  1. Combine oats, chia seeds, almonds, brown sugar, powdered peanut butter, cinnamon, cocoa powder, and salt in a zip-top sandwich bag before your trip.

  2. 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.
