CAMPFIRE BANANAS AT HOME

Steps:

• Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and heat oven to 400 degrees F.
• Slice bananas down the center vertically. Wrap individually in foil. Top each banana with chocolate chips and marshmallow. Seal the foil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 6 to 8 minutes or until chocolate and marshmallow has melted and the bananas are softened slightly.
• Remove from the oven, carefully open the foil and top with whatever toppings you'd like. Enjoy and Happy Summer!

BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray.
• Arrange banana halves in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle maple syrup over bananas and top with cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. Cover dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

CAMPFIRE BANANA SPLITS

Steps:

• Preheat the grill for high heat.
• Spray 4 sheets of aluminum foil, large enough to wrap bananas, with cooking spray.
• Slice the peel of the banana from stem to bottom, while slicing the banana inside lengthwise. The bananas can be cut into slices instead if you like, (while still in the peel) for easier handling later.
• Carefully open the banana just wide enough to place the chocolate chips and marshmallows inside the peel with the banana. Stuff with as much of the chocolate chips and marshmallows as desired.
• Wrap the bananas with the aluminum foil and place on the grill or directly in the coals of a fire. Leave in long enough to melt the chips and the marshmallows, about 5 minutes. Unwrap bananas, open the peels wide, and eat with a spoon.

FIRE BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Heat up the bar-b-que grill.
• Whip the cream until stiff peaks are formed.
• Fold the Amarula Liqueur into the mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Over medium coals place the bananas, still in peel, onto the grill.
• Heat bananas until the peel turns black.
• Remove the bananas from the grill and split the skin of the banana open.
• In a saucepan, melt the chocolate over medium heat.
• Once melted, add the walnuts and honey stirring constantly.
• Pour chocolate sauce over bananas and top with whipped cream mixture.

CHOCOLATE BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6 (or a BBQ). Make a slit through the skin of the bananas along one side - making sure you don't cut all the way through to the other side. Poke in the chocolate buttons along the cut. Put each banana onto a sheet of foil and crimp the edges together to seal into a parcel. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for 25 mins until the bananas have turned black (or pop straight into the BBQ embers for 15 mins).
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream and any melted chocolate that has escaped!

BANANA BOATS

Steps:

• Slit each banana lengthwise through the peel, making sure not to cut all the way through to the other side. Stuff the bananas with marshmallows and chocolate chips.
• Wrap each banana in aluminum foil and cook over a fire, on the barbecue, or in a 300 degree oven for 5 minutes, or until chocolate is melted. Eat with a spoon.

BOOZY BAKED CARAMELISED BANANAS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 220C/200C fan/gas 8. Toss the banana halves in an ovenproof dish with the sugar, maple syrup and rum or whisky. Sprinkle with a small pinch of salt, if you like.
• Bake for 15 mins, then remove from the oven. Heat the grill to high and grill the bananas for 3-5 mins, or until bubbling and caramelised. Spoon the bananas into bowls and scatter over the pecans. Serve with ice cream, and any of the caramelised syrup from the dish drizzled over the top.

BAKED BANANAS WITH STRAWBERRY FLAMBE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Peel bananas and arrange them, whole, side by side in a buttered baking dish.
• Spread the butter on top of the bananas.
• Rinse and hull the strawberries.
• Arrange them in rows in the spaces between the bananas.
• Sprinkle brown sugar over the berries and bananas.
• Bake for 25 minutes, or until the bananas are cooked through.
• Don't overbake.
• To serve, warm the Grand Marnier and pour it over the bananas and berries.
• Light immediately.
• For the most impressive effect, do this at the table with the lights dim so the flame will show.
• Serve as soon as the fire goes out.
