Banana S’mores

Updated 16 March 2021 Published 19 August 2014 79 Comments

JUMP TO RECIPE

Banana S’mores are utterly delicious and the perfect dessert to make on the BBQ or whilst camping. If you’re in a hurry you can use the microwave!

After a recent chat with Christina from Christina’s Cucina we got talking about S’mores, a term I have seen crop up so many times on Twitter courtesy of all the American food bloggers I follow.

I always wondered where the word originated from and whether it was a take on the Danish word for butter “smør”.

Well it turns out I was totally wrong and the term stems from the words “some more” Christina informed me! The original S’more is a camp fire snack (popular in America and Canada) and consists of 2 Graham crackers sandwiched together with toasted marshmallow and chocolate – there are many reincarnations of a S’more however!

Being a huge fan of bananas I decided one night to “s’moreify” a couple after a BBQ.

Well I say a couple, I did one and after my daughter saw it she had to have one too and loved it. A week later we had them again when I didn’t have anything planned for dessert and this time I just stuck them under the grill.

This really is one of the easiest yet most delicious puddings you can make in under 10 minutes.

Banana S’mores remind me of little Viking Ships!

I think Banana S’mores are the ideal dessert for when you’re camping or caravanning and perfect for BBQ’s or cooking over a bonfire.

Once you have removed the slither of banana skin then your kids can have fun decorating the banana with the chocolate and marshmallows (like my daughter did above but remind them the banana is hot)! Then you just let the heat from the banana turn the chocolate and marshmallows into molten gorgeousness!

My daughter enjoyed a bit of extra indulgence by having chocolate ice cream with hers but I find it lush enough on its own.

    I would recommend washing bananas thoroughly before starting this recipe, or any recipe, or just eating out of hand.

    S’mores were a staple at Guide Camp when I was growing up. What you are describing is similar to our Banana Boats. We put the marshmallow and chocolate in a split banana and wrapped in foil and let cook over cooler coals while we ate our dinner.

      Yes Banana Boats would have been a good name – I never made it into the guides I was a lousy Brownie who didn’t get a single badge!

    Hhrrm… I dunno – I reckon it needs a bit of peanut butter and then it would be perfect… you’d want s’more! 😀 I grew up on Canadian S’mores and they always had peanut butter (that’s what you stuck the marshmallows and chocolate chips to before sandwiching it all together). 🙂

      I could go with the S’more you mention but the thought of peanut butter and banana kinda turns my tummy!

    Wow, this takes me back to guide camp as a teen when we used to put Dairy Milk chunks into the banana to cook on the camp fire, cue melted chocolate banana gooey goodness! I must give your version a try as it looks amazing.

    I love bananas and chocolate. I sometimes push chocolate buttons through the flesh of a banana and zap them in the microwave for 45 seconds before eating. This is like a super version of that. Yum.

    Every time we had a barbecue when I was a teenager I made a version of these using chocolate buttons. I can remember begging my dad for a barbie just so that I could make this dessert! It was complete extravagance when we also had marshmallows to go in! You’ve reminded me of lots of happy memories with this one, thanks! 😀
