Gluten-Free S'more Bars
No fire is required for these soft and gooey Loaded S'mores Bars. A buttery cookie and graham cracker crust paired with melted chocolate and marshmallows. The ultimate dessert that will make you feel like a kid again!
Servings: 9 bars
Ingredients
- 1 1/4 cup gluten-free 1:1 baking flour* I used Bob's Red Mill
- 3/4 cups gluten-free graham cracker crumbs
- 3/4 cup Brown Swerve* packed
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter 1 stick, melted (can use vegan)
- 1 large egg*
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 cup mini marshmallows
- 1 1/2 cup milk chocolate chips can use vegan
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350F and melt the butter. Make the graham cracker crumbs by adding them to a food processor and processing for 30 seconds or until crumbly.
- In a large mixing bowl add the gluten-free flour, brown sugar, salt, and graham cracker crumbers. Mix together until combined.
- Add in the egg, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Mix together until it becomes a dough.
- Coat an 8x8 or 9x9 baking dish and add 3/4 of the dough to the bottom (save the rest for the topping). Press the dough down until there is an even layer. Bake on 350F for 10 minutes.
- Remove the dough and add the chocolate chips over the top of the dough. Next, add the marshmallows over the chocolate. Finally, add the rest of the dough over the top of the marshmallow.
- Place bake in the 350F oven for 15-17 minutes until bubbly and lightly browned.
- Allow to completely cool for at least 30 minutes to an hour. They will be very hard and crumbly to cut if the bars are still warm. Allow them to cool completely.
Notes
I highly recommend using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1:1 baking because it included the xanthan gum. If you don't use this brand, make sure whatever brand you are using includes xanthan gum.
If you are not gluten-free you can sub all-purpose flour in place of the gluten-free flour
Feel free to substitute light brown sugar or coconut sugar for the Brown Swerve. I am using that to cut down on the sugar in this recipe.
Feel free to use vegan butter and chocolate chips
For Vegan, sub ¼ cup of unsweetened apple sauce to replace one egg. You can also combine a tablespoon of ground flaxseed with 3 tablespoons of water, stir to combine, and let stand for 5 minutes to thicken.
