S'mores Blondies (Paleo, Vegan)

These s'mores blondies are paleo and vegan friendly - no gluten, eggs or dairy. They're made in a small loaf pan, loaded with mini marshmallows and chunks of dark chocolate and perfect for a simple summer dessert.

If there's one dessert that reminds me of summer, it's s'mores! There's no better way to sit around the campfire (or the bbq) than roasting marshmallows and sandwiching them between some dark chocolate and homemade graham crackers.

But, for when you don't have an open flame available, these s'mores blondies are the next best thing. They consist of a graham cracker flavored cookie dough that's filled with chunks of dark chocolate and marshmallow.

You get the full s'mores flavor without all the mess!

Ingredients

These gluten free s'mores blondies require just 11 ingredients.

Rather than contain actual graham cracker pieces, these s'mores blondies have a graham cracker flavored cookie dough. Which is achieved, all thanks to the addition of cinnamon, nutmeg and molasses.

Here's a list of what you need:

• cassava flour
• baking soda
• cinnamon
• nutmeg
• salt
• unsweetened almond butter
• maple syrup
• molasses
• vanilla extract
• dark chocolate (bar or chips)
• marshmallows

Cassava Flour

While I have not tested this recipe with anything other than cassava flour, subbing with a gluten free blend or all purpose flour should work. For best results, measure the flour by weight, especially if making a substitution. Also, please note that most gluten free blends are not paleo friendly and all purpose flour is neither paleo nor gluten free.

Almond Butter

If you're in need of a nut free s'more blondie recipe, then feel free to swap the almond butter for sunflower seed butter or tigernut butter. This swap will slightly change the taste, but shouldn't have any effect on the texture.

Dark Chocolate

I used Hu salty dark chocolate (it's paleo and vegan), but any variety will work for this recipe. You can also use chocolate chips if you prefer. If you're looking for a lower sugar alternative, try using Pascha 100% dark chocolate chips (they're a favorite of mine).

Marshmallows

Finding a healthy marshmallow brand can be tricky. A few of my favorite paleo marshmallows include: Max Mallow classic vanilla (what I used for this recipe), Sweet Apricity and of course homemade.

If you're in the need for vegan marshmallows, Max Vegan Mallow, Dandies or homemade would be the way to go.

Small or large marshmallows will work. Simply cut larger marshmallows into small pieces for this recipe.

How to Make S'mores Blondies

To make these vegan s'mores blondies, you'll need a large mixing bowl, spatula or wooden spoon for mixing and a parchment-lined loaf pan.

These blondies are easy to make, the dough is no-chill and bakes in just 14 minutes. Here's what you need to do:

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8x4 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cassava flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt.
3. Mix in the almond butter, maple syrup, molasses and vanilla using a spatula. Mix until the dough is well combined.
4. Chop the dark chocolate and marshmallows into small pieces (if necessary) and fold them into the dough.
5. Press the dough into the lined loaf pan. Optional: top with additional marshmallows and chocolate.

6. Place the pan in the oven and bake at 350 degrees for 14 minutes. You want the blondies to be slightly underbaked when you take them out, as they will continue to bake as they cool in the pan.
7. Remove the blondies from the oven and cool in the pan to room temperature. You can enjoy them warm or chilled, but they tend to cut best after chilling an hour in the fridge.

Storage

Keep these vegan s'mores blondies in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to one week. For longer storage, cut and place in a baggie in the freezer and enjoy within one month.
