To be completely honest, I'm not sure I can reasonably categorize these S'mores Overnight Chia Oats as a breakfast. Well, at least a weekday breakfast. But it can definitely qualify as a healthy-ish dessert! To break it down, we spread a nice layer of melted dark chocolate at the bottom of the jar so you can savor those last few bites. Next, we added a layer of chocolate chia pudding and a layer of marshmallow overnight oats. Finally, we finished with crushed graham crackers, more mini marshmallows, and more chocolate.
A few years ago, even before we started eating a plant-based diet, we switched out regular marshmallows for vegan ones by Dandies. We truly think they taste better. They're made will all-natural ingredients and don't contain any high fructose corn syrup, and of course they don't contain any gelatin. A win-win in our books. Give them a try in all of your s'mores related recipes this summer; we find them at Whole Foods and other local health food stores!
This is just one of the many s'mores-inspired recipes we have coming at ya this summer. We already posted the recipe on Instagram for this super easy vegan/gf s'mores dip (perfect for entertaining a crowd!). And we'll be posting a dark chocolate s'mores ice cream recipe next week over on Nosh and Nourish, where we contribute monthly recipes!
