Prepare a campfire with a steady medium heat or preheat a grill to medium.
Slice each banana down the middle (lengthwise), but leave the peel intact. Be careful not to cut through to the other side.
Gently open the banana and stuff it with chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, crushed graham crackers, and pecans (if using). Adjust the quantities of toppings to your preference.
Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil to create a sealed packet.
Place the foil-wrapped bananas on the campfire grate or directly on the coals. Alternatively, place them on the grill. Cook for 8β10 minutes, or until the chocolate and marshmallows are melted and gooey.
Using tongs or heat-resistant gloves, carefully remove the foil packets from the heat.
Unwrap the foil (be cautious of steam!), and serve the banana splits warm. Top with whipped cream if desired.
