Breakfast Camping Meals for Large Groups

 

Nothing quite matches the fun of trekking, hiking, and camping with family and friends. Moving in packs allows you to hike through lush forests, roast endless smores, and sing your hearts out while stargazing with the people you love.

However, vacationing with a crowd also demands much more meticulous planning than small group trips. One task involves planning delicious meals for the group, which is challenging when you're out in the wilderness with limited resources.

After spending years trying to make camp cooking easier for hikers, campers, and scouts with multi-purpose outdoor cooking equipment, experts at CampMaid have set out on a journey to help you discover easy camping meals for larger crowds.

Considering breakfast is one of the most important meals of the day, you need solid and flavorsome meals to help people retain energy to enjoy throughout the day in the outdoors. Let's look at a few quick ideas to effortlessly feed larger groups so that you can enjoy the camping trip as much as the rest of the crowd.

Pancakes

Anyone looking for breakfast ideas everyone is likely to enjoy should look no further than pancakes. Easy to make and quick to cook, they're a delicious start to mornings. Many people prepare the pancake mix batter in advance for maximum convenience. It frees them from having to carry extra ingredients.

You can also stick with ready-made pancake mix and bring eggs, water, and CampMaid's Dutch oven toolset with accessories to turn it into a perfect hot griddle! Feel free to have fun with the recipe. Bring honey, jam, fruit, chocolates, marshmallows, syrups, or other toppings to make the atmosphere festive.

Scrambled Eggs

Another fan favorite breakfast that's fast and filling. Scrambled eggs can be made with easy customizations to suit the taste of different people in the crowd. Bring along extras like ketchup, cheese, or salsa to add a twist to the breakfast, allowing everyone to design a meal that suits their tastebuds.

Pro Tip: If you find it difficult to bring eggs on the camping trip, fearing they would crack and make a mess, we've got a trick! You can keep the eggs safe by cracking them ahead of time and storing them in a water bottle. Some people even like to add in seasonings, milk, or cheese at this stage for the extra oomph. 

 

 

Oatmeal

There's just something so comforting about a big pot of oatmeal. It's also perfect for appeasing the hunger of a large group of campers. It's filling, nutritious, warm, and easily customizable. Making it in large quantities is also easier.

Since dry oatmeal is lightweight, it doesn't add much weight to the camp packing. You can spread out ingredients like honey, berries, peanut butter, or brown sugar to help every member spruce up their pot of plain oatmeal as per their liking.

Sausages

The savory and delicious sausages are a filling addition to camping breakfast menus. You can make your own patties or use sausage links to complement other breakfast staples like eggs, waffles, and pancakes. You don't need to pack a skillet separately if you got the right CampMaid cast iron accessories that help turn your cast Dutch oven into a steamer, griddle, grill, and so much more! It also makes frying, boiling, and baking so much easier! If you've got leftover sausage, don't forget to use it in another dish such as chili pot or casserole.

Pair one of these easy group breakfast options with some hot coffee and a breathtakingly beautiful sunrise to start the camping trip on a pleasant note. If you've already got a cast Dutch oven, browse the innovative range of cast-iron grill accessories available at CampMaid.
