Ingredients
 

  • 1 banana
  • Handful of semi sweet chocolate chips
  • Handful of mini marshmallows

Other topping options:

  • Peanut butter
  • Biscoff
  • Cut up candy bars
  • Chopped nuts
  • Honey Grahams or Cinnamon Toast Crunch
  • Graham Crackers (for dipping)

Instructions

  • Gather your bananas. You can make just one or as many as your fire (or BBQ) will fit.
  • Slice the bananas about a ¼ inch deep down the middle. Use your fingers to pull the peel back slightly so there’s some space between the peel and the banana.
  • Stuff the boats with your choice of toppings. I love a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips and mini marshmallows.
  • Wrap. Place each banana on a square (approximately 12 inches) of aluminum foil topped with a slightly smaller square of parchment paper. Wrap the bananas up from the bottom to the top, crimping the top so there’s a little space between the banana and the foil.
  • Cook. Place the bananas directly on warm coals that no longer have an active flame. Cook for about 5 minutes, then remove with tongs, and enjoy. The bananas can be eaten directly out of the peel, or scooped out into a bowl.

Notes

  • If your fire still has active flames, place the bananas on a grill over top of the fire.
  • To grill: Preheat to high heat (500 degrees). Place wrapped bananas on the grill and grill 5-7 minutes.
  • To make in the oven: Preheat to 400 degrees. Place wrapped bananas on a baking sheet and then bake for 13-15 minutes.
  • To air fry: Air fry wrapped bananas at 400 degrees for 6-7 minutes.
  • Nutrition will depend on chosen toppings.
