Ingredients:
- 1 banana with peel
- 1 tablespoon crushed pineapple
- 1 tablespoon coconut flakes
Directions:
1. Leave the peel on the banana and make a deep cut down the long side through the peel and into the banana. Do not cut all the way through.
2. Slightly pull the cut apart to make a pocket in the banana.
3. Fill the pocket with crushed pineapple and top with coconut flakes.
4. Wrap the banana in foil. Place on a grill or near the coals of a campfire.
5. Heat until warm, about 5 minutes at medium high heat.
6. Carefully remove the foil packet from the heat. Let cool slightly and remove foil. The peel may be black but the inside will be warm and delicious.
Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours.
