Healthy S’mores
Ingredients
Gluten-Free Graham Crackers
- 1 1/4 cups almond flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 2 Tablespoons tapioca starch
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (melted)
- 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- pinch of salt
Healthy Marshmallows + Chocolate
- 1 cup water (divided)
- 3 Tablespoons gelatin (beef or plant-based for a vegan option)
- 1 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch of salt
- 12 squares dark chocolate (or vegan chocolate)
Instructions
Make the Graham Crackers
-
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
-
In a bowl, mix together the almond flour, coconut flour, tapioca starch, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
-
In another bowl, whisk together melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
-
Pour into the dry ingredients and combine to form a dough.
-
Between two pieces of parchment paper, roll out the dough to about 1/4 inch thickness.
-
Cut into about 24 rectangles or squares and prick each piece with a fork to create the classic graham cracker appearance.
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden. Allow to cool completely.
Make the Marshmallows
-
In a mixing bowl, sprinkle gelatin over 1/2 cup of water. Let it bloom.
-
In a saucepan, combine the remaining 1/2 cup of water and honey.
-
Bring to a boil and let simmer until it reaches 240 degrees F on a candy thermometer.
-
Slowly pour the syrup into the bloomed gelatin while mixing on low.
-
Once combined, increase to high speed and whip until it becomes thick and fluffy, about 10-15 minutes.
-
Add vanilla and salt in the last few minutes.
-
Spread the mixture into a parchment-lined pan and let set for at least 4 hours or overnight. Then, cut into 12 squares.
Assemble the S’mores
-
Roast each marshmallow over a stove flame or briefly under a broiler.
-
Sandwich the marshmallow and a piece of dairy-free chocolate between two graham cracker pieces.
