Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole bananas
- 0.5 cup brown sugar
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons dark rum
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 scoops vanilla ice cream
- 4 sheets foil sheets
Instructions
Preheat a campfire or grill to medium heat.
Peel the bananas and slice them lengthwise, keeping them whole but opening them slightly to form a pocket.
Lay each banana onto a sheet of foil large enough to wrap it completely.
In a small bowl, mix the brown sugar, ground cinnamon, dark rum, and vanilla extract until combined.
Spoon 1 tablespoon of the brown sugar mixture into the pocket of each banana.
Dot each banana with 1 tablespoon of butter, spacing it evenly along the pocket.
Wrap each banana securely in the foil, ensuring no liquid will escape during cooking.
Place the foil-wrapped bananas onto the grill or directly in the campfire embers. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until the bananas are softened and the sugar mixture is bubbly.
Carefully remove the bananas from the heat and let them cool for 2 minutes before unwrapping (be cautious of steam).
Serve the bananas warm, either in the foil or transferred to bowls, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
