Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
- Make a deep lengthwise slit in the unpeeled banana, without cutting all the way through. Use your fingers to make an opening where you cut, filling the banana with peanut butter.
- Wrap in foil, sealing the top to form a sort of "boat". Bake for 10-15 minutes.
- Carefully open the foil. Use a knife to cut one of the ends of the peel off. Lift whole banana out in one piece (you will probably need two utensils for this), and place in a serving bowl.
- Scoop ice creams next to the banana and top all three with syrups and whipped cream. Serve immediately.
STUFFED CHOCOLATE AND PEANUT BUTTER BAKED BANANAS
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
- Lay the bananas so the ends are pointing up. Using a knife, cut a slit down the inside top so you can open it like an envelope, careful not to rip open the peel. Spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter inside each banana and sprinkle with chocolate chips. Close the peel of the banana up and wrap the entire banana in aluminum foil. Place the bananas on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to bake, about 10 minutes or until the insides of the banana are soft and warm and the chocolate is melted.
