Ingredients

2 ripe bananas
1/2 cup dark chocolate chips or chopped dark chocolate
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Aluminum foil for wrapping

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Prepare the Bananas: Slice each banana lengthwise down the middle, leaving the peel intact. Gently press the sides of the banana to create an opening.
