Gluten-free S'mores Bars
Adapted from a recipe from www.blissfulbasil.com, these gluten-free S'mores Bars are reminiscent of summer nights around a campfire!
Ingredients
- 1½ cups coconut palm sugar
- ½ cup coconut oil
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 Tablespoons water
- 2¾ cups oat flour
- 2¼ teaspoons aluminum-free baking powder
- ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
- 7 ounces chocolate either chopped bar chocolate or chocolate chips. If you are looking for a dairy-free option, Enjoy Life brand is excellent.
- 1½ cups marshmallows Dandies brand is vegan
- 1 cup chopped nuts optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Cream the coconut oil with the coconut palm sugar. Add the vanilla extract and the water.
- Mix the oat flour with the baking powder and salt and gradually add it to the sugar mixture with the mixer on low. You can turn up the mixer as the flour is incorporated, but there's no need to overmix it. Just get it to come together. If it seems dry, add just a bit more water.
- Line a square baking dish with parchment paper and spread half of the dough on the bottom of the dish. Remove the dough and the parchment paper and set aside. Put another piece of parchment in the dish and spread the rest of the dough in the bottom.
- Evenly sprinkle the chocolate, then the marshmallows (and nuts, if using) over the dough. Carefully, turn the reserved dough upside down on top of the chocolate and marshmallows. Press down firmly, then peel the parchment paper away.
- Bake for 20 minutes. Cool at room temperature for several hours before cutting into squares.
- Bon Appétit!
