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

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!

Ingredients –

  • 1 2/3 C. granulated sugar
  • 3/4 C. cocoa
  • 1 1/3 C. all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 t. baking powder
  • 1/4 t. salt
  • 3/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla

Directions –

  1. Preheat over to 350 degrees
  1. Mix together dry ingredients
  2. Add melted butter, eggs, water and vanilla and mix until well blended
  3. Spray a 13×9 baking dish and spread the brownie mixture evenly in it
  1. Bake for about 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean
  1. Remove and let cool in pan
