These vegan banana pecan muffins are a delightful treat, perfect for camping in your kitchen. They are moist, flavorful, and made with silken tofu for added richness.

Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour. 1/2 cup sugar. 1 tsp baking powder. 1/2 tsp baking soda. 1/4 tsp salt. 3 ripe bananas, mashed. 1/2 cup silken tofu. 1/4 cup vegetable oil. 1 tsp vanilla extract. 1/2 cup chopped pecans.

Instructions: Warm your oven up to 350 F 175C and put paper liners in a muffin tin. Mix the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt together in a large bowl. Make a new bowl and put the mashed ripe bananas in it. Then add the silken tofu, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract. Combine well. Add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir just until everything is mixed together. Do not mix too much. Add the chopped pecans to the batter and mix them in well. Almost all the way to the top of each muffin cup, fill it with batter. After the oven is hot, bake the muffins for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Take the muffins out of the oven and let them cool in the pan for a few minutes. Then, move them to a wire rack to cool completely. Have fun with your tasty vegan banana pecan muffins!

From Forgotten Stove to Feast: Outdoor Cooking Checklist 🍳

Forgot your stove? Welcome to the cold pizza under the stars club. If cooking outdoors (not just cold sandwiches) is your goal, this checklist is your fast lane from forgetful to feastful.

Why this checklist matters

Focus on what actually matters: reliable heat, safe food storage, and well-organized prep.

Gear that works: stoves that boil fast, cookware that serves multiple meals, utensils that pack neatly.

Must-Haves You'll Use

A stove: backpacking single burner, Jetboil Flash for quick coffee, or a propane double-burner for groups.

Cookware that matches your trip: nesting sets, cast-iron skillets, compact pans.

Utensils & organization: utensil kits, collapsible plates & cups, cutting board.

Safe food storage & coolers.

Safety gear & cleanup: biodegradable soap, fire safety items, food thermometer.

Light & workspace.

Optional bonus: a foldable BBQ campfire machine when flames are part of the plan.

Outdoor cooking shouldn't mean chaos—pack smart and enjoy the meal, not the mess.
