Description

Campfire Banana Boats are a delightful and easy-to-make outdoor dessert perfect for camping or BBQs. Sweet bananas are stuffed with chocolate chips, mini marshmallows, and various favorite toppings, then wrapped in foil and cooked directly on warm coals until gooey and melted. This fun treat is perfect for enjoying around the campfire or backyard fire pit and offers endless customization options for toppings.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • 1 banana
  • Handful of semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • Handful of mini marshmallows
  • Peanut butter (optional)
  • Biscoff spread (optional)
  • Cut up candy bars (optional)
  • Chopped nuts (optional)
  • Honey Grahams or Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal (optional)
  • Graham crackers (for dipping, optional)

Instructions

  1. Prep the bananas: Gather your bananas, one per serving or as many as your fire or BBQ can accommodate.
  2. Make slits in the banana: Slice the banana about ¼ inch deep lengthwise down the middle. Gently pull back the peel to create some space between the peel and the banana itself.
  3. Stuff the banana boats: Fill the banana slits with your choice of toppings, such as a mix of milk and dark chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. Add peanut butter, Biscoff, chopped nuts, or candy bars if desired.
  4. Wrap the bananas: Place each stuffed banana on a 12-inch square of aluminum foil. Top with a slightly smaller piece of parchment paper. Wrap from the bottom up, crimping the top to seal and leave some space between the banana and foil.
  5. Cook on coals: Place the wrapped bananas directly on warm coals with no active flame. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the toppings are melted and gooey.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the coals with tongs. Eat directly from the peel or scoop out into a bowl. Serve with graham crackers for dipping, if desired.

Notes

  • Make sure the coals are warm with no active flames to avoid burning the bananas.
  • You can customize the fillings extensively—try different chocolates, fruits, or nut butters.
  • Double wrap with parchment paper to prevent foil flavors from transferring to the bananas.
  • Use tongs to handle the hot foil packets safely.
  • Leftover banana boats can be refrigerated and gently reheated.
