Delicious Nut Free Camping Food!

Are you allergic to peanuts or any nuts? Are you feeling uninspired about camping food? I’ve got you covered with an amazing list of nut free camping food that will get you excited to eat!

Last week, I went camping with a small group of individuals. Most camping lists include a lot of granola, peanut  butter, and other things that have tree nuts in them. Luckily, my friend has had many years of experience figuring out what he can eat. We were able to have plenty of delicious food and it didn’t feel like we were missing out.

I have created a list of foods that are not only nut free, but are also great foods for camping. When going camping it’s important to find items that are non-perishable and that are easy to cook over a fire. Below is a comprehensive list of items that are great fuel and are nut free. 

The BEST Nut Free Camping Food

Breakfast

• Better Oats Oatmeal – Oatmeal is great for fueling you through a whole day of activities. This oatmeal is delicious and completely nut free. Just heat water up over the fire and pour it in. 
• Bisquick Shake n Pour – Pancakes are another great breakfast option. You don’t have to add anything to this mix, it’s nut free, and you can cook it on a pan over the fire. 
• Syrup – Most syrups are safe condiments for pancakes. 
• Jam – You can put this on toast or use it for lunch. 
• Frosted Strawberry Pop-tarts – They are not the most nutritious breakfast, but they’re a great treat! 

Lunch

• Bread – Very versatile and you can use it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Pack a quick sandwich for a hike. 
• Canned Tuna – It’s non-perishable and it’s a great source of protein. 
• Canned Chicken – Another good source of protein while camping. 
• Canned Soup – If you are eating lunch back at the campsite, then soup is perfect. You can heat it up quickly for a full meal. 
• Dried Ramen – You just have to add hot water and you have a meal!
• Salami or cured meats– Carry a whole pack of salami as you hike or cut them up. They are quick and easy protein sources that won’t go bad.

Dinner

• Pasta – One of the most classic camping dinners. It will keep you full for the night and help you carbo load for any strenuous activities. 
• Pasta Sauce – A must for your pasta meal.
• Kraft Mac and Cheese – Even if you don’t have milk, you can use water to make this. It’s always a fun meal!
• Tortillas – Make quesadillas or wraps for something quick, easy, and delightful. 
• Spam – Most people cringe when they think of Spam, but trust me it’s delicious. It’s also a great source of protein. 
• Potatoes – These are easy to bring, store, and cook. Wrap them in foil and place them over the fire for a great side. 
• Canned veggies – Choose some veggies to get some more nutritional value from your dinner. 
• Beans – Another great side dish for camping and you can put these in a quesadilla!

Snacks

• Granola Bars – Cascadian Farms, 88 Acres, and Enjoy Life all have nut free granola bars. We lived off of granola bars during our trip. They are one of the best camping snacks. 
• Dried Fruit – Choose your favorite dried fruit to snack on. 
• Beef Jerky – Jack Link’s and Pacific Gold are both nut free. 
• Bananas – A wonderful source of potassium. 
• Chocolate – Hershey’s bars are nut free, which is great because you’ll need them for S’mores!
• Marshmallows – Another s’more ingredient! Try to keep these in a cool place, so they don’t melt. 
• Graham Crackers – Honey Maid Graham Crackers are nut free and provide great s’more sandwich makers.

Drinks

• Beers – Bring a few drinks to have at night with your friends. Although if you don’t have a cooler, then you’ll have to have warm beer.  
• Gatorade – If you plan on hiking a lot, you will love to get back and have an energizing gatorade. 
• Water – Unless you plan on packing purification tablets, you will need to pack plenty of water for your trip.

Cooler Items

• Hamburgers – Just put these on a grill over the fire. We froze ours before we left so that they would stay good for longer. 
• Hot dogs – Put these on a stick and you can roast them over the fire. I love a good hot dog!
• Cheese – Bring cheese to put on sandwiches or in your quesadillas. Cheese is super versatile. 
• Butter – If you want things to have a richer flavor, then butter will be a great add to your camping trip. 
• Eggs – Eggs will stay good even when it’s a little warmer. You can put these in your ramen, in quesadillas, or eat them for breakfast.

Miscellaneous

• Oil – You will need this if you are using a grill for any food or to season things. 
• Ketchup, Mustard, Relish – You can’t forget your condiments to make sandwiches more flavorful. 
• Salt and Pepper – A staple for making any meals during your trip. 
• Aluminum foil – I know this isn’t a food, but foil is great for camping. You can cook things in the foil, use it to place things on top, or pack sandwiches for the day.
