Barbecued chocolate and walnut bananas recipe
Sausages, steak, skewers and salads galore. There’s a lot to remember when you’re hosting a barbecue, and one thing often gets neglected: pudding. But we think barbecue desserts (and campfire desserts, for that matter) should definitely be a thing.
You’ll probably agree once you try this wonderfully simple recipe. Chocolate, walnuts and mini marshmallows take your standard barbecued banana to the next level, while salted caramel sauce adds just the right amount of sophistication – making this a proper crowd-pleasing pud.
Even better, you can prep these ahead of time, so they’re ready to throw on the coals, pop in the oven or pack up for a camping trip as needed.

Step-by-step
- Slice along the length of the bananas to form deep slits (but make sure you don't cut right through) and place each on a large square of foil.
- Open the slits and press in the chocolate chips and marshmallows.
- Wrap up the foil loosely to seal. Place on a barbecue or griddle (grill) pan and cook for 15 minutes, until the bananas are soft and the chocolate has melted.
- Alternatively, cook the bananas in the oven at 200°C/180°C fan/390°F/gas mark 6 for 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, mix the walnuts and caramel sauce. Open the foil parcels and top the bananas with the walnut mixture.
- Serve at once, topped with a scoop of ice cream.
