S'Mores Muffins (Vegan, Nut-Free) PDF Print E-mail

This recipe was created by Veggiegirl, and is featured in Go Dairy Free: The Guide and Cookbook for Milk Allergies, Lactose Intolerance, and Casein-Free Living:

"One treat that I have not enjoyed in years is the classic campfire S'mores - you take a block of chocolate and a fire-roasted marshmallow, and sandwich them in between two graham crackers. I thought that I would never be able to enjoy this treat again (since marshmallows are definitely not vegan, and it's quite difficult to find vegan graham crackers); however, thanks to the Vegan Essentials online store, I was able to order a package of Sweet & Sara vegan marshmallows and Health Valley vegan graham crackers - how fun!! After these "I-can't-believe-they're-vegan" type of goodies arrived in the mail, I was more than ready to see how this new-muffin-idea of mine would turn out:

After just one bite of this muffin, all I could say is, "WOW!!" - and my family wholeheartedly agrees. When you pull apart the muffin, a long ooey-gooey string of fluffy marshmallow attempts to keep each half of the muffin together; and the graham cracker pieces really work well in this muffin, since they are also a crucial element to the classic S'mores. And the carob? Well, I never had carob in S'mores way back years ago, when I used to eat S'mores around a campfire; but as an avid carob-eater, I can attest that it works sensationally in s'mores (at least, in these s'mores muffins)!!"

S'Mores Muffins

  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup carob powder [may sub cocoa powder]
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 5 Tablespoons applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup plain or vanilla non-dairy-milk (such as soymilk, ricemilk, oatmilk, etc. – I use oatmilk)
  • 1/4 cup carob chips
  • 1/4 graham crackers, broken into small pieces
  • 1/4 cup marshmallows, chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F.

In a large bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, carob powder and baking soda, and mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine applesauce, vanilla, nondairy-milk, carob chips, graham cracker pieces and marshmallows, mixing well.

Combine wet and dry ingredients; do not overmix.

Bake for 15-18 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle of muffins comes out clean.

Makes 10-12 muffins.

My son has an allergy to peanuts and tree nuts and I can't seem to find carob powder or chips that are not produced on equipment with peanuts and tree nuts. Does anyone know of a brand I can get since he is also allergic to peanuts/tree nuts? I would love to use carob in place of chocolate for cookies, cakes, etc. but still have had no luck finding a "safe" one for him.

Since most carob chips probably use a carob powder that is processed on shared equipment as nuts, I can\'t really say on that one. The sunspire vegan ones I have are made on shared equipment with milk, but not nuts (but nuts are in the factory). 
 
I searched around for carob that wouldn\'t have cross-contamination issues, but it is hard to find. however, you can buy whole carob pods, and I am guessing you can grind it in a spice grinder for quick carob powder. Just search on carob pods or buy carob pods and a few options should come up. 
 
The Chatfields carob powder I have is of course made without nuts, but it is processed on shared equipment. You may want to call them to ask about cleaning processes between batches.
