Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Bananas
- 0.5 cups Chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups Mini marshmallows (optional)
- 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans, optional)
- 4 sheets Aluminum foil
Instructions
Preheat your grill to medium heat (about 350°F/175°C).
Take the bananas and carefully make a lengthwise slit along the curve of each banana, being careful not to cut all the way through the bottom peel.
Gently spread open the slit in each banana and stuff the inside with chocolate chips. If desired, also add mini marshmallows and/or chopped nuts for added flavor and texture.
Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in a sheet of aluminum foil, sealing the edges to prevent leakage.
Place the foil-wrapped bananas on the grill over indirect heat and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure even heating.
Check one of the bananas by carefully unwrapping the foil; the chocolate should be melted, and the banana soft and caramelized.
Remove the bananas from the grill and let them cool slightly before serving. You can eat them straight from the peel using a spoon or transfer to a dish and top with optional garnishes like whipped cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
