Whether you're hosting a BBQ, planning a camping trip, or craving a quick sweet fix, Banana Boats are a crowd-pleasing treat that’s as easy to prepare as they are to devour.
Preheat your grill or oven to 375°F (190°C) if not using a campfire.
Cut each banana lengthwise down the middle, making sure not to cut all the way through the bottom peel. Gently open the banana to create a pocket.
Stuff each banana with a handful (about 1/4 cup) of mini marshmallows, chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers. Add a tablespoon of peanut butter to each banana if desired.
Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil, ensuring there are no open seams.
Place the foil-wrapped bananas on the grill, in the oven, or directly in campfire coals.
Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the chocolate and marshmallows are melted and gooey.
Carefully remove the banana boats from the heat and let them cool slightly. Unwrap the foil and serve with a spoon for scooping out the delicious filling.
