How Do You Make Pancakes While Backpacking?

By Robert Palmer

Pancakes are a great way to start the day while backpacking. They are easy to make, taste great, and provide enough energy to last throughout the day.

However, since you’re backpacking and most likely don’t have access to an oven or stovetop, you need to get creative when it comes to making pancakes. Here are some tips on how to make pancakes while backpacking.

Using Dehydrated Pancake Mix:

Dehydrated pancake mix is a great option if you don’t want to bring all of the ingredients with you and just need something that is quick and easy. All you need is hot water!

Just follow the instructions on the package and add water until the desired consistency is reached. Be sure to add enough water so that your pancakes aren’t too dry.

Making Your Own Batter:

If you would rather make your own batter, it’s surprisingly easy! The only ingredients you will need are flour, baking powder, sugar (optional), salt (optional), and water.

Start by adding your dry ingredients together in a bowl and whisking them together until they are evenly combined. Then slowly add water until your desired consistency is reached. Finally, heat up a skillet over a campfire or stovetop and pour the batter onto the skillet for each pancake.

Adding Toppings:

Once your pancakes are done cooking, top them off with your favorite toppings! Syrup is always a classic choice but there are plenty of other options such as nut butter, fruit jam or jelly, honey, chocolate chips or even nuts! You can also add some fresh fruit if it is available at your campsite.

Conclusion:

Making pancakes while backpacking is easier than you think! With just a few simple ingredients and some creativity, you can enjoy delicious pancakes anytime during your trip.

Whether you decide to use dehydrated pancake mix or make your own batter from scratch, just remember to add enough liquid so that your pancakes aren’t too dry. And don’t forget about topping them off with delicious toppings for an extra special treat!
