S’mores Bars

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Bring the messy summer sweeteness of s’mores inside with these vegan S’mores Bars featuring a “graham cracker” crust, chocolate chips, and marshmallows!

S'mores Bars (vegan + gluten-free)

Nothing can beat real deal outdoor s’mores complimented with the smoky scent of burning firewood on a summer’s night. But. We got the next best thing right here, friends.

How to Make S’mores Bars

These vegan gluten-free S’mores Bars are indoor oven s’mores at their easy messy best. I promise no gooey-ness was lost in the transition.

The crust. Instead of sending you in search of gluten-free vegan graham crackers, we are using my favorite sneaky swap: GRANOLA. Grind that stuff up with some flour to bind, cinnamon and vanilla for flavor, a little flour to make it more cookie-like, and you have the perfect “graham cracker” crust.

Chocolate and marshmallows. There really are no rules here. Use dark chocolate or semi sweet. Big chip or chunks. Mini marshmallows or chop up the big guys (vegan versions exist for both!). And never be afraid to add more than the recipe calls for.

S'mores Bars (vegan + gluten-free)

How to Eat S’mores Bars

So the basic process is: bake the crust. Cool briefly. Add the chips and marshmallows. Bake again briefly. Broil to toasty marshmallow magnificence.

I am warning you now that these bars really are most manageable if you let them cool before slicing and eating. The perfectly toasted marshmallows will call to scream at you to SLICE THEM ALREADY. But try to resist for like 30 minutes and they will slice less stickily and hold together much better. Don’t worry there will still be plenty of finger licking opportunities. There is no clean and graceful way to consume them.

    Could I use almond flour instead of cassava?

      You can try almond, but the crust will be more crumbly. I’d recommend oat or buckwheat or a gf blend instead!

      The marshmallow gooey-ness is obviously best day you make them, but in the fridge sealed up well they can easily last 4-5 days!

    Hi, made these yesterday for a church potluck – all gone by end of day! These are very easy to make, look fantastic and taste great – not too sweet, not too crumbly.

    Also, I wanted to validate you on your recipe writing – your instructions are sort and sweet – not super complicated – excellent! AND mostly 1 page for printing! Thanks and keep up the great work on easy, doable vegan, GF desserts.

Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free whi Some recipes are worth splurging on dairy-free white chocolate and this is DEFINITELY one of them🤎🤍 That decadent chocolate + peanut butter + coconut middle 1000% deserves the creamy coating and sprinkle finish, trust me💗 Recipe below…

Vegan White Chocolate Valentine’s Truffles
-1 package @emmysorganics Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies
-1/4 cup (65g) almond or peanut butter
-1/3 cup (60g) dark chocolate chips, melted
-Pinch of salt
-1/2 tsp vanilla extract
-8oz vegan white chocolate.
-Optional: natural pink sprinkles + 1/4 cup more melted dark chocolate for topping

Melt the white chocolate. Pour a small spoonful into the bottom of each cavity of the mold, and tilt to coat the bottom and up the sides of each heart. Freeze. Set aside the remaining white chocolate. Melt the dark chocolate chips. In a food processor combine the Dark Cacao Coconut Cookies, almond/peanut butter, melted chocolate, salt, and vanilla. Process until smooth, it should be the consistency of a thick brownie batter. Place about 2 tsps of the chocolate mixture into each heart and press to flatten. Cover with remaining melted white chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set. Carefully remove from the molds. Optionally drizzle with more dark chocolate and top with sprinkles. Enjoy!

Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyy Its #nationalmedjooldateday 🥳🥳 I have wayyyyyy too many medjool recipes on the blog to mention, so I picked this friday-easy, highly-fudgy, personal fave: No-Bake Vegan Chocolate Cream Pie!

Four ingredient chocolate crumb crust. Three ingredient date-sweetened cream filling. Its truly TOO simple and TOO good❤️

Crust
-2 cups almonds (or nuts of choice)
-1/2 cup cocoa powder
-1/2 tsp salt
-1/4 cup coconut oil
Filling
-12oz unsweetened chocolate, melted
-3 cups non-dairy milk 
-1 cup (10-12) pitted medjool dates (@ndmedjooldates are my favorite!)

Blend almonds, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the coconut oil. Blend until the texture is moist and crumbly. Press into the bottom of a pie pan and up the sides.

Blend the milk and dates on high until very smooth. Add melted chocolate and blend until combined. Pour into the crust and smooth the top. Refrigerate (creamier more like a pudding/mud pie) or freeze (firmer texture) overnight, or for at least 8 hours. Slice and enjoy!

Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly wi Channeling sweet summer energy into this chilly winter week with a Dark Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake Bar closeup🍫❤️ Swap in any berry you love (big big fan of the tart raspberry tang though😋), but you need a bite of this lush dairy-free filling on top of @emmysorganics dark cacao cookie crust situation.

Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cu Is it even christmas time without a gingerbread cutout cookie + sprinkles moment??🎄

This is my fave vegan and paleo recipe—super moist and tender with almond flour, heavy on the molasses, with a pop of lemon, and they’re oil-free!

Ingredients
-1/2 cup coconut sugar
-1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut/seed butter)
-1/4 cup molasses
-1 tbsp lemon juice
-2 tsps ginger
-1 tsp cinnamon
-1/4 tsp cloves
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-2 cups almond flour (oat flour option linked in my bio!)

Whisk coconut sugar, almond butter, molasses, and lemon juice until combined. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix/knead to form a ball of dough. Roll out the dough to 1/4 inch thickness between two pieces of wax paper. Chill dough flat for 30 minutes. Cutout cookies with a cookie cutter, then use a spatula to carefully transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 10 minutes at 350F or until golden around the edges. You can re-roll/cut the excess dough. Cool completely. Decorate (I used melted coconut butter + matcha for the “glaze”) and enjoy!
