Ingredients

• 35g whole wheat couscous
• 1 Tbsp. sweetened flaked coconut
• 25g dried fruit (pref. cherries, cranberries, and/or raisins
• 2 1/2 Tbsp. powdered milk

Directions

Combine all ingredients in advance and place in a baggie.
At camp, bring 125mL of water to a boil and pour it into the baggie. Mix well and seal. Let sit for 10 minutes.
Fluff with spork and eat.

If you have a bowl with a lid or a bowl that fits inside your baggie, you can empty the baggie into the bowl first and then pour the water over. This will probably give a nicer texture but means you'll have to clean your bowl. On the other hand, if you're using a re-usable baggie, it's probably easier to clean the bowl than the baggie.
