Ingredients

1 ripe banana
Chocolate chips (any kind you prefer)
Small marshmallows
1 graham cracker, crushed
Aluminum foil

Instructions

Peel the banana and slice it lengthwise down the center, without cutting all the way through.
Gently pull the banana apart to create a pocket.
Fill the inside with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips to your liking.
Place the stuffed banana on a square of aluminum foil.
Loosely tent the foil over the banana to prevent the toppings from sticking.
Grill or bake at 375°F for 5–6 minutes, until the chocolate is melted and marshmallows are gooey.
Carefully open the foil and sprinkle crushed graham crackers on top.
Let it cool slightly, then enjoy straight from the foil or scoop into a bowl.

Notes

Serve the banana boat warm, straight from the foil for easy cleanup.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for extra indulgence.
Let kids customize their own banana boats with different toppings like peanut butter chips, crushed cookies, or sprinkles.
For a fun presentation, serve in a bowl with extra crushed graham crackers on the bottom.

Storage Tips:

S’more banana boats are best enjoyed immediately while warm and gooey.
If you have leftovers, wrap them tightly in aluminum foil and refrigerate for up to 1 day.
To reheat, place the foil-wrapped banana in a preheated oven at 350°F for about 5 minutes or until warm.
Avoid freezing, as the texture of the banana will become mushy.
