- 4 banana

Instructions
How To Prep Banana Boats
- Gently peel the banana peel away from the inner curve of the banana leaving the peel attached if possible. Lay each banana on a piece of foil. With a small spoon scoop out the banana to carve a “boat” and make room for toppings. (We usually just eat the banana we hollow out as we work since we each make our own.)
- Fill the banana with chocolate chips, mini marshmallows and pieces of graham crackers. Pull the banana peel back over the banana.
- Wrap the banana in foil, being careful to roll the ends in so the toppings don't spill out.

For The Campfire
- Place the banana boats over indirect heat. You can place them on a grill over the fire so the flames aren’t touching them, or on the fire next to some lower-burning embers. Direct flames will cook the banana too much and can make it char.
- Cook for 10-15 minutes over the hot coals or until the bananas are squishy when picked up with tongs. Open the foil carefully, peel back the banana peel and enjoy with a spoon!
For The Grill
- Cook on the grill over indirect heat for 10-15 minutes, or until the banana feels a little squishy when you pick it up with tongs. Open the foil carefully, peel back the banana peel and enjoy with a spoon!
For The Oven
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the bananas on a sheetpan for 10-15 minutes or until the banana feels squishy when you pick it up with tongs. Open the foil carefully, peel back the banana peel and enjoy with a spoon!
