The Easter Egg Surprise!
This recipe takes the classic baked banana up a notch by stuffing it with a delightful surprise: chopped-up Easter eggs! Milk chocolate, peanut butter, or caramel eggs all work well, adding a fun and festive touch to your Easter treat.
Here's What You'll Need:
4 ripe bananas
4 tbsp softened butter
1/4 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup chopped Easter eggs (milk chocolate, peanut butter, or caramel recommended)
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch of nutmeg (optional)
Aluminium foil
Let's Get Baking!
Fire Up the Fun: Following the LUME firepit instructions, get your firepit going and establish a good bed of embers.
Prep the Bananas: Leave the stem on for easy handling. Using a sharp knife, carefully make a lengthwise slit down the back of each banana, but don't cut all the way through.
Make the Filling: In a small bowl, cream together your softened butter and brown sugar until smooth. Then, stir in the chopped Easter eggs and your choice of spices (cinnamon and nutmeg, if using).
Stuff and Wrap: Carefully spoon the Easter egg mixture into the slit of each banana. Wrap each banana loosely in aluminum foil, ensuring a tight seal to prevent any leakage.
Bake on the LUME: Place the wrapped bananas directly on the LUME grill (if using) or carefully positioning them over the hot charcoal. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and heated through.
Enjoy Responsibly! Using oven mitts or tongs carefully remove the foil packages from your LUME and let them cool for a few minutes before unwrapping. Remember, the bananas will be hot!
Tips for a Top-Tier Treat:
Adjust the baking time based on the heat of your LUME firepit and the ripeness of your bananas.
For an extra decadent touch, drizzle the warm bananas with melted chocolate or caramel sauce before serving. A side of ice cream is a great accompaniment too.
Be cautious when unwrapping the hot bananas, as steam will escape.
So gather your loved ones around the warm glow of your LUME firepit, and enjoy these delicious Easter egg surprise baked bananas! This recipe is sure to be a hit for all ages, making your Easter celebration a memorable one.
