Banana Boat Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
- Optional toppings: chopped nuts, shredded coconut, caramel sauce
- Aluminum foil for wrapping
Instructions
- Preheat Campfire or Grill: Prepare your campfire or grill by heating it to a medium heat. This ensures a perfect slow melt without burning the bananas.
- Slice Bananas: Slice each banana lengthwise along the peel carefully, making sure not to cut all the way through, so the banana stays intact like a boat.
- Stuff Bananas: Gently open each banana and fill the cavity with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips, distributing evenly for a gooey filling.
- Wrap in Foil: Wrap each stuffed banana tightly with aluminum foil, sealing it well to trap heat and melt the fillings evenly.
- Cook on Heat: Place the foil-wrapped bananas on hot coals or grill grates and cook for 10 to 15 minutes, allowing the chocolate and marshmallows to melt completely.
- Serve with Toppings: Carefully remove the bananas from the heat, unwrap them, and add any desired toppings such as chopped nuts, shredded coconut, or drizzle with caramel sauce before serving.
Notes
- Use ripe but firm bananas to prevent mushiness during cooking.
- You can customize the fillings by adding peanut butter or different types of chocolate.
- Be cautious when unwrapping the hot foil to avoid steam burns.
- Cook times may vary depending on your grill or campfire heat intensity.
- This dessert is great for kids and easy to prepare outdoors.
