At Home:
This recipe makes 8- 12 logs- you determine the size you want

1.
Toast the oatmeal and nuts in a jelly roll pan or cake pan. About 375° for 10 minutes. You just want them lightly brown- they will brown a bit more after removed from oven so don't overdo it.

1 1/2 c. oatmeal
1 c. nuts (sliced almonds, walnut bits, pecan bits, etc)

2.
Chop 1 c (220g) dates till the pieces are smaller than raisins. You can also use a food processor for this if you have one.

3.
Melt together 1/4 c. smooth peanut (or almond) butter and 1/4 c. honey.

4.
Mix all ingredients together and combine thoroughly. You can add other things like crushed banana chips, other fruits, etc. Chocolate chips do not travel well on summer trips, but mini-M&Ms might be OK. You may need to increase the honey and peanut butter to bind things if you add a lot of extra ingredients.

5.
Make into logs or balls, and place in individual bags


In Camp:
