CAMPFIRE BANANAS AT HOME

BAKED BANANA WITH CINNAMON & HONEY (LOW FAT / HEALTHY)

Steps:

• Pre-heat the oven to 200c (or get your BBQ nice and ready if you're BBQing).
• Either slice the banana up into bite-sized pieces or cut it in half lengthways if you're looking for a smarter presentation or are having an ice cream banana split.
• Place the banana on an over-sized square of tin foil and sprinkle with cinnamon (to taste).
• Drizzle 2tsp of honey evenly over the banana and gather up the corners of the foil to create a little banana parcel.
• Place the parcel in the oven (or on the barbie) and bake for approximately 15mins.
• NB. Baking time depends on how you prefer your bananas - the more you bake, the more soft and gooey they get and the more the honey caramelises onto them. Personally I don't like mine too over-baked as I prefer the banana to still be a bit hard and the honey to be liquid.

• Mix the butter with the sugar and treacle, then add the rum. Make a split through the inside curve of each banana skin - be careful not to cut all the way through. Spread a spoonful of the spiced butter inside each skin.
• Place the bananas, curved-side up - so the butter doesn't leak when it melts - onto individual sheets of foil large enough to wrap them completely. Crimp up the foil to make a parcel, then put onto the embers for 15 mins, turning once. The bananas should be sticky and caramelised, but check one and cook for longer if necessary. Serve with a scoop of ice cream.

Transfer to a baking sheet and cook for 25 mins until the bananas have turned black (or pop straight into the BBQ embers for 15 mins).
• Serve with a scoop of ice cream and any melted chocolate that has escaped!
