Make-Ahead Brownies for Your Camping Trips

We love brownies when camping. Whether to just snack on during the day or to add to s’mores cones or banana boats for dessert in the evening (recipes to come later). After all, calories don’t count when camping, right?

We used to get the brownie bites from Costco or Safeway but then I realized I have a great recipe everyone loves so why not just make ahead. Super quick to make and so much better than store bought! Also you can pre-measure out the dry ingredients into multiple mason jars during some down time saving you time the week of camping to whip together. Just dump dry ingredients into a bowl, add eggs, butter, water and vanilla and bake for about 20 minutes!
