No, I’m not talking about the banana boat you can ride on the sea or on a lake. I’m talking about a banana that gets cooked on the grill in some foil and has gooey marshmallows and melted chocolate on top. 

Banana Boats

Banana boats make a fantastic dessert for Summertime and they can be grilled or baked in the oven. Check out my flavor combos and list below for even more banana boat flavors you can try this Summer.

Banana Boat Flavors or Combos to Try

Banana Boats are so versatile to work with and you can easily change up the ingredients for them if you don’t like chocolate chips and marshmallows. 

Smore’s - Graham Crackers, mini marshmallows, chocolate chips 

Samoa Style - coconut, chocolate chips, and toast coconut flakes 

Strawberry, Nutella, and marshmallows 

Jelly and Peanut Butter Banana Boats 

Nutella and Peanut Butter Banana Boats 

Peanut Butter with Sliced Strawberry Banana Boats

Banana Split - strawberry sauce, crushed pineapples, cherries, and whipped topping 

How to make Grilled Banana Boats  

Cut banana peel lengthwise about ½ in. deep, leaving ½ in. at both ends. 

Open peel wider to form a pocket. Fill each with 1 teaspoon chocolate chips and 1 tablespoon marshmallows. Crimp and shape four pieces of heavy-duty foil (about 12 in. square) around bananas, forming boats.

Grill, covered, over medium heat for 5-10 minutes or until marshmallows melt and are golden brown.

Serving size: 1 banana boat

Oven: 400 for 5 to 10 minutes

Tips for Grilled Banana Boats 

If you are making these banana boats on the grill use aluminum foil and wrap the sides of the banana boats up so they are easier to handle and get off the grill. Cook the banana boats on a grill grate if your fire is hot. 

To tell if the banana boats are ready to eat, the bananas will be soft and not firm. 

Do not cut all the way down the banana. Make sure there is at least a quarter-inch space so that the bananas can sit on a flat surface as they cook.
