You won’t miss the boat with any of these delicious Banana Boat Recipes. All four recipes can be made on the grill, over an open camp fire or even in the oven. Your kids and grand-kids alike will enjoy making banana boats this summer. You can make banana boats while your camping, grilling out or even inside on a rainy day. Assemble all Banana Boat ingredients and head outside.

Four Delicious Recipes

I have included four delicious recipes to make banana boats. Each recipe serves one but you can easily double, triple, quadruple and so on. There is no limit to how many banana boats you can make, you can make as many banana boats as you can eat! Prep time for each boat, is about 5 minutes and cook time is roughly 10 minutes. Cook times will vary according to method used.

First Up

The first recipe is for S’more Banana Boats. They’re reminiscent of that classic summertime favorite, the  S’more. The second recipe is a real coconut lovers dream come true, Coconut Banana Boats. The third recipe is made after one of my favorite dessert bar recipes, the seven layer bar. Seven layer Banana Boats are delicious. Last but not least is our recipe for Anna Banana Boats, made with mini peanut butter chips.

For this recipe we used Honey Maid Graham Crackers, Kraft Mini Marshmallows, Hershey’s Milk Chocolate Chips and Toll House Chocolate Chips
