Easy Campfire Muffins Recipe to Try

Once I found this cute cast iron muffin tin, like this one, I knew I was going to have to test out some muffins for breakfast. I’ve mentioned this before but I used to make my own pancake/baking mix before a camping trip until I learned about Kodiak Pancake Mix which can be used for many different baking items, I haven’t looked back. It is easy to use, delicious and packed with protein! I highly recommend if you haven’t checked them out before.

Ingredients –

  • 2 cups Kodiak Pancake Mix
  • 2 Bananas
  • 2 eggs (I pour from my egg water bottles that I prep before the trip and gauge 2 eggs)
  • 1/2 cup cinnamon sugar mix (1 part sugar to 3 parts sugar like I use for monkey bread recipe)
  • 1 to 1.5 cup water
  • Brown sugar
  • Oil or cooking spray
  • Foil

Delicious Campfire Breakfast Sandwich Recipe

Last Christmas one of my sisters and her husband got me a new camping tool.  So last December, I started looking up ideas on what to use it for and breakfast sandwiches were my first thought.  Even though we believe there are no calories during camping, I still went with a healthier turkey breakfast sausage vs. other meats but you can use whatever type of breakfast meat patties you are craving.  If you would like to do turkey breakfast sausages, please check out my previous recipe post here – Homemade Turkey Breakfast Sausages

Ingredients –

  • Breakfast sausage patties
  • Eggs
  • English muffins
  • Sliced American cheese
  • Cast iron cooking iron like this one

Directions –

  1. Scramble eggs in a pan either on campfire or propane grill if you have one
  2. Warm (or cook if you didn’t make ahead) the breakfast sausages
  3. Assemble sandwiches by layering a sliced English muffin on the bottom of the cast iron, top with a meat patty, some scrambled eggs, a slice American cheese and top with the top of the English muffin
  4. Close cast iron cooking iron and hold over the campfire for about 5 – 8 minutes until the cheese has melted and the English muffin is toasted
  5. Remove and add hot sauce (if you are into that type of thing) and enjoy!

Make-Ahead Breakfast Sausage for Camping

So while you can definitely make these simply at your campsite with the ingredients and a bowl, I like to make ahead to save time in the morning. You can also freeze these after making which helps keep the cooler cold

I am also lucky to have Oaktown Spice Shop locally and highly recommend their spice blends especially this breakfast sausage one. Yes, you can make your own spice blend but theirs is so tasty, I haven’t made one in years!

Ingredients –

  • 1 lb. ground turkey
  • Salt
  • Oaktown Spice Shop Breakfast Sausage blend
  • Maple syrup (optional)

Directions –

  1. Knead 2 tsp. salt into 1 lb. ground turkey for a few minutes in a large bowl
  2. Add 2 tbsp. of breakfast sausage spice and mix together with hands
  3. Add 1-2 tsp. maple syrup depending on how sweet you like making sure patties remain sticky
  4. Form into small patties
  5. Heat oil in a fry pan
  6. Add patties to pan and cook for about 5 minutes
  7. Flip and cook for another 5 minutes or until the center is 165 degrees
  8. Add to freezer bags if storing in freezer or can keep in refrigerator for 3-4 days
