measure the water.

Choco-Classic oatmeal. With your camping oatmeal hot, add an obscene amount of brown sugar and chocolate chips. Admittedly, I’m a sucker for this style of oatmeal, despite the complete lack of nutrition.
Tropical oatmeal. In this recipe, add a variety of dried fruits (preferably pineapple, peaches and pears) and coconut shavings to the oatmeal. Sprinkle cinnamon and nutmeg on top and enjoy.
S’mores oatmeal. Not the healthiest way to start your day, but a delicious one nonetheless. You know when you’re making s’mores and there are crumbled graham cracker pieces at the bottom of the package?
Apple Pie oatmeal. Cinnamon, nutmeg and diced or dried apple are cornerstone to this bowl of camping oatmeal. A little shaved coconut never hurts either.
Sweet & Savoury oatmeal. This recipe is met with mixed reviews. Cut leftover bacon into small pieces (or you could try packaged bacon bits) and top the oatmeal with shredded cheddar cheese and diced apples.
Healthy Hippie oatmeal. This is a hearty recipe: chia seeds, ground flax seeds and hemp hearts make it nutritious, while dried cranberries, cinnamon and nutmeg give it flavour.
Maple oatmeal. Maple syrup in oatmeal – a Canadian classic, eh? Instead of brown sugar, sweeten this bowl with maple syrup, adding in toppings like craissons and coconut to create texture.
Kitchen Sink oatmeal. This recipe got its name because I usually take my bowl of oatmeal and throw every possible topping in but the kitchen sink. Whatever toppings are available – chocolate chips, dried fruit, spices, coconut, banana and apple, spices and brown sugar – I’ll toss it ALL in.
