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.

S'mores Bars (vegan + gluten-free)

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!

DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made DAIRY-FREE CHOCOLATE CREAMI RECIPE🍫 I’ve made this many many times to get it just right, and alas it is PERFECT. Date-sweetened, high protein, and soooooo creamy🍦 Add whatever mix-ins you love (chocolate chips, sprinkles, brownie chunks, cookie dough, m&ms, granola, etc.)

If you don’t have a Ninja Creami, I’ll pop the link to my blender chocolate soft serve recipe in my stories✌️

INGREDIENTS
1 cup (240g) cashew milk (or almond milk)
1/2 cup (120g) canned coconut milk
2 scoops (40g) chocolate protein powder (I use @sproutliving)
2-3 (65g) pitted medjool dates
2 tbsp (12g) cocoa powder
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Optional: 1 tbsp (16g) chocolate @sunbutter, peanut butter, or tahini

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Pour into a Creami container and freeze overnight. Process on the light ice cream setting, it will be powdery at this point. Add a splash of milk (preferably coconut) and re-spin once or twice as needed. Add mix-ins of choice, and process on the mix-in setting. Enjoy!

No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate No-Churn Pistachio Ice Cream💚 A love it or hate it flavor, but if you love it you will LOVE this recipe! Dairy-free, just 6 ingredients, and creamy as can be thanks to @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream🍨

INGREDIENTS
-1 cups (130g) raw pistachios, shells removed
-2 cans 13.5oz cans @edwardandsons Let’s Do Organic Heavy Coconut Cream
-1/3 cup (105g) maple syrup
-1 tsp vanilla extract
-1 tsp almond extract
-1/2 tsp salt
-Optional: 1/8 tsp spirulina or 1/4 tsp matcha powder for color

INSTRUCTIONS
Shake the coconut cream cans and pour the entire contents into a medium saucepan. Add pistachios, maple syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and simmer for 15 minutes stirring occasionally. It will thicken slightly and the pistachios will soften. Remove from heat, stir in the extracts, cool 10 minutes. Blend until very smooth.

Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and freeze overnight. The next day, blend the cubes with a splash of coconut cream until creamy. If you don’t have a blender with a tamper, I recommend using a food processor and stopping to scrape down the sides often. You will have a soft-serve consistency at this point.

Transfer to a loaf pan, freeze 30-60 minutes until it is scoop-able but not frozen solid. Then scoop and serve. Keep leftovers in the freezer, covered. To serve from fully frozen, thaw 30-45 minutes until soft enough to scoop.

If you have an ice cream maker: cool the mixture 1-2 hours after blending, then churn for 30-45 minutes

If you have a Ninja Creami: cool the mixture for 30 minutes, then pour into Creami containers and freeze overnight. Then process on the ice cream setting. If it comes out powdery, add a splash of coconut milk and re-spin 1 to 2 times

Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy Copycat KUDOS GRANOLA BARS😋 a.k.a. really yummy, chewy, easy, chocolate chip, chocolate dipped, granola bars!

INGREDIENTS
-4 cups (120g) crispy rice cereal
-2 cups (160g) quick oats
-2 14oz cans sweetened condensed coconut milk
-1/2 tsp salt
-3/4 cup (120g) mini chocolate chips
-1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips, melted

Combine cereal, oats, and salt in a large bowl. In a small saucepan, heat the sweetened condensed coconut milk to a simmer. Simmer and whisk until smooth and visibly thickened (8-10 minutes). Pour on top of the dry ingredients and mix until evenly coated. Set aside to cool about 10-15 minutes (IMPORTANT so you don’t melt the chocolate chips!)

Preheat the oven to 250°F. Fold in mini chocolate chips. Transfer mixture to a square baking dish (8×8”) lined with parchment paper, place a piece of wax paper on top, and use your hands or another pan to press in VERY firmly. Bake 1 hour at 250°F. Cool, then chill 4 hours (makes them easier to slice/coat). Lift out of the pan, slice into 10 bars.

Dip the bottom of each bar in melted chocolate, then place on wax paper to set. Drizzle the tops with more melted chocolate. Chill until chocolate is set.

EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking EASY LINZER FLOWERS🌸 Perfect last minute baking for a mama you appreciate, or just a springy sweet treat for yourself too. With a raspberry pomegranate filling that is the perfect tart-sweet balance to these buttery cookies❤️

INGREDIENTS
-1/2 cup (113g) dairy-free butter, softened
-1/2 cup (110g) cane sugar
-2 tsps vanilla extract
-1 1/2 cups (180g) gluten-free or all-purpose flour
-3/4 cup (84g) almond flour
-Zest of one lemon
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 jar @stdalfourusa Raspberry & Pomegranate Fruit Spread
-Optional: 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, melted for dipping/drizzling OR powdered sugar for dusting

In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment or using a hand-mixer, beat the softened butter until light and fluffy (about two minutes). Add sugar and vanilla extract, beat again to combine. Place a mesh strainer on top of the bowl and measure out the flours and salt. Sift in all together, then add the lemon zest. Mix on medium speed to form a crumbly dough. 

Gently knead the dough into a ball. Roll out the dough between two sheets of wax paper to about 1/4 inch thickness. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut out using a linzer cookie cutter–half should be solid cookies, half should have the center punched out. Carefully transfer cookies to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake 9-10 minutes, until golden brown around the edges. Let them cool 10 minutes on the pan, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. 

Flip over the solid cookies, and place a teaspoon of fruit spread on the center of each. Top with the cut-out cookies. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
