Planning on doing a lot of camping this summer and want to make the classic s’mores recipe a little more exciting? Banana boats are just as easy to make as s’mores and are customizable with whatever ingredients you’d like. These will definitely keep everybody huddled around the campfire!
What you’ll need:
›› bananas
›› aluminum foil
›› toppings
›› tongs
›› kitchen knife
Topping suggestions:
›› mini marshmallows
›› chocolate chips
›› crushed graham crackers
›› cereal
›› strawberries or blueberries
›› caramel bits
›› nuts
›› coconut
›› Nutella
›› peanut butter
Instructions:
›› Cut each banana down the middle. You’ll want to cut all the way through the banana, but not the peel on the other side. Spread the banana apart to create the “boat” for the toppings.
›› Fill each banana with the toppings you desire.
›› Wrap each banana in aluminum foil, then place the bananas on the campfire embers (if your fire is hot/high you may want to use a grill grate).
›› Let them cook for 5-8 minutes before removing them from the fire with tongs (when they’re finished, they’ll be a bit squishy). Enjoy!
