Ingredient Notes
These s’mores protein bites use simple ingredients, but a few small tips help create the best texture and flavor.
- Peanut butter - Natural peanut butter works best. If your peanut butter is very runny, you may need slightly more oats. You can also swap in almond butter.
- Protein powder - Vanilla protein powder keeps the classic s’mores flavor, but chocolate protein powder also works well for extra chocolatey goodness. Different brands absorb moisture differently, so texture may vary slightly.
- Old-fashioned oats - Rolled oats give the best chewy texture. Quick oats can work in a pinch, but the bites may be softer.
- Graham cracker crumbs - These add that classic s’mores flavor. You can make your own by crushing graham crackers in a ziplock bag or pulsing them in a food processor.
- Mini marshmallows - We like using the Jet-Puffed Bits because they distribute evenly throughout the bites.
- Coconut oil - Helps create a smoother mixture and keeps the bites soft when chilled.

Recipe Tips & Variations
- Warm gently - Microwave the peanut butter and coconut oil in short increments to avoid overheating.
- Adjust texture if needed - If the mixture feels too wet, add a few extra oats or graham cracker crumbs.
- Use a cookie scoop - A cookie scoop helps create evenly sized bites.
- Chill before serving - Refrigerating helps the bites firm up for the best texture.
- Make them extra chocolatey - Add additional chocolate chips or use chocolate protein powder.
- Try different mix-ins - Mini chocolate chunks or crushed graham crackers work well too.
