Number Of Ingredients 3

Ingredients

1 large banana, unpeeled
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

Slice an unpeeled banana lengthwise without cutting all the way through the top or bottom of the peel. Gently open it so it's like a boat, then fill with the brown sugar and cinnamon, pressing them into the flesh without squishing. Wrap the banana tightly in foil. Cook in the coals of the campfire, away from any active flames, for about 10 minutes. Serve hot.

CAMPFIRE BANANAS FOSTER

This is a favorite of my Boy Scouts that graduated as Eagle Scouts from BSA Troop 47, Littleton, Colorado when I was their Scoutmaster. We challenged the Scouts to do one "gourmet" dish for each campout, and this was my "example" entry to spur them on to doing more than just beans and weenies. They got the idea quickly and not only changed what they were cooking [for the better] but how they prepared and cleaned up their creations. I have one Eagle Scout that is now an award winning chef working in NYC, largely because of his experiences while camping and earning the BSA Cooking Merit Badge.
