These high-protein camping pancakes have become one of our favorite camping breakfasts. They're easy to prep ahead, require minimal cleanup, and gave us the energy we needed for an 11-mile bike ride. If you're looking for an easy camping meal that's both delicious and filling, save this recipe for your next trip!

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats

• 1 cup cottage cheese

• 4 eggs

• Dash of cinnamon

Makes 4 servings

Optional Toppings

• Honey

• Maple syrup

• Fresh fruit

• Peanut butter (for an extra protein boost!)

Prep Before Your Trip

One of my favorite camping hacks is making the batter before we even leave home.

Simply blend all of the ingredients until smooth and pour the batter into a mason jar with a whisk ball. Store it in your cooler until you're ready to cook. In the morning, add a splash of water if needed and give the jar a good shake.

Less mess. Less cleanup. More time enjoying those slow camp mornings.

How I Cook Them at Camp

I butter my cast iron griddle before pouring the batter onto the hot surface. We cook ours on our Coleman propane stove, and they come out fluffy every time.

Camp Coffee Setup ☕

Since I'm usually the only coffee drinker, I keep things simple with a Stanley pour-over coffee filter that fits right on my YETI mug.

I'll also link a budget-friendly pour-over option that I've personally used and loved.

If you're camping with family or a larger group, I definitely recommend bringing a camp percolator instead. That's what we use whenever we're camping with more people, and it's much easier for making multiple cups at once.

Make It a Complete Camping Breakfast

These protein pancakes are delicious on their own, but if you want an even heartier breakfast before a day of hiking, biking, or exploring, serve them with:

• Eggs

• Sausage

• Bacon

• Fresh fruit

  
  

It's the perfect fuel for a full day of adventure.

Happy camping! 🏕️
