​It is easiest to have instant oatmeal or granola some days camping, but sometimes if you are having a slow morning, it is nice to have a hot breakfast.  I have been working on a paleo pancake recipe during this winter that I can make for a quick and healthy breakfast at home and specifically for camping.  If you want a similar recipe in a box, you can find this here, but I wanted to develop a similar recipe so that those families like me, that would like to make their own mix and save some money. 

​I love being able to take some of our healthier gluten free meals with us without the tons of carbs, but that is hard sometimes to do especially because I like to be spending time with everyone rather than cooking the whole time.  If you don't mind spending some money to make things easier on you and save you time, these are a great alternative to pumpkin pancakes from scratch (If you would like to make them from scratch, check out this post). Making them from scratch is simple, but it is easier to pack a box for breakfast without any preparation before we go.  This was a pumpkin muffin mix that I decided I wanted to try to make pancakes with as I liked the ingredients, but pancakes are much easier to make camping on a griddle on your stove than muffins.  Good and healthy food is important to us, but simple is also the key for me while camping.
