Backpacking Recipe: Ginger Almond Berry Oatmeal
Instant oatmeal is easy enough to make, but doesn’t keep me fueled for very long, so I make my own oatmeal mix with almonds, chia seeds and coconut milk powder for protein.
Ingredients
Makes 1 serving
-
1/2 cup whole rolled oats
-
2 tablespoons coconut milk powder
-
2 teaspoons chia seeds
- 2 teaspoons organic cane sugar (vary the amount based on your preference)
-
2 tablespoons sliced almonds
-
2 tablespoons freeze-dried berries
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla powder
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
At Home
Combine all ingredients (except coconut oil) in a plastic bag or vacuum seal for longer storage capability. Package coconut oil separately. I like to buy packets from Trader Joe’s.
At Camp
- add 1/2 cup of water to a backpacking stove
- add all ingredients to the pan
- bring to a boil
- simmer for 2 minutes, stirring often
- turn off fuel
- add coconut oil, stir and cover
- let sit for 5 minutes
