What is a banana boat?
A banana boat is a dessert which is designed to be made while camping. Many generations of campers have developed their own unique takes on the banana boat; the earliest published recipes for this dessert appear in Girl Scout guides. As you might imagine, the centerpiece of the dessert is a banana, topped with an assortment of ingredients of choice and then roasted in the fire to warm the banana through and turn the dessert into a rich, gooey mass.
