Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe but firm bananas
- 2 tablespoons semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips or chunks
- A handful of mini marshmallows
- Heavy-duty aluminum foil
- Optional add-ins: chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans), peanut butter or almond butter, shredded coconut
Instructions
- Preheat your cooking surface: campfire grill, charcoal coals, or oven preheated to 375°F (190°C).
- Slice bananas lengthwise, leaving about 1/4 inch intact at the bottom to hold the banana together.
- Gently pry open the banana and stuff with about 2 tablespoons of chocolate chips and a handful of mini marshmallows. Add optional peanut butter or nuts if desired.
- Place the stuffed banana on a large sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil and wrap tightly, sealing all edges.
- Cook the foil packets on the hot grill, campfire coals, or baking sheet for about 10-12 minutes, turning once halfway through.
- Remove carefully with tongs or oven mitts, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then unwrap and serve warm.
Notes
Use ripe but firm bananas to avoid mushy boats. Wrap foil tightly to prevent leaks. Cooking time may vary depending on heat source. For indoor cooking, watch marshmallows closely to avoid burning. Optional add-ins like nuts or peanut butter add texture and flavor. Vegan and gluten-free substitutions are easy with appropriate ingredients.
