Baked Banana S’mores You Can Eat with a Spoon

Vicky Nguyen
This article is written by a student writer from the Spoon University at Texas chapter.

You’ve eaten s’mores and probably heard of (and maybe tried) all the ways to change it up: baking it, grilling it, microwaving it, adding extra stuff like honey or peanut butter (if you haven’t, you definitely need to check out this article for some ideas). You also may have heard of grilled banana s’mores, but I can assure you that this recipe ain’t that. You don’t need a grill for this, just an oven. These s’mores are super simple and quick, perfect for the laziest of people (i.e. college students).

6. Split the marshmallows in half and layer them evenly on top of the chocolate. You can space them out in the middle and push them tightly together on the edges to create a crust.

7. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes to allow the marshmallows to thoroughly soften on the inside.
8. Broil on high for 10 seconds and watch to make sure the marshmallows are browned to your liking.

Just in case one photo of the gooey deliciousness wasn’t enough for you, here it is again because you can’t ever have too many photos of baked banana s’mores. Spoon that chocolatey paradise onto a plate and you’re ready for dessert.
