How to Make a Quick Camping Breakfast

Camping can be one of the best ways to get out in nature and enjoy the world around us. However, not all of us are set up with the proper or basic gear we need to make the transition from home living to camping.

Use this clever hack to keep your cooking ingredients together in a convenient and easy-to-use bottle, minimizing the likelihood of spills and messes. This simple prep method is perfect for anyone renting an RV or heading out on their first camping adventure.

What You'll Need

• 2 empty creamer bottles (clean and dry)
• Raw eggs
• Water
• Pancake mix
• Mixing bowl with a spout
• Whisk

Step 1: Remove Wrapping from the Creamer Bottles

To know what is in each bottle, take off the wrapper around each creamer bottle to reveal the clear plastic underneath. This makes it easy to see your ingredients at a glance.

Additional tip: Use a permanent marker to list the contents of the bottle on the bottle itself or the lid. This is especially helpful when packing multiple bottles in your RV kitchen.

Step 2: Crack and Mix the Eggs in a Separate Bowl

To avoid making a mess, use a separate bowl with a spout to crack and mix the eggs in. This makes pouring much easier and cleaner.

Mix until the texture of the eggs is consistent all the way through or to personal satisfaction. A good whisk will help eliminate any streaks of egg white.

Step 3: Pour Eggs into One of the Creamer Bottles

Using the spout on your mixing bowl, carefully pour the mixed eggs into one of the prepared creamer bottles.

Additional tip: Use a funnel to easily pour the eggs in without spilling. This is especially helpful when working in the compact kitchen space of an RV.

Step 4: Add and Mix the Pancake Mix and Water to the Bowl

Before adding in the pancake mix, rinse out the bowl used for eggs. Make sure it's clean to avoid any cross-contamination.

Add the pancake mix, water, and other ingredients depending on instructions on the box. Different brands may have slightly different ratios, so check your packaging.

Mix until the texture of the pancake mix is consistent all the way through or to personal satisfaction. A few small lumps are okay—overmixing can make pancakes tough.

Step 5: Pour Pancake Mix into the Remaining Creamer Bottle

Using the same pouring technique, transfer your mixed pancake batter into the second creamer bottle. The spout makes this step quick and mess-free.

Make sure to leave a little room at the top of the bottle so you can shake it before use. This helps redistribute any ingredients that may have settled.

Step 6: Pack It and Use It!

Add these bottles to your kitchen kit for a quick and simple way of transporting and using eggs and pancake mix. They fit perfectly in RV refrigerators and take up minimal space.

Simply pour eggs and pancake mix on a griddle and enjoy! The built-in spout on the creamer bottles gives you excellent control for perfectly sized pancakes.

Important Food Safety Tips

When using this method, keep these food safety guidelines in mind:

• Refrigerate immediately: Store your prepared bottles in the refrigerator or cooler right away
• Use within 2 days: Pre-mixed eggs should be used within 48 hours for best quality and safety
• Keep cold: Maintain temperatures below 40°F during transport and storage
• Shake before use: Give bottles a good shake before pouring to remix any settled ingredients

This hack is perfect for family RV trips where you want to maximize your time outdoors and minimize cleanup. The bottles are also reusable for future camping adventures!
