Vegan Banana Boats

Vegan banana boats are sweet, gooey, and full of fun flavors and textures! The perfect summertime treat.

Am I alone in still being in disbelief that it’s already July?!

Summer is FLYING by, so I think we need to prioritize the summer sweets before their time is gone for another year. I mean, we’ve got all the time in the world to make vegan cookie dough cake whenever we want, but there’s something about vegan banana boats that just screams summer!

So the concept for these vegan banana boats is pretty simple, but oh so fun. Slice your banana length-wise, load it with fun, yummy things, bake until gooey and melty, let it cool just enough not to burn the roof of your mouth right off, and devour.

Ingredients for vegan banana boats

• Banana: make sure your banana is ripe so that it’s flavorful and sweet, but not too ripe that it’s super mushy even before baking.
• Toppings of your choice: think vegan chocolate chips, nuts, shredded coconut, fruit, nut butter, etc.

Tips for making vegan banana boats

• Have fun with it! The best part about vegan banana boats is you can literally put anything you want inside. I went with chocolate chips (surprising, right?), shredded coconut, peanut butter, and raspberries. Highly recommend the fresh fruit! The raspberries were seriously the perfect tart, juicy contrast to all the richness going on.

I ended up baking mine for about 8 minutes, but like I said, just keep an eye on them and take them out whenever your toppings look sufficiently gooey and tempting. I love love love these as a fun summer treat, get to it before summer is gone!
