Home made oatcakes, you'll need an oven, however it may work well in large enough mess tin or cooking pot in the ashes of the morning fire.

Reflector oven should work too
Ingredients:

170g of oats

Are we talking rolled oats as in porridge? I have an oatcake recipie that calls for oat flour (and no wheat)...

The first is about the best recipe you will need to make a simple bread outdoors. By adding stuff to it, you can make it sweet or keep it savoury, add chilli and cumin seeds to spice it up or add fruits or nuts to give it a totally different feel. You are only limited by your imagination, and not using the search function! :p

"...I'm thinking I'll pre-mix the ingredients and store them (in a bag) inside the mess-tin for protection....I've also got some Nalgene containers (screw-cap) of various sizes for oil, salt, etc, so I'm sure they will be needed at some point..."

I pre-mix the dry ingredients for dampa and such before I set out, however I don't use Nalgene containers, I'm paranoid about the suggestion that Nalgene may adversly affect my health :eek:
