Foil Baked Bananas Recipes

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.

BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
• Arrange banana on an oven safe dish or foil.
• Sprinkle with cinnamon and honey.
• Cover tight with foil and bake for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how soft you like them.
• Enjoy as is, or (optional) add some whipped cream or light ice cream on the side.

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!

BAKED BANANA WITH CINNAMON & HONEY (LOW FAT / HEALTHY)

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200c (or get your BBQ nice and ready if you're BBQing).
• Either slice the banana up into bite-sized pieces or cut it in half lengthways if you're looking for a smarter presentation or are having an ice cream banana split.
• Place the banana on an over-sized square of tin foil and sprinkle with cinnamon (to taste).
• Drizzle 2tsp of honey evenly over the banana and gather up the corners of the foil to create a little banana parcel.
• Place the parcel in the oven (or on the barbie) and bake for approximately 15mins.
• NB. Baking time depends on how you prefer your bananas - the more you bake, the more soft and gooey they get and the more the honey caramelises onto them. Personally I don't like mine too over-baked as I prefer the banana to still be a bit hard and the honey to be liquid.

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.

BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Peel the bananas and slice in half lengthwise. Lay the pieces into a buttered 9-by-13-by-2-inch ovenproof dish. Pour the lime juice and rum evenly over the bananas. Sprinkle on the cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Dot on the butter, if using, and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Serve hot, topped with a tablespoon of fresh cream or ice cream.

FOIL BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Cut bananas in half lengthwise and place each on sheet of tinfoil large enough to cover it.
• Put your filling in each banana and wrap tightly in the tinfoil.
• Bake in hot oven, about 230 Celsius (450 Fahrenheit) for approximately 20 minutes, or (on inspection) skins have gone completely black.

JAMAICAN RUMMED BAKED BANANAS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
• In a greased baking dish, place the bananas. Sprinkle with sugar and dot with butter. Mix orange juice and rum and pour around the bananas. Bake for 20 minutes.
• Serve with a dollop of coconut cream or ice cream.

BAKED BANANA BOATS

Steps:

• Cut each banana lengthwise about 1/2 in. deep, leaving 1/2 in. uncut at both ends. Place each banana on a 12-in. square of foil; crimp and shape foil around bananas so they sit flat. Gently pull each banana peel open, forming a pocket. Fill pockets with pineapple, granola, pecans and chocolate chips., Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until chips are softened.

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.
