Gluten Free S’Mores Brownies

Caramelized marshmallow paired with a fudgy brownie and honey graham crackers, these gluten-free s’mores brownies are a fun twist on brownies!

These smores brownies are perfect for a sweet summertime snack. They are so easy to make and can be made vegan-friendly too!

Summertime always screams marshmallow, graham cracker and CHOCOLATE to me.

I love sitting around a fire with close friends and family, roasting marshmallows on a stick, and smushing it between a crunchy graham cracker and a decadent piece of chocolate.

Hea-ven.

These gluten-free marshmallow brownies captured the nostalgia of a traditional s’more, but just leveled up by adding my favorite sweet potato brownie recipe to the mix!

As an added bonus, these can be made year ‘round so you can get that campfire s’more treat anytime

How to Make Gluten Free S’mores Brownies

This recipe is so simple.

A layer of a graham cracker crust, a layer of sweet potato brownies and top it off with marshmallows and more crackers.

First, start with the graham cracker crust layer.

Crumble up the crackers in a food processor or crush them in a zip lock bag using a rolling pin.

Mix the crumbles with coconut oil. The mixture will be thick, sandy and crumbly. Press a good layer on the bottom of a parchment paper lined baking dish (I used 8×8).

Bake in the oven 300 F for 10 minutes to set.

Then now we move on to the sweet potato brownie layer.

Simply add all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and combine with a hand mixer.

Use a parchment paper-lined 8×8 inch baking pan for ~ 1” thick brownies. If you would like a thinner brownie layer, use a larger baking pan.

Lastly, top off the s’mores brownies.

Break graham crackers into small pieces and sprinkle on top of the brownie layer along with your favorite marshmallows.

I used Trader Joe’s Honey Graham Crackers for this recipe, but you can use any graham cracker that you like.

Bake the brownies for about 23-25 minutes; until a toothpick comes out clean after inserting it into the center.

You can immediately smudge the marshmallows as they are melty and caramelized to golden brown when they are fresh out of the oven. Alternatively, you can leave it as a whole bite for later.

Note: The graham crackers will crumble a bit when they’re hot. Allow the brownies to cool completely so they set and you won’t need to worry about any crumbling!

How to Make these Vegan Friendly:

1. Substitute flaxseed eggs for eggs.

Flax eggs are a vegan egg substitute that is made from ground flax seeds and water.

The standard flax egg ratio is 1 Tablespoon of flax seeds + 2 Tablespoons of water to replace 1 egg.

2. Use vegan-friendly marshmallows.

Traditional marshmallows use gelatin in the recipe.

However, you can find a lot of vegan-friendly marshmallow recipes online or just purchase a vegan marshmallow option from your grocery store.

How to Store S’mores Brownies

You probably won’t even need to know how to store these because they are going to go so fast.

But if for some reason you have any leftover, you can store these gluten-free smores brownies covered in the fridge for up to a week.

If you decide to freeze them, cut them into single-serve portions and tightly wrap them individually.

When you are ready to eat them, give them about 30 minutes to defrost at room temp or you can throw them in the microwave for 30 seconds.
