Ready to make these amazing Gluten-Free S’mores Brownies? Follow these simple steps:
- Prep the Oven and Pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175°C) and line an 8×8 inch pan with parchment paper. This will make it super easy to remove the brownies later.
- Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the melted coconut oil, molasses, and non-dairy milk. Whisk until well combined.
- Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, cacao, arrowroot flour, nutmeg, and baking soda.
- Combine Everything: Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Layer in the Pan: Press about ⅔ of the brownie dough into the prepared pan. Evenly sprinkle the chocolate chips over the top.
- Add Marshmallows: Follow with an even layer of marshmallows.
- Crumble the Dough: Crumble the remaining brownie dough over the marshmallows.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 16 minutes.
- Broil (Optional): If you want those perfectly toasted marshmallows, broil for a minute or two, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
- Cool and Enjoy: Let the brownies cool completely before slicing and serving. This will allow the brownies to set up for cleaner cuts.
