Ingredients
  

4 ripe bananas

1 cup mini marshmallows

1 cup chocolate chips (choose milk or dark based on preference)

1/4 cup granola (for added crunch, optional)

Aluminum foil

Optional toppings: peanut butter, crushed nuts, or shredded coconut

Instructions
 

Prepare the Bananas: Begin by preheating your grill to medium heat. Once the grill is warming up, take the bananas and carefully slice them in half lengthwise, ensuring that you leave the peel intact on the bottom. This way, the bananas will stay connected and act as a sturdy base for the filling.

    Create the Banana Boat: With the bananas sliced, gently open them up to reveal the inner flesh. Using a spoon, scoop out a small amount of the banana flesh from the center, making just enough room for the fillings. (Feel free to save the scooped-out banana for use in smoothies or other recipes!)

      Fill with Goodies: Inside each hollowed-out banana, start layering in your chocolate chips and mini marshmallows. If you’re opting for a crunch factor, don’t forget to sprinkle the granola on top of the chocolate and marshmallows—it adds a delightful texture!

        Wrap in Foil: Carefully wrap each filled banana in a piece of aluminum foil, making sure to seal it tightly. This will help trap the heat inside, allowing the ingredients to melt perfectly without losing any delicious steam.

          Grill the Banana Boats: Place the wrapped banana boats directly on the preheated grill. Close the grill lid and allow the bananas to cook for about 5-7 minutes. Keep an eye on them until the chocolate and marshmallows inside have melted to a gooey perfection.

            Unwrap and Enjoy: Using tongs, carefully retrieve the hot banana boats from the grill. Unwrap the foil with caution, and for an extra punch of flavor, drizzle some peanut butter on top or sprinkle some crushed nuts or shredded coconut for added sweetness and texture.

              Serve: Let the banana boats cool for just a minute before serving. Enjoy each warm spoonful of the melty chocolate and marshmallow goodness—a perfect treat for any occasion!
