In need of a nourishing sweet treat? These S’mores Oatmeal Bars fit the bill! They taste like the classic campfire delicacy! Gluten-free, dairy-free w/ a vegan-option.
We are back with s’more tasty recipes (pun intended ). I’ve been dreaming of making a gooey s’mores bar style recipe for a couple months now, and finally decided to create it! Let me tell you, these are a winner.
The crust is made with oats plus graham crackers to make it dense, chewy and sweet. I could have used another flour for this part, but I was out and oat flour seemed to fit the bill here.
Next is the chocolate- marshmallow layer. AKA the ooey gooey goodness layer. I used dark chocolate chips and mini mallows here, but you could easily use chopped chocolate and cut up large mallows.
And finally the cherry on top is the the graham-oat crumb topping. Just mix some crushed graham crackers, oats, maple syrup and coconut oil and spoon on top.
And then you bake it and impatiently wait until it is cool enough to eat!
Here is what you need to make this recipe:
oats
graham crackers
applesauce
egg (or flax egg)
maple syrup
mini marshmallows
dark chocolate chips
crumb topping

Love the idea of combining oat and graham crackers together!! I bet that provides the best texture 🙂
It is an amazing texture + combo! Thanks Brittany!
Oh my goodness, how divine! Would it be a sin if I added a layer of almond or peanut or cashew butter?? Or a layer of healthy, homemade Nutella??? Is it really possible so much gooey-goodness can exist on one plate????
Adding nut butter sounds amazing!! Thank you Whitney!
Hi guys! Just wondering what you mean by ‘large loaf pan’…would a 9×13 glass baking dish work?
That could work!
For the topping- how much graham cracker? The recipe seems to have a glitch. Also- assuming you just add the chocolate chips in with the topping. Recipe doesn’t discuss the chocolate chips, though they are an Ingredient. Thanks
Hi Jordyn!
Sorry about that – the recipe got jumbled after we edited our site. 2 graham crackers for the topping and yes, you add the chocolate chips to the toping! Thanks so much for pointing out!
When going to link for graham crackers, it shows cinnamon flavor. Is that what you like to use or do you use regular flavor, honey ?
We used cinnamon, but honey or regular would also work! Even chocolate graham crackers would be good 🙂
