Chocolatey, gooey, and packed with campfire nostalgia, these s’mores brownie batter overnight oats combine rich cocoa, crushed graham crackers, and pillowy marshmallows with creamy oats for an easy make-ahead breakfast that tastes like dessert.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (100g)
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, e.g., almond, oat, soy, or coconut; 240ml)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain, vanilla, or chocolate; 120g)
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder (12g, Dutch-process preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey (30ml)
  • 1 tablespoon chia seeds (optional, 10g)
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract (5ml)
  • Pinch of salt
  • 2 tablespoons mini chocolate chips (30g)
  • 2 sheets graham crackers, crushed (about 30g)
  • 1/4 cup mini marshmallows (15g)

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, add rolled oats, cocoa powder, chia seeds (if using), salt, and mini chocolate chips. Stir to combine and break up any cocoa clumps.
  2. In a separate bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together milk, Greek yogurt, maple syrup or honey, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Pour the wet mixture over the dry oat mixture. Stir thoroughly until no dry pockets remain.
  4. Gently fold in crushed graham crackers and mini marshmallows. Reserve some graham pieces for topping if desired.
  5. Spoon the mixture into two 12oz mason jars or airtight containers, ensuring oats are submerged in liquid. Top with extra chocolate chips, graham cracker crumbs, and marshmallows if desired.
  6. Seal jars and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. For a quicker option, chill for a minimum of 3-4 hours.
  7. In the morning, stir the oats. Add a splash of milk if too thick, or microwave for 30-40 seconds if you prefer them warm.
  8. Top with additional graham crackers, chocolate chips, and marshmallows before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

For crunchier graham crackers, add them just before serving. Use Dutch-process cocoa for richer chocolate flavor. Adjust sweetness to taste. For gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats and graham crackers. For vegan, use plant-based milk, coconut yogurt, and vegan marshmallows and chocolate chips. Oats can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
