Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 whole Bananas
- 3 tablespoons Honey
- 2 tablespoons Dark Rum
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted Butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground Cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
- 1 pinch Salt
- as desired Optional Toppings: Whipped Cream, Chocolate Sauce, or Chopped Nuts
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. If camping, ensure you have a steady heat source for grilling.
Peel the bananas and slice them in half lengthwise. Set them aside on a plate.
In a small saucepan, combine honey, dark rum, butter, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until the butter melts and the mixture becomes smooth. This will take about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
Brush the honey rum glaze generously onto the cut sides of the bananas.
Lightly oil the grill grates to prevent sticking. Place the bananas on the grill, cut side down. Grill for about 3-4 minutes or until you see nice grill marks.
Flip the bananas carefully using tongs or a spatula. Cook on the other side for another 3-4 minutes until the bananas are soft and slightly caramelized.
Transfer the grilled bananas to serving plates. Drizzle any remaining honey rum glaze over the top.
Serve the bananas warm. Optionally, top with whipped cream, chocolate sauce, or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
