FIRE PIT BANANA BOATS



Fire Pit Banana Boats image

Provided by Six Sisters Stuff

Number Of Ingredients 4

5-6 banana's (however ripe you prefer them... I don't like any brown on mine)
About 3/4 cup chocolate chips (you can use peanut butter chocolate chips, white, or semi-sweet. You could also try breaking up pieces of your favorite candy bar. I bet a Reese's would be good!)
About 1 cup mini Marshmallows (you can cut up big ones too)
Aluminum foil

Steps:

  • Cut your aluminum foil into pieces that are about 8"x12" or 12"x12".
  • Unpeel the banana, and cut a slice down the middle.
  • You don't want to cut all the way through, but you just want a gap so you can put marshmallows and chocolate chips in it.
  • Place the peeled and cut banana on the foil to decorate.
  • Place desired amount of chocolate chips and marshmallows in the gap.
  • I try to get as much as I can in there so It's full, gooey and delicious!
  • Fold the foil over the banana so nothing will leak out of the foil, and so you can keep all the good stuff in it.
  • Place over coals.
  • It will usually take about 5 minutes to cook depending on how hot the coals/fire is.
  • You can also cook them in the oven or over the grill if your campfire rains out.
  • Medium heat on the grill for 5 or so minutes, checking every so often until desired the marshmallows and chocolate chips are at desired melting point
  • Broil on high for 7-10 minutes in the oven, or until desired melting point.

Tips:

  • Choose ripe bananas: For the best flavor and texture, choose bananas that are fully ripe but not overripe. Overripe bananas will be too mushy and may not hold their shape well in the oven.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Get creative with your toppings! You can use a variety of ingredients, such as chocolate chips, nuts, peanut butter, marshmallows, and even bacon. Just make sure that the toppings are heat-resistant and won't melt or burn in the oven.
  • Don't overcook the bananas: Bananas are delicate fruit, so it's important not to overcook them. Otherwise, they will become mushy and unappetizing. Bake the bananas for just until they are heated through and the toppings are melted and bubbly.
  • Serve immediately: Baked banana boats are best served immediately after they are made. This is when they are at their peak of flavor and texture. If you need to make them ahead of time, you can store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Just be sure to reheat them gently before serving.

Conclusion:

Baked banana boats are a delicious and easy dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up ripe bananas and are a fun and festive treat for parties and gatherings. With a variety of toppings to choose from, there is sure to be a baked banana boat that everyone will love.
