We love the smell of bacon in the morning as it wafts through the campground. Who wouldn’t? But we know there are more options for a delicious, easy, and healthy breakfast in the outdoors.
You have probably heard of the new trend in make-ahead oatmeal, or overnight oats, as some people call them. We’re seeing lots of it on Pinterest. So, in case you’d like to give it a try, we found some delicious looking recipes.
This batch of recipes that we found on Pinterest seems to be the most decadent. You could try one each day while you’re here. We’re having a hard time deciding which one to start with.
Almond butter & jelly
Banana Nut Bread
Almond Joy
Blueberry Muffin
Carrot Cake
German Chocolate Cake
Pina colada
The how-to seems easy enough. You can use glass jars or really any container of your choosing. In the evening you put equal parts of old fashioned or steel cut oats and some milk into the jar. Maybe start with 1/2 cup of each.
Then you add the personality. You can add fruit, nuts (and walnuts, of course), and/or seeds to create the flavor profile you like best.
Pop them in the fridge overnight and sprinkle them with granola, coconut, or maybe some chocolate chips and you’re ready to enjoy. We think they’d be a great start to day of fun at the campground. And they are easily customized to suit every family member’s favorite flavors.
Let us know if you try these and if you created your own combinations. We’d love to get some ideas from you and give them a try.
