Baked Banana Boats

Add some excitement to bananas by adding your favourite ingredients to them, and popping them into the oven for a delicious treat. For big kids: have them measure out the ingredients. Both big and little kids can help fill the bananas.

--Ingredients--

4 medium bananas, unpeeled
1/2 cup unsweetened crushed pineapple, drained
1/4 cup granola without raisins
1/4 cup chopped pecans
4 teaspoons miniature semisweet chocolate chips

--STEP 1--

Cut each banana lengthwise about 1/2 in. deep, leaving 1/2 in. uncut at both ends. Place each banana on a 12-in. square of foil; crimp and shape foil around bananas so they sit flat. Gently pull each banana peel open, forming a pocket. Fill pockets with pineapple, granola, pecans and chocolate chips.

--STEP 2--

Place on a baking sheet. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until chips are softened.
