Put all ingredients, except graham cracker crumbs and coconut oil, in a bag or container for use in the backcountry. See the meal prep tip below.
Put graham cracker crumbs in a separate bag or container to be stored with the berry mix.
Pack 1 Tbsp (14 g) coconut oil in a leakproof container to be added when the meal is consumed. We recommend double bagging the oil in the event of a leak. See the meal prep tip below.
FIELD
Add 1-2 oz (30-60 mL) of hot water to the berry mixture. Avoid adding too much water, as the mixture will quickly become soup.
Stir to mix well and let stand to allow the berries to fully rehydrate and sauce to thicken.
The mixture should be the consistency of a fruit compote. More or less water may be added to reach the desired consistency.
Add 1 Tbsp (14 g) coconut oil to the berry mixture.
Stir to mix well.
Sprinkle graham cracker crumbs over the berry compote and enjoy!
NOTES
MEAL PREP TIPS
Dehydrated fruit is not recommended as it will not create a compote unless cooked for an extended period of time in a pot.
MCT oil powder may be used as a substitute for coconut oil. Add the powder to the bag with dry ingredients.
NUTRITION
Total sugar (per serving): 25 g, including 15 g added sugar
For a low-sugar recipe, replace cane sugar with a sugar substitute.
To reduce calories by 120, do not add the 1 Tbsp (14 g) coconut oil. However, the oil helps create a fruit compote sauce.
To reduce calories by 40, reduce the volume of butter powder by 1 Tbsp (6 g).
If butter powder is not included, there will not be a significant change in flavor or texture.
