Author Notes
Growing up, banana boats were my favorite childhood dessert because they are healthy, delicious, and have always satisfied my sweet tooth. This recipe is one of my favorite ways to make banana boats because the caramelized dates add the perfect amount of sweetness and a little bit of toasty, caramelly crunch to this tasty treat! —Riley Cookië
