Before hiking:

When hiking:

Notes
Maple syrup: Maple syrup is a fantastic topping for oats. It also works great with honey!
Vegan: The milk powder in this recipe can be substituted with soy milk powder for a vegan alternative.
Chia seeds: I really like adding chia seeds to this recipe because it adds a bit of texture and raises the nutritional value of the meal.
