Banana Boats

1 serving
4 servings
Large banana
2 tsp chocolate chips
2 tsp granola
1 tbsp miniature marshmallows
4 large unpeeled bananas
8 tsp chocolate chips
8 tsp granola
¼ cup miniature marshmallows





Place each banana on a 20 cm square of foil; crimp and shape foil around bananas so they sit flat.  Cut each banana lengthwise about 2 cm deep, leaving 2 cm uncut at both ends.  Gently pull each banana peel open, forming a pocket.  Fill pockets with chocolate chips, granola and marshmallows.
Oven – preheat oven to 325 F. Bake bananas in oven for 5-7 minutes or until marshmallows are melted and golden brown.
Barbeque – Place the banana boats on the grill and close the lid. Cook over medium heat for 4-5 minutes or until marshmallows are melted and golden brown.
Campfire – Place grill over hot coals (NOT over a flame). Grill bananas for 5-7 minutes or until marshmallows are melted and golden brown.

Reflection






What went well?
The Cooking went very well. We all made one successful banana boat. Plus i had second because Ines didn't want hers! Except Ines didn't put chocolate chips on hers:( We followed all the steps in order and the banana boats turned out great! We all did our jobs. Brittany washed the dishes, Ines wiped and sweeped, and I dried and took the boats out of the oven!What did not go so well?
Some things that didn't go well were when i opened the oven. i forgot to open it a bit to let the heat escape and the heat rushed onto my face. Another thing was i told Brittany to drain the water, but we forgot to clean our spoons. The one other mistake i made was I poured the bleach without rubber gloves and i got some on my skin. Since those mistakes I've made have been recognized by myself, I've learned my lesson and will correct them for the future.


What would you have done different?
Some things I would have done differently were probably to ad more ingredients to my product. Such as more chocolate chips, more marshmallows, and more granola. Ha ha thinking back now, i realized i really should have done that. I'm not saying I didn't enjoy My original one! I'm just saying it would 've tasted better!


Something I have learned?
something  i learnd was to make banana boats. ive never made one or had one before! its deffenitly domthing i will make more for myself, family, and friends! Had a great time! making this recipe! Hooray!!
