Grilling is a major part of our summer. We do grill year-round, but the summer is when we kick it up a notch. Dessert isn’t always part of our grilling (much to the disappoint of my kids), but on holidays, like 4th of July and other random times, it’s fun to make a dessert that can be made on the grill.

While s’mores are a favorite dessert to have when we are grilling, this year we finally got around to trying stuffed grilled bananas after hearing about them from friends. They are really easy to make and inexpensive too. Plus, including a lot of topping choices, like we do, is easy because you don’t need much for each banana. Each kids makes their own, which is always a hit in our house. No two bananas are topped the same!

Ingredients Needed for Easy Grilled Banana Dessert Bar:

• Bananas
• Toppings: Chocolate Chips , Peanut Butter Chips , Honey , Granola , Coconut , Marshmallows , Chopped Pecans , Graham Crackers , Strawberries , Pineapple .

Cooking Equipment Needed for Easy Grilled Banana Dessert Bar:

• Foil
• Grill
• Kitchen Knife

To make grilled bananas, you will want one banana per person. Hold the banana so it curves upward and cut a slit from the stem to the opposite end through the top of the peel and through the banana, but making sure you don’t cut through the peel on the other site.

Open up the banana a bit and start stuffing it with your desired toppings.

I like to set up a a variety of toppings — things like granola, coconut, marshmallows, chocolate chips, chopped pecans, peanut butter chips, and graham cracker pieces. I placed most of my toppings in small 4 oz canning jars.

I even include some honey and cinnamon sugar too, which are delicious additions.

After you have filled your banana, it’s wrapped up in foil and placed on the grill.

After grilling, the skin will get a bit dark (depends on how long you keep it on the grill), but the inside with be full of warm, gooey, and delicious!
