No Bake S’mores Protein Cookies
So not only am I converting my favourite desserts into healthy oatmeal puddings, I seem to be doing them in snack form too. I can live with that. I also seem to have taken the No Bake Boy title to heart– and whipped out more in this genre.
After my success with using kettle corn in my no bake Kettle Corn Granola Bars, I wondered what else could be whipped into a flour like consistency and add the necessary flavour to other snacks.
I love quest bars because not only do they have a solid dose of fiber and protein, but they actually taste like what they claim- and you know how I feel about false advertising. That is why with these cookies, they had to taste like an actual S’mores- minus the burnt tongue and sticky fingers….and a campfire.
You could be raising your eyes and thinking ‘How can they be healthy? They have marshmallows and chocolate chips in them!’. Well, build a campfire and jump into it bridge and get over it. These cookies tick the boxes in terms of nourishing carbohydrates from the oats, protein from the protein powder and a dose of those healthy fats thanks to the nut butter. Why not add something fun too? Thank you marshmallows and chocolate chips.
High in protein? Yep. High in fiber? Yep. Healthy fats and nourishing carbohydrates? Yep. Some fun add ins? You bet. You could probably call these a green vegetable and count it as part of your 5 a day…
Just kidding, we’re not a bunch of twats here. Just make them, eat them and dance around a (mock) campfire.

No Bake S'mores Protein Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup gluten free rolled oats
- 1/2 cup gluten free oat bran
- 1/2 cup gluten free graham cracker crumbs graham crackers broken to mostly fine pieces
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoon granulated sweetener of choice adjust to taste
- 1 cup vanilla or neutral tasting protein powder
- 1 cup nut butter of choice I used homemade cashew butter
- 1/4 cup brown rice syrup
- 1/4 cup + milk of choice
- 1/4 cup mini marshmallows*
- 1/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, oat bran, graham cracker crumbs, protein powder, natvia sweetener and salt. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, combine the nut butter of choice and brown rice syrup and microwave for 2 minutes, or until melted.
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and mix until well combined. Add the milk then slowly incorporate the mini marshmallows, as they will start to melt.
- Form into palm sized cookies and lay on a baking sheet or plate. Evenly top each cookie with chocolate chips and freeze for an hour or refrigerate for 4 hours/overnight.
Notes
Avoid using a chocolate or cinnamon flavoured protein powder as it detracts from the s'mores taste.
Similarly, try to stick to a mild tasting nut butter like cashew or almond.
You can sub the brown rice syrup for honey (if not strictly vegan) or maple syrup, but add an extra 2 tablespoons.
Depending on the protein powder of choice, you may need more milk

“We’re not a bunch of twats” ahahahah ohhh how I’ve missed you! I’ve been craving s’mores like a crazy person but have been lacking a fire to make them over, so this is pretty much perfect. 🙂
That is a perfectly acceptable excuse to not have made s’mores…until this recipe came into play. Make it or receive twat status.
Oh man, s’mores are the BEST. Growing up, every time we went down to the beach we had to end the day with s’mores.
That is why I should have been born American. #truth
No bakes=perfect for summer. Also, YES to marshmallows and choc chips–these cookies would be naked without them.
These cookies would be lies without them! Glad you think the no bake is good..more to come!
Don’t think I will have to stoke the fire in my fire pit to make these smores cookies! Deeelicious sounding!
Thank you, shashi!
These look fabulous. I’ve been getting into eating more protein…thank you for sharing!
No worries, Hollie! Sneak some salmon in this.
Vishnu and I love making open faced s’mores in the oven. I know – not the same as a campfire s’more but just as delicious! Love the idea of turning a classic into a cookie!
That is genius…so much smarter than trying it over the stove top lol!
I don’t think I’ve ever had s’mores in my life. I know I’m missing out though.
Giselle! That needs to be rectified, stat!
Oh my!!! These sound fabulous! S’mores are one of my favorite things and I love that they’re in cookie form and even better, they’re no bake! Delicious!
I was hoping you’d like them 😀
How about I just dance wildly around the campfire? I’m a great dancer… After a few drinks mind you.
I love that you captured the flavor of s’mores in a no bake cookie. You’re a genius or a mad scientist or maybe a little of both. It’s ok; you’re secret is safe with me.
I think that is a lie. You booty shake better than J-Lo and Miley made into a hybrid.
I will take genius, please.
you are the burnt marshmellow to my s’more. Can I get s’more of that?!
Ohhh you punny gurl.
Chocolate is good for you – think of the antioxidants!
I can feel them dancing out of my skin.
I have made s’mores in the past, but I haven’t yet this summer….but I’m going to a beach house with friends at the end of the month, so it’ll for sure happen then. As for veggies…I try to get in a serving or two with lunch and dinner.
If it doesn’t happen I will pray you fall in the fire. Just kidding, but……. wait am I?
Omg, yes. I’ll take this along with a side of kangaroo when I finally make it to Australia!
NO! Haha, you will only eat Australian food here, and that means Tim Tams and Kangaroo!
Okay. I seriously need s’mores in my life. I’ve been seeing so many different s’more recipes, I think it’s a sign that I need to go ahead and make some.
That would most definitely be a sign haha!
Okkk I want these in my mouth right this instant. I love that they have graham cracker crumbs in them… also love that they actually have marshmallows and choc chips in them, but then again I can always trust you when it comes to combatting the false advertising crazies (duh).
Hahahaha I should have just added oats and splenda and said ‘close your eyes and pretend it’s a s’mores cookie’
