Easy Camping Breakfast ideas

1) Overnight Oats

This overnight oats recipe is perfect for a quick camping breakfast before a long day on the trails.

It is packed with healthy fats and complex carbohydrates for long-lasting energy.

Make sure that you use rolled oats rather than steel-cut or quick oats so the consistency comes out right.

I love to make my overnight oats in Stanley’s All-In-One Food Jar. It has a separate compartment that I put the fruit and nuts in to keep them fresh, and a spork that attaches to the side.

[Serves 2]

Ingredients:

• 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats

• 1 cup almond milk (or your milk of choice)

• 1/2 cup mixed nuts

• 1 banana

• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

• 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey

Directions:

1. Mix oats, milk, and cinnamon in your Food Jar

2. Let the mixture sit in the cooler or fridge overnight (at least 3 hours or up to 3 days)

3. Add banana, mixed nuts, and sweetener (optional) and serve

2) Chilaquiles with Chorizo

Chilaquiles are great for camping because you can make everything in one pan and they are ready in under 10 minutes.

[Serves 2]

Ingredients:

• 4 oz Tortilla Chips

• 6 oz Chorizo (or other source of fat for the pan)

• 4 Eggs

• 4 oz Salsa

• 2 tablespoons Greek Yogurt

Directions:

1. Add chorizo to pan over medium heat and cook for 5 minutes

2. Once chorizo is cooked, add chips and gently stir them in

3. Cook chips in the chorizo for 2 minutes to get them nice and crispy

4. Move chips to one side of the pan to make room for eggs

5. Crack eggs and scramble them separate from chips until they start to solidify

6. As eggs solidify, gently stir together with chips (the goal is to have the scrambled eggs stick to the chips)

7. Once the eggs are fully cooked, remove from heat and mix in salsa

8. Top with Greek yogurt and enjoy

3) Breakfast Burritos To-go

A simple and delicious camping breakfast that can be pre-made and quickly reheated on the fire or easily made on demand.

Ingredients:

• 4 Medium Tortillas (or 2 Large Tortillas)

• 4 Strips of Thick Sliced Bacon

• 5 oz Tater Tots or Hash Browns

• 4 tablespoons Salsa

• 4 oz Shredded Cheese

• 1 Medium Avocado (optional)

• 4 12'“ x 12” Sheets of Aluminum Foil

Directions:

1-3 days ahead of time:

1. Fry bacon to desired level of crispiness

2. Scramble eggs and cook in the bacon grease left in the pan

3. Bake / fry tater tots until they are crispy

4. Warm tortillas in microwave for 10 seconds so they are flexible

5. Layer cheese, eggs, bacon, and tater tots in center of tortilla

6. Fold in sides of tortilla and roll up into a burrito

7. Wrap breakfast burritos in the aluminum foil sheets

8. Store in fridge or cooler for up to three days

Day of:

1. Place wrapped burritos in / over fire

2. Remove breakfast burritos from the fire after 5-10 minutes depending on the temperature of the fire

3. Serve with salsa and avocado (optional)

4) Bacon Avocado Toast

Our favorite way to make avocado toast requires a Trader Joe’s Everything But the Bagel Seasoning.

We also like to put bacon on our avocado toast when we go camping because who doesn’t love the smell of bacon cooking over a campfire in the morning?

[Serves 2]

Ingredients:

• 4 slices of Sourdough Bread (or other bread of your choosing)

• 2 Medium Avocados (soft to the touch)

• 4 slices of Thick Cut Bacon

• 1 tablespoon Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning

Directions:

1. Cook the bacon to desired crispiness and set aside. Pour bacon grease out but don’t clean the pan.

2. Toast bread in the bacon pan to soak up the flavors

3. Remove the skin and pits from the avocados and smear on the bread. If your avocados are not quite soft enough to spread, warm them up over the fire for 30 seconds.

4. Sprinkle Trader Joe's Everything But the Bagel Seasoning onto the avocado

5. Add bacon to the top (or eat it separately if it didn’t last this far)
   

5) Fruit and Yogurt Parfait

If you want a easy camping breakfast without having to cook anything, try our fruit and yogurt parfaits. While we love these parfaits for breakfast, they are good any time of day.

They also make a great healthy dessert or a mid-afternoon snack.

[Serves 2]

Ingredients:

• 1 Cup Vanilla Greek Yogurt

• 1/2 Cup Bear Naked Granola

• 1 Medium Banana

• 1/2 Cup Strawberries

• 1/2 Cup Blueberries

Directions:

1. Slice banana into 1/2" slices

2. Chop strawberries into small pieces (about the same size as the blueberries)

3. Add half of the Greek yogurt to a bowl and top with half of the banana, strawberries, blueberries and granola

4. Repeat step 3 with the other half of the ingredients
