Campfire Banana Boat Foster

Sweet, gooey, caramelized banana is just a campfire away. This recipe for bananas Foster requires nothing but a banana, some cinnamon sugar, and tinfoil; heat up and serve hot. If you want to make this at home, just assemble and put it in the oven at 425°F for 5 to 10 minutes. Or cook it on the grill after dinner is done. Either way, it’s best served with a splash of rum.

This recipe was featured as part of our Step Up the S’more: 7 Ideas for Campfire Treats and our Easy Grilled Banana Recipes.

Instructions

  1. 1Slice an unpeeled banana lengthwise without cutting all the way through the top or bottom of the peel. Gently open it so it’s like a boat, then fill with the brown sugar and cinnamon, pressing them into the flesh without squishing. Wrap the banana tightly in foil.
  2. 2Cook in the coals of the campfire, away from any active flames, for about 10 minutes. Serve hot.
