Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 ripe bananas
- 50 g semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 30 g chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts, almonds, or pecans)
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 4 small pieces marshmallows (optional)
- 4 foil sheets
Instructions
Preheat your oven or grill to 375°F (190°C).
Take the bananas and carefully make a single slit down the length of each banana peel using a knife, making sure not to cut through to the bottom.
Gently open up the slit in the banana peel and banana flesh, creating a small pocket.
Fill the pocket with chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and a sprinkle of ground cinnamon. For a sweeter touch, you can also add a small marshmallow to each banana.
Wrap each stuffed banana tightly in a sheet of foil to ensure the fillings stay in place during cooking.
Place the foil-wrapped bananas on a baking sheet (if using an oven) or directly on the grill grates.
Cook for 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has melted and the bananas are soft and caramelized.
Carefully remove the bananas from the oven or grill, and let them cool for a couple of minutes before unwrapping the foil.
Serve the stuffed bananas warm as they are, or pair them with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra-indulgent treat!
