These banana smores are the perfect treat during the summertime and an easy way to make dessert on the barbecue. (affiliate links present)

Banana S’mores

You are probably used to baking with very ripe fruit if you are going to bake something like our cake mix banana bread with them or something. This one is different where you want them to stay a bit firmer or the texture is just off. Instead use very yellow with maybe just a bit of brownish on the edges.

1. Bananas – ripe, not green, but barely brown
2. Mini marshmallows
3. Chocolate chips
4. You could crush and sprinkle a bit of graham cracker crumbs on top if you wanted to

Smores in the Oven are probably the most delicious, chocolaty, ooey gooey and healthy (it is right, it starts with bananas after all) dessert you cook right on your BBQ after all the meat is done!

Banana S’mores Boat

This is how easy these grilled bananas are to make with very little prep work, are cheap and delish. If you are not grilling anything beforehand, set grill to medium. You could make these in an oven at 400 degrees too. You don’t want high heat. Low and slow just to soften and melt all the ingredients is all you need.

To keep them set up straight and not falling over you can make a sort of boat out of aluminum foil. Or wrap the banana in foil (but it won’t get the top brown that way), or use a small 8×8 pan.

• Just slice the banana lengthwise and squeeze the ends so that it opens up a bit. It is best to find ones that are already slightly brown and softer to do this.
• Push the semi sweet chocolate chips down into the bottom of the bananas
• Then push small marshmallows down on top of those.
  • If you are a nut lover then put a layer of crushed peanuts, walnuts, or almonds in between or on top.
  • Some like a bit of peanut butter inside too
• Put on the BBQ after your meats are done. That way the heat has died down. Wait until they get really warm and start to brown…and everything melts.
• Serve right in their own skins. Give guests a fork and you will be the hit of the party I tell you!

How to do s’mores without fire?

This way technically isn’t a fire if you are using a gas grill or coals that no longer have a flame really. Another way if you are at home is to make our smores in a jar. Now those are fun using cake mix and made in individual servings using mason jars. Nutrition facts are listed below but only account for what is listed below.
