These ooey gooey sweet Campfire Stuffed Bananas are easy to make and will soon be your new camping go-to favorite!
After seeing Ree Drummond from the Food Network make Campfire Banana Boats, I knew I would have to give it a try.
I go camping quite a bit, and these Campfire Stuffed Bananas are a perfect campfire dessert.
When I made this, I was on vacation in Silver City, New Mexico. I stayed at a cute cabin that had a fully equipped kitchen and an outdoor firepit.
Ree stuffs her “Campfire Banana Boats”, (but I like my name for it) with graham crackers, marshmallows, caramel, and chocolate. Here I have veganized them.
The photos were taken with my ipad. Normally I prefer to take photos in natural light during the day. Since this recipe was done over coals at night, there was only indoor lighting.
Even though the photos aren’t very pretty, this recipe is one of the best desserts I have ever made.
I used pecans, dark chocolate baking chunks, and coconut flakes. In the future I plan on making one with peanut butter and brown rice syrup, which sounds like a good combination.
This is one of those freestyle, make-it-your-own kind of recipes. Enjoy!

December 20, 2015 at 5:06 pmHoly mother of Get-In-My-Belly-Now! I think I’d make mine banana split style with chocolate, a bit of coconut, strawberry jam, and marshmallows (maybe pineapple too, but that’s really pushing it)!
