Stressed is desserts spelled backwards. Coincidence? I think not! This week was Dead Week (the week before finals), and it's always pretty stressful for everyone,
with additional studying on top of regular homework assignments, presentations, and
end-of-the-year activities.
This recipe is really easy to make, so grab your friends, grab some chocolate, and
take a study break!
I love making these banana boats because 1. they’re
super easy to make, 2. they’re completely customizable and 3. they’re somewhat healthy, but there
is chocolate involved so we can call it dessert! Also, bananas are probably brain food, which
means eating more will help me retain information. Maybe?
I should know the answer to that, considering I have my nutrition final
next week. Hopefully the questions will
be along the lines of, “if I gave you a bunch of bananas, what would be the best dish to
make using them?”
I’m pretty sure banana boats would be the correct
answer.
What you need:
4 Bananas (you’ll need one for each person)
Your choice of filling
I used peanut butter, Nutella, and
chocolate chips. Marshmallows and
caramel pieces would be great, too-feel free to get creative!
Toppings: Crushed cookies, chocolate peanut butter cereal,
graham crackers
What you do:
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Slice the bananas lengthwise about ¾ of the
way through. Fill cavity with your
choice of peanut butter, Nutella, chocolate chips, marshmallows or other
combinations of fillings. Coconut,
pineapple, and honey would also be delicious!
Wrap the bananas in completely in foil.
It’s like a banana present!
Bake for 5-8 minutes, until the filling is melted and the
banana is soft and warm. Top with crushed cookies, etc if desired and enjoy
immediately.
You can also make these outside on the grill! Prepare the bananas as directed then heat on
the grill for 5-8 minutes.
Ayyyyyy
