Ingredients

• 4 whole Bananas
• 0.5 cup Brown sugar

• 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Dark rum (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup Pecans (chopped, optional)
• 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
• 4 sheets Aluminum foil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your grill to medium heat or your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Step 2

Peel the bananas and slice them into thick diagonal pieces (about 1/2-inch thick).

Step 3

Lay out 4 sheets of aluminum foil, each about 12x12 inches.

Step 4

Place one sliced banana in the center of each foil sheet.

Step 5

Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of brown sugar and a pinch of ground cinnamon over each banana.

Step 6

Add 1 tablespoon of butter (cut into small pieces) on top of each banana.

Step 7

If using rum, drizzle 1/2 tablespoon over each banana packet for extra flavor.

Step 8

Drizzle 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract over each packet.

Step 9

Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped pecans if desired.

Step 10

Fold up the sides of the foil to create a sealed packet. Make sure it's tightly sealed to prevent leaks.

Step 11

Place the foil packets on the preheated grill or on a baking sheet if using the oven.

Step 12

Grill or bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the bananas are soft and the sauce is bubbly.

Step 13

Carefully open the packets (watch out for hot steam!) and transfer the contents to serving bowls.

Step 14

Serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top.
