What are Vegan S'mores Overnight Oats?

Vegan S'mores Overnight Oats transform a classic campfire treat into a wholesome, convenient breakfast.

Ingredients

1/2 cup oats (rolled oats work best for texture)
3/4 cup plant milk (almond, soy, or oat milk all work well)
1 tbsp chia seeds (for thickening)
1-2 tbsp maple syrup or other liquid sweetener (adjust to taste)
1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp vegan chocolate chips, plus more for topping
2-3 vegan graham cracker squares, crushed, plus more for topping
4-5 vegan marshmallows

Equipment

Mason jar or small container with a lid
Measuring cups and spoons

Instructions

In your mason jar or container, combine the oats, plant milk, chia seeds, maple syrup, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Stir well until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed and there are no lumps of cocoa powder.
Add half of the vegan chocolate chips and half of the crushed graham crackers to the mixture and stir gently.
Top the mixture with the remaining chocolate chips, crushed graham crackers, and vegan marshmallows.
Cover the jar tightly with a lid and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the oats to soften and the flavors to meld. The marshmallows will soften and become gooey.
In the morning, give it a quick stir if desired, and enjoy your delicious vegan s'mores overnight oats!

Variations & Adaptations

Gluten-Free Option: Ensure you use certified gluten-free oats and gluten-free graham crackers to make this recipe celiac-friendly.
Protein Boost: Stir in a scoop of your favorite vegan protein powder (e.g., vanilla or chocolate flavored) with the dry ingredients for an extra boost. You might need to add a splash more plant milk.
Nut-Free: If you have a nut allergy, opt for oat milk or soy milk instead of almond milk, and ensure your graham crackers are nut-free.
Extra Indulgence: Add a dollop of vegan whipped cream or a drizzle of melted chocolate right before serving.
Different Chocolate: Experiment with white vegan chocolate chips, or chop up a vegan chocolate bar for chunks.
Minty S'mores: Add a drop of food-grade peppermint extract for a mint chocolate s'mores twist.

Tips for Perfect S'mores Overnight Oats

The Right Oats: Rolled oats (old-fashioned oats) are ideal for overnight oats as they absorb liquid well and maintain a good texture without becoming mushy. Instant oats can work but may result in a softer consistency.
Gooey Marshmallows: For the best "gooey" effect, ensure your marshmallows are submerged or at least touching the wet oat mixture. Over time in the fridge, they will naturally absorb moisture and become soft.
Sweetener Adjustment: Start with 1 tablespoon of maple syrup and taste the mixture before adding more. Sweetness can be adjusted to your preference.
Meal Prep Efficiency: Make a few jars at once for quick breakfasts throughout the week. They store well in the fridge for up to 3-4 days.
