Method:
1. Prepare your BBQ or campfire to a gentle heat or low flame, if you’re cooking on a campfire you can also place the bananas in the embers to gently cook them, it will just take a little longer.
2. Take each banana in it’s peel, slice down the middle until your knife grazes the peel on the other side.
3. Choose your Banana Boat toppings and pack them down the centre of your bananas. Wrap each banana in tin foil.
4. Place bananas onto your grill and cook for a few minutes. To check if they are ready give them a squeeze with a pair of tongs, they should feel squishy. If they are still firm leave them for a few more minutes.
5. Unwrap, grab a spoon and dig in.
