Banana Boats
I have a fond memory of my mom making banana boats on the fire for my besties and I at one of my childhood birthday parties. Bananas sliced lengthways and filled with caramel, marshmallows and blocks of milk chocolate; wrapped in foil and put on the fire until warm and gooey. Mmmm.
Feeling the need for an energy boost, I grabbed a banana from the fruit bowl … and before I knew it I had recreated a healthier version of banana boats. It was a struggle to snap a photo without a little hand in the way … my boys could not WAIT to get stuck in!
Not sure what you are planning for Friday night, but with the unexpected cold weather we have been having, I’m sensing a night in front of the fire … homemade pizzas and gooey banana boats for dessert.
Ingredients
Ripe bananas
Nut Butter (Macadamia Butter, Peanut Butter or Almond Butter)
Pecan Nut Sprinkles (you can use ground almonds or crushed peanuts)
Desiccated Coconut
Dark Chocolate Chips
Goji Berries
Agave Syrup (or honey or maple syrup)
Method
Slice the bananas lengthways.
Fill the slit with your choice of nut butter.
Decorate by sprinkling the rest of the ingredients in the slit.
Drizzle with syrup.
Notes
If you are going to heat your banana boats, leave the bananas in the peel, split the banana, fill it with your favourite toppings and wrap the bananas in foil. Either place on campfire or put in the oven until the chocolate has melted.
Raw Apple, Ginger & Cinnamon Date Bites
I love that Woolworths stores have cleared out the tempting junk food from the checkout queues, and replaced the shelves with healthier options. Knowing the prices of good nutritious ingredients I can so relate to the high price tag that comes with the healthy snacks,...
Strawberry Ice Lollies
My boys have such different tastes. I really shouldn't ask questions like these, but when I ask the boys which flavour ice lolly they want me to make I get two very different answers. Judah, my youngest, yells 'MANGO please' and Oscar, my oldest, yells...
Mango Ice Lollies
Who says ice lollies are for kids? My husband has been begging me to make ice lollies for so long now, and although it is the start of winter (and with one of the biggest storms about to hit in centuries) I finally gave in. With frozen mango in the freezer, I...
