A couple of weeks ago, I made Graham Crackers that were not only delicious, but vegan, oat-free, gluten-free, and refined sugar-free. We ate them up! Then, my kids asked for S’mores, and we had to make more. So we decided to make a gluten-free and vegan S’mores Cake; really the “cake” is just baked s’mores. I purchased Dandies at Fresh Thyme; they are vegan with no corn syrup or gelatin. They do have cane sugar though, so I minimized the sugar in the rest of recipe. I believe in a 90% healthy philosophy! I try to be as healthy as possible, and then I can indulge in desserts.
I used Lily’s Premium Baking Bars that are sweetened with stevia. It was the perfect balance with the sweet Dandies.
Layer the Graham Crackers in a 9 X 13 baking pan.
Put 1 1/2 bags of Dandies on their side.
Layer with the Lily’s Premium Baking Bars.
Top with a layer of Graham Crackers.
Slice Dandies in half.
Place them on top of the Graham Crackers.
Smash a bar of Lily’s Premium Baking Bar.
Sprinkle the pieces on top of the Dandies.
Bake.

S'mores Cake (Gluten-free & Vegan)
This gluten-free, oat-free, and vegan s'mores cake is a pan of yummy baked s'mores. It's an easy way to enjoy gooey chocolate s'mores without a bonfire.
Tips: This s’mores cake may be made with any graham crackers, chocolate bars, or marshmallows. Personally, I use the (1) Lily’s Baking Bars to reduce sugar, (2) the Dandies because they are vegan and healthier, and (3) my graham cracker recipe because of my daughter’s oat and wheat intolerance. Also, leftovers are best warmed for 30 seconds in a microwave before serving.
