Fudgy, gooey, and irresistible - The texture is everything: a buttery graham cracker crust, ultra-rich brownie center, and golden, toasted marshmallows on top.
No boxed mix needed - This is a from-scratch recipe that's still super easy to make. You'll taste the difference in every bite.
Tested, loved, and made often - I've made these more times than I can count. They're always a hit and one of my personal top 5 desserts!
Ready in under 30 minutes - No chill time, no complicated steps-just bake, layer, and enjoy.

Ingredients Needed

All ingredients for healthy s'mores brownies in small bowls with labels, including almond flour, cocoa powder, coconut sugar, maple syrup, chocolate chips, eggs, coconut oil, vanilla, salt, mini marshmallows, and graham crackers.

Almond flour: Make sure to use super-fine blanched almond flour for the best texture. I've tested with coarser almond meal, and the brownies turn out gritty-this makes all the difference in keeping them smooth and fudgy.
Cocoa powder: Stick with unsweetened cocoa powder, and go for a high-quality brand if you can (I love using Dutch-processed for a richer, deeper chocolate flavor). It really elevates the brownies beyond basic boxed-mix taste.
Coconut oil: Gives the brownies richness without needing butter. I recommend using refined coconut oil if you don't want any coconut flavor coming through. But both work!
Coconut sugar & maple syrup: This combo keeps the brownies moist while staying refined sugar-free. Coconut sugar adds structure, while maple syrup boosts gooeyness-using both gives the best texture.
Chocolate chips: I like folding in chocolate chips instead of just using cocoa powder-they melt into little pockets that make every bite extra indulgent. Use dairy-free if needed.
Graham crackers: A classic s'mores layer. For gluten-free, I've found the Pamela's brand hold up best and still get that toasted crunch on top.
Mini marshmallows: Toasting these after baking is key-don't try to bake them with the brownies or they'll melt and disappear. A quick broil or kitchen torch does the trick.

Substitutions & Variations

Make it dairy-free: Use dairy-free chocolate chips and marshmallows. Everything else in the recipe is naturally dairy-free.
Make it gluten-free: These smore's brownies are already gluten-free!
Make it nut-free: Almond flour is key for the fudgy texture, but if you need a nut-free option, you can use ¾ cup oat flour instead of 1 cup almond flour. Just know the texture will be more cake-like. You should also check out my flourless brownies recipe-just add the s'mores toppings on top!
Coconut sugar: Swap with light brown sugar 1:1 if you don't need the recipe to be refined sugar-free. The flavor will still be rich and delicious.
Maple syrup: Honey works in a pinch, but it'll make the brownies a little denser and slightly sweeter.
Chocolate chips: Use any kind you like-dark, semi-sweet, or chopped chocolate bars. Just make sure they're dairy-free if needed.
Mini marshmallows: You can use regular-sized marshmallows-just cut them in half or quarters so they melt and toast more evenly.

How to Make Healthy S'mores Brownies

Top Tips

Use fine almond flour. Trust me, this makes or breaks the texture. I've tested with almond meal before, and the brownies came out way too dense and gritty-stick with super fine blanched almond flour for that classic fudgy bite.
Pull them out before they look done. The center should still look a little soft-don't wait until they're fully set or they'll dry out as they cool. I've made that mistake and regretted it!
Broiler = full attention mode. I always turn the broiler to low and stand right there by the oven. These marshmallows go from golden to torched in seconds. (And yes, I've burned them more than once.)
Let them cool. I know it's hard, but slicing too soon will make a gooey mess. I usually set a timer for 20 minutes so I don't rush it.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best substitute for almond flour in this brownie recipe?

If you need a nut-free option, you can substitute ¾ cup of oat flour for every 1 cup of almond flour in this recipe. Just note that the texture will change-oat flour makes the brownies a bit more cake-like and less fudgy. I've tested it, and while still delicious, they won't have quite the same rich density as the almond flour version. Be sure to use finely ground oat flour (store-bought or homemade from quick oats blended in a food processor). You can also check out this flourless brownies recipe and add the s'mores topping on top!

Can I make healthy s'mores brownies ahead of time?

Yes! You can bake the brownies a day in advance. For the best results, wait to add the marshmallows, graham crackers, and extra chocolate until just before serving. Pop them under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to get that fresh, gooey s'mores topping.

Can I make these brownies dairy-free?

Absolutely. This recipe is already dairy-free-just make sure to use dairy-free chocolate chips and marshmallows.

Can I freeze s'mores brownies?

Yes! Freeze the baked (and cooled) brownies without the marshmallow topping. When ready to serve, thaw, add toppings, and broil to toast the marshmallows fresh.

What is the best way to toast marshmallows on brownies?

The best way to toast marshmallows on brownies is to use your oven's broiler on low. After baking, sprinkle mini marshmallows-or full-size ones cut in half-on top and return the pan to the oven for 1 to 2 minutes, just until golden brown. Watch closely-they toast quickly and can burn fast. I always stand right by the oven. If you have a kitchen torch, that works too and gives you more control for the perfect toasted top.

Storage Tips

Let the brownies cool completely, then store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the fridge for up to 5 days. If your kitchen runs warm, refrigeration is best to keep them fresh. I love reheating a piece for 10-15 seconds-it brings the gooey, melty texture right back.
