Best Winter Breakfast (without cooking)

[John Adams]

It's been a while since I've been backpacking in the winter, but I'm tired of my old stand by–2 packets of oatmeal. I just want to open up something and eat it. No clean up. I only want to heat water for my coffee (VIA). I looked through another thread and shortening bread and chocolate with nuts and fruit seems like a good breakfast.

I get tired of bars, especially when frozen. :)

Any other ideas for a decent breakfast that doesn't require cooking and isn't hard as a rock in the morning??

The temps will be 3F-19F.

I didn't even think about cooking ahead of time, but that's a great idea. I could put it in the sleeping bag with me over night to keep it warm.

Good call!

Any other ideas??

There is so much you could be eating in morning that doesn't require cooking, nor cleanup. Since you boil water for coffee, anything FBC will work just fine. Think cheesy loaded potatoes, bacon grits, and so on. Oatmeal isn't the only thing!
Or think wraps. You can pile on many things into a tortilla!

Roger, this violates LNT principles.

I took the advice from someone in an earlier thread on this topic and baked up some supercharged (and oversized) oatmeal cookies for breakfast. On my last trip I had these for breakfast most of the mornings. No cook, easy, didn't get tired of them either. I modified this recipe:

Homemade granola, milk powder, dehydrated fruit on top (kiwis are good).

See there, Roger Dodger knows how good spam is for you :-)

Just wanted to say thanks for the responses.

"How about a banana? bury the peel." Please don't bury garbage anytime, anywhere. Banana peels, orange peels, uneaten food. The only uneaten food you can bury is fish bones, heads and guts, because they came from that environment and will decompose there.

If you are boiling water for coffee, put some eggs, bacon (precooked), and cheese in a baggie and float it in the boiling water. No fuss no mess no utensil to clean up.

That's a great idea Bob.
