Gathering around a campfire, sharing stories and eating delicious food is a fun way to spend a summer evening. Whether you are out enjoying the great outdoors, or just sitting around in the backyard, a campfire is a great way to spend quality time with your family and friends. Most people break out the marshmallows, graham crackers and chocolate for s'mores as a campfire desert, but there are other delicious campfire recipes that you can easily make if you want to try something a bit different this summer. This grilled banana and honey campfire recipe is a healthy alternative that tastes absolutely incredible. It is especially yummy when cooked over the hot coals on a summer camping trip. Not going camping anytime soon? You can still enjoy this campfire dessert recipe by using a grill or oven.

Ingredients for Healthy Grilled Banana and Honey Dessert Campfire Recipe:

1 Banana for each person

1 bottle of honey

Cinnamon

1 package of heavy duty aluminum foil

Directions for Healthy Grilled Banana and Honey Dessert Campfire Recipe:

First, cut a large piece of heavy duty aluminum foil for each banana. If you don't have heavy duty aluminum foil, you may want to double or triple the foil to prevent leaking.

Next, cut up the banana into bite size pieces. I usually like to just chop the banana up into ½ inch round slices.

Arrange the pieces of banana in the middle of the sheet of aluminum foil.

Next, drizzle honey over the banana slices. Use enough to coat the banana. If you really love honey, feel free to use it generously. It all depends on your personal taste.

Next, sprinkle cinnamon over the honey coated banana slices. Again, the amount depends on your personal taste. For a richer cinnamon flavor, coat generously.

Finally, fold up the sides of the aluminum foil and seal the foil with your fingers. Pinch the foil shut and make an envelope with the foil to prevent the honey from leaking.

Repeat this process for each banana.

To cook this healthy banana and honey dessert, place each foil packet over the hot coals in your campfire. Grill the packet for 5 minutes on each side. Carefully open the foil and enjoy!

You can still enjoy this delicious banana and honey desert even if you aren't going camping. Cook the packets in a 350 degree oven for 10 minutes and enjoy a healthy desert any time of the year!
