Backpackers Pantry - Blueberry Peach Crisp

Dessert in the backcountry doesn't have to mean a sad granola bar, and this blueberry peach crisp is proof of that.

Backpacker's Pantry kept this one close to the real thing. Freeze-dried blueberries and peaches sit beneath a layer of artisanal small-batch granola and rolled oats, finished with a touch of cinnamon and that signature buttery crisp texture. It genuinely tastes like something you'd make at a cottage, which goes a long way after a few nights sleeping on the ground.

At 540 calories across two servings, it works well as a shared dessert around the fire or a sweet end to a solo camp dinner split over two nights. The vegetarian-friendly recipe and straightforward just-add-water prep make it an easy addition to any trip menu. It's the kind of thing that earns its weight in pack space by doing something good for morale.

One thing to note: this one carries a 3-year shelf life rather than the 10-year window you'll find on most Backpacker's Pantry meals, so it's best rotated into your kit regularly rather than stored long-term.
