These Ooey-Gooey Tahini S’mores Bars combine the nutty richness of tahini with the classic flavors of s’mores: gooey marshmallows and melty chocolate chips. With a chewy, slightly underbaked texture and a perfect balance of sweet and savory notes, these bars make a deliciously unique treat perfect for dessert or snack time.

  • Total Time: 40-45 minutes
  • Yield: 16 bars

Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup (154g) coconut sugar or packed brown sugar
  • ½ cup (115g) tahini
  • ¼ cup (57g) melted and cooled coconut oil (or substitute melted butter or vegan butter)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup (112g) packed fine blanched almond flour
  • ½ cup crushed graham crackers (from about 3 graham crackers)
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup (180g) chocolate chips or chocolate chunks, divided
  • 1 ½ cups (68g) mini marshmallows, divided

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8 inch baking pan with parchment paper and spray it with nonstick cooking spray to ensure the bars don’t stick during baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, coconut sugar, tahini, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and very well combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the almond flour, crushed graham crackers, baking soda, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until a thick, cookie dough-like batter forms.
  4. Incorporate Mix-ins: Fold in ¾ cup of the chocolate chips and 1 cup of the mini marshmallows evenly throughout the batter.
  5. Spread Batter in Pan: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and spread it evenly. If the batter is sticky or hard to spread, lightly coat a rubber spatula with nonstick spray and use it to spread the batter smoothly.
  6. Add Topping: Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of chocolate chips and ½ cup of mini marshmallows on top of the batter, gently pressing them into the surface.
  7. Bake: Place the pan in the oven and bake for 18-25 minutes. Bake until the edges are just slightly golden brown but the center remains gooey. Avoid overbaking to maintain a soft, chewy texture.
  8. Cool Before Cutting: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the bars to cool completely for at least 30 minutes before cutting into 16 squares for clean slices and optimal gooey texture.

Notes

  • Use parchment paper for easy removal and cleaner cuts.
  • Underbaking slightly is key to achieve the gooey texture these bars are known for.
  • You can substitute coconut oil with melted butter or vegan butter depending on your dietary preference.
  • Store bars in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
  • For a nut-free version, substitute almond flour with an equal amount of oat flour or all-purpose flour.
