This delicious vegan S’mores skillet cookie cake combines the classic flavors of s’mores with a cookie cake format, making it a perfect dessert for gatherings or cozy nights in. Here’s how to make it:
Ingredients
- Dry Ingredients:
- 1.5 cups gluten-free steel-cut oats
- 3/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger
- 1/8 tsp ground nutmeg
- Wet Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup melted coconut oil
- 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 1/2 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (or almond butter)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Flax Egg: Mix 2 tbsp ground flax meal with 6 tbsp water and let sit for 10 minutes to gel.
- Add-ins:
- 3/4 cup vegan chocolate chunks (divided: use 1/2 cup and reserve 1/4 cup)
- 1 cup mini vegan marshmallows (divided: use 1/2 cup and reserve another 1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (176°C). - Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a bowl, combine the oats, coconut flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg. - Mix Wet Ingredients:
In a separate large bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and peanut butter. Stir in the flax egg and vanilla extract. - Combine Mixtures:
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Gently fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chunks and 1/2 cup of marshmallows. - Prepare Skillet:
Lightly oil your cast iron skillet (or any baking dish) with coconut oil. Press the dough evenly into the skillet. - Top and Bake:
Top with the reserved 1/4 cup chocolate chunks and 1/2 cup marshmallows. Bake for about 20 minutes. For a toasted marshmallow effect, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. - Cool and Serve:
Let cool before slicing as it will be crumbly while warm. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with coconut whipped cream or vegan ice cream.
Tips
- Use vegan marshmallows like Dandies to ensure the recipe remains plant-based.
- This cookie cake is best enjoyed warm, as it enhances the gooeyness of the chocolate and marshmallows.
Enjoy this delightful twist on a classic treat that’s perfect for any occasion!
