These delicious, warm bananas are great on camp-outs or in the backyard. You can eat them right out of the foil bowl. Cleanup is easy, too. —Sheila Parker, Reno, Nevada

Tip

Freeze Bananas

Peel and mash overripe bananas with 1 teaspoon of lemon juice for each banana used. Freeze in 1- or 2-cup amounts in airtight containers for up to 6 months. When you do have time to bake, about 1-1/3 cups mashed bananas equals three medium or four small bananas.

These are great to do on the grill. I have another tip for all those bananas that seem to ripen overnight. Toss them in the freezer peel and all. They look terrible and are black but it doesn't hurt them a bit. When ready to use take out as many as needed, toss them in the microwave for about 15-20 seconds, depends on wattage of microwave and then proceed to use them in your recipe. No waste, no fuss and convenient.

We used to make these all the time when I was younger and camped a lot with Scouts. It was a "must have" on every camping trip! Easy and fun. Now I make them at home in the oven.

We've been making these while camping for years now, and they're always a big hit.

Simple. Didn't have a grill, so put it in the oven at 400 degrees for 4 to 5 minutes. worked perfectly. Nice dessert treat for a sweet tooth...yet not to sweet or calorie intense.
