How to make Peanut Butter S’mores Protein Bars
These peanut butter s’mores protein bars are really easy to put together! Here’s what it takes:
- Whisk dry ingredients – flour, vanilla protein powder, peanut flour, peanut butter powder, baking soda.
- Whisk wet ingredients – applesauce, yogurt, milk and peanut butter.
- Add wet mix into dry mix and whisk to combine.
Don’t over-mix the batter!
Make sure you gently fold the dry mix into the wet to combine them.
If you over-mix it, the protein powder will make the healthy peanut butter smores squares tough, dense and gummy. - Taste the batter and see if you need some extra sweetener. I’d recommend using stevia powder to maintain the consistency of the batter and have low sugar peanut butter s’mores dessert recipe.
- Grease and line 8×8” baking pan with parchment paper to prevent bars from sticking to pan.
Arrange graham crackers on bottom of pan. - Pour half the batter into the baking pan and spread evenly.
Add dollops of marshmallow fluff on top, and remaining batter.
Smoothen our. - Bake 25 minutes at 350°F.
Remove when toothpick/tester comes out dry with only few crumbs. Bars will overcook and harden otherwise.

This is probably the 5th or 6th recipe that I’ve tried and once again I’m LOVING it! The crumb on all her cakes is always spot on while being macro friendly enough for me to have desserts while on a cut!! I did end up making only the cake (I love peanut butter) because of that whole cut thing but it didn’t matter because the cake is soooooo good…I can imagine how crazy good it’ll be when I make it with the fluff and grahams!
