I have been a fan of Karly and her blog, Buns In My Oven, for quite some time now. So it’s pretty darn exciting to have her here sharing a recipe with us today!
Do you know what I love the most about Karly? Well not only does she share a ton of yummy recipes… but her photography is always just… well… perfect! I’m pretty sure she could make liver and brussel sprouts look pretty. I hope you’ll head over to Buns In My Oven and look around… you are most definitely going to like what you see!!

I’m so excited to be guest posting for the fabulous girls at eighteen25 today! As soon as they asked me to share a summer recipe with y’all, I knew just what I was going to share. It’s simple, it’s quick, it’s perfect for a crowd, and best of all? No hot ovens.
I don’t know about you guys, but when we entertain in the summer (or even when we are just at home by ourselves) we tend to use the grill. It keeps the house from heating up and, let’s face it, anything cooked on the grill is going to be delish! Even better, usually it’s the men of the house that do the grilling! Not my house, though. My husband uses his “I’m color-blind” excuse to get out of cooking. He says he can’t tell when it’s burnt. I’m 98.5% sure that he’s lying.
One of my favorite desserts to serve in the summer are these grilled bananas. No mixing bowls, no measuring cups, no hot oven, and best of all, no dirty dishes to wash! I don’t know about you, but I kinda hate washing dishes. Like, totally.
Next time you have a get-together, grab a bunch of bananas (one for each person – I promise no one will want to share!), and a couple of different mix-ins. Chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, caramel bits, peanuts, Nutella, whatever sounds good to you and will fit in a banana. Let everyone stuff their own banana and get to grilling! Couldn’t be simpler!
Stuffed Grilled Bananas
serves 4
-
4 ripe bananas
-
toppings of your choice
Slit the bananas in half lengthwise, but be careful not to cut all the way through to the bottom. Spread apart the peel a bit and stuff full of the toppings. Place on a foil lined grill for about 5 minutes, or until the bananas are heated and the toppings are getting melty.

I haven't tried this yet but it looks so yummy. And I figure at least my kids get some fruit in there, so it's not all bad stuff….ha

Oh my gosh. I can't wait to make this tonight for dessert. Thank you so much for the recipe. Your photography of the food is amazing. Do you do post tips for photographing food on your blog? Oh never mind, I think I will just hop over and take a peak.
Thanks Laura! You're too sweet!
I haven't ever done a photography tutorial…I figure it's been done before by people who can explain it better than me, but maybe y'all would like to see a couple of pull back shots of my set up something? 🙂
let me just say: YUM.
and this is coming from a girl who gags on bananas.
i actually am bookmarking this to try next time my hubs grills out!
thank you!
Yummy! I learned how to make those at girls camp, when I was a teenager. But it looks like you have some yummy new ideas for toppings. Are those little round things carmel balls?
These look great! I am going to try them tonight!
Momma Teaches, yep, they're little caramel balls! They're made by Kraft and found near the chocolate chips! 🙂
This sounds delish! Thanks for sharing!!!
You forgot to add, "top with ice cream before eating"!
I never would have thought of this! It's ingenious and looks so tasty
We make these but add marshmallows also yummy!!!!
WOW! Those look sooo yummy and easy! Thanks for the awesome idea, I can't wait to try them!!!
I've never even thought of these – it sounds delicious! Next time the Mister has the grill fired up, I'll have him toss a few on ! Thanks! 🙂
This would be great camping food for kids. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to see my kids try it.
We live in the south and it's been 100 degrees lately. Since we don't have a grill, I thought it might be fun to put these in the car to cook. And it worked! After about an hour I went to check it and every thing was warm and melted and ooey gooey delicious!
Thanks for sharing!
Hi, I recently made this recipe and shared your blog link on my post. Thank you!

Chocolate, marshmallow, strawberries and pineapple!
My husbands 50 birthday is coming up. I am going to set up 50 banana shaped as a cake and put #50 candles in them. After he blows out the candles,, everyone grabs a banana. Served with a ice cream cup.
