Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 5 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Yield: 2 servings
Course: Dessert
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2 bananas (the riper the better!)
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate chips ((I used sugar-free) or dairy-free if needed)
  • 2 tablespoons mini marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons chopped almonds

Instructions

  • Use a paring knife to slice a ¼- inch deep slice down the length of the banana’s curve. Make two small slices on each end of the slice, making it easier to separate the peel from the banana. Use your hands to slightly open the banana.
  • Tear 2, 12-inch pieces of foil and place a banana on each piece of foil. Add a tablespoon of chocolate chips to each banana, slightly pressing some into the slice in the banana. Divide the marshmallows and chopped almonds between the two bananas.
  • Bring the foil up and over the banana, crimping it closed at all the edges.
  • Preheat the grill to 400° F over low heat. Place the foil wrapped bananas on the grates and close the grill lid. Cook about 10 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and the chocolate is melted. Remove from the grill and let sit for 2 minutes.
  • Carefully open the foil and serve the bananas.

Notes

Variations

The best part about these grilled banana boats is the endless possibilities for toppings!
  • Chocolate Chips: Use any type of chip, such as milk or white chocolate. Make Them A La Mode: Top it with a scoop of ice cream, nice cream or frozen yogurt.
  • Candy Bars: Chop up your favorite kind of chocolate candy, like chocolate-peanut butter cups or toffee.
  • Nuts: Swap almonds for peanuts, cashews, pecans, or walnuts. If you’re allergic to nuts, omit them.
  • Nut Butter: Drizzle the bananas with almond or peanut butter or Nutella.
  • Fruit: Add fresh berries, like raspberries or strawberries.
  • Spices: Sprinkle the boats with cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, or cardamom.
  • Make it colorful with sprinkles.
  • Sauce: Drizzle with chocolate syrup or honey.
  • S’mores: Swap almonds for crumbled graham crackers for a s’mores-style banana boat.
