Ingredients
-
1 cup instant oats
-
2 tablespoons chia seeds
-
2 tablespoons slivered almonds
-
4 teaspoons brown sugar
-
2 teaspoons powdered peanut butter (such as PB2)
-
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
-
½ teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
-
1 pinch salt
-
2 cups water
-
1 (1.2 ounce) package peanut butter (such as Justin's)
Directions
-
Combine oats, chia seeds, almonds, brown sugar, powdered peanut butter, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and salt in a zip-top sandwich bag before your trip.
-
When ready to cook, bring water to a boil in a pot. Pour oatmeal mixture into the pot and briefly stir. Remove from the heat. Cover until water is fully absorbed, about 5 minutes. Stir in peanut butter.
Tips
If this meal is for one 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.
Any of Justin's nut butters work well.
