After 15 years as a , there are very few things I miss. Steaks? Never a fan. Hamburgers? After a decade and a half away from them, I couldn’t tell you the difference between an Impossible Whopper and a real one. But there’s one thing that I still have a hard time replacing: marshmallows.

For those of you who don’t obsessively read over the ingredient lists on your sweets, marshmallows contain gelatin, which is made from processed livestock bones and hides—a no-go for anyone who doesn’t eat meat. Yes, there are vegetarian marshmallows out there, which mostly use seaweed-derived agar instead of animal products, and they’ve come a long way from their gummy beginnings. But finding them in many supermarkets is still tough, and snagging them in a rural gas station on your way to the trailhead is out of the question.

As a s’mores-loving vegetarian, I’ve had to get creative to find a replacement vegetarian marshmallow. My personal favorite substitute: the humble and easy-to-find banana. You can roast slices on a stick just like a marshmallow, then sandwich them with chocolate between two graham crackers for a creamy, caramelized vegetarian s’more. If you’re interested in getting just a little bit fancier, though, this two-ingredient take on a classic campfire banana boat cooks right in the banana’s peel.
