Ingredients You’ll Need

Before we begin, make sure you have everything on hand. This recipe uses simple pantry staples and a few fun ingredients to capture the iconic s’mores flavor.

Dry Ingredients

2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup granulated sugar
1 tbsp baking powder
½ tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

1 large egg
1 cup milk
⅓ cup vegetable or canola oil
½ tsp vanilla extract

S’mores Mix-ins

1 cup crushed graham crackers
1 cup mini marshmallows
2 Hershey’s chocolate bars, broken into chunks

Topping

1 cup graham cracker streusel (mix of crushed graham crackers, brown sugar, and melted butter)
1 cup marshmallow fluff (spread on top after cooling)
½ cup mini marshmallows, toasted
1 Hershey’s chocolate bar, broken and gently pressed onto marshmallows

Step 1: Preparing Your Ingredients and Equipment

Before mixing your batter, it’s helpful to prep your ingredients and your baking pan.

Preheat and Prep Your Pan

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan well or line it with parchment paper to prevent sticking. This makes removing the bread easier after baking.

Crush Graham Crackers

For the 1 cup crushed graham crackers, you can place whole crackers in a zip-top bag and crush them with a rolling pin, or pulse them briefly in a food processor. Set these aside, as you’ll need them in the batter and for the streusel topping.

Break Chocolate Bars

Break the Hershey’s bars into small, bite-sized pieces. You’ll fold some into the batter and use some to top the bread later, so set them aside in two portions.

Step 2: Making the Batter

Now for the fun part — mixing the ingredients that will create our delicious quick bread.

Combine Dry Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. This ensures your dry ingredients are evenly distributed and helps the bread rise properly.

Mix Wet Ingredients

In a separate bowl, beat the egg lightly. Add the milk, oil, and vanilla extract, whisking until everything is smooth and combined.

Combine Wet and Dry

Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon. Mix just until the flour disappears — overmixing can make the bread dense and tough.

Step 3: Add the S’mores Mix-ins

Gently fold in the crushed graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and half of the broken Hershey’s chocolate pieces. Be careful not to over-stir; you want these mix-ins evenly distributed, but the batter should stay light.

Step 4: Prepare and Add the Graham Cracker Streusel Topping

Making the Streusel

For the streusel, mix ½ cup crushed graham crackers with ¼ cup brown sugar and 2 tablespoons melted butter until crumbly. This buttery topping will add a delightful crunch and extra sweetness.

Adding the Streusel

Once your batter is in the loaf pan, sprinkle the streusel evenly over the top. This creates a beautiful, crunchy crust once baked.

Step 5: Bake the Bread

Place your loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 50 to 60 minutes. To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center. It should come out mostly clean—small melted chocolate streaks are okay, but no wet batter.

Tips for Baking

If the streusel topping begins to brown too quickly, tent the bread loosely with foil to prevent burning.
Let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

Step 6: Adding the Marshmallow Fluff and Final Toppings

Spread Marshmallow Fluff

After the bread is completely cooled, spread a generous layer of marshmallow fluff over the top. This adds a creamy, sweet finish that melts perfectly with the warm bread beneath.

Toast Mini Marshmallows

Toast the mini marshmallows under your broiler or with a kitchen torch until golden brown. Be careful—they toast quickly! I find the kitchen torch works best and prevents the marshmallow fluff from further melting down the sides.

Add Marshmallows and Chocolate Pieces

Sprinkle the toasted marshmallows evenly over the fluff. Immediately press the remaining broken Hershey’s chocolate pieces gently into the marshmallows. The warmth will slightly melt the chocolate, helping it stick.

Serving Suggestions

Slice your S’mores Quick Bread and serve it as a special breakfast treat, afternoon snack, or dessert. It pairs wonderfully with coffee, milk, or hot chocolate. Leftovers can be stored wrapped tightly at room temperature for 2-3 days or refrigerated for up to a week.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Can I make this bread gluten-free?

Yes! Substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free baking blend, and make sure your baking powder is gluten-free as well. The texture might be slightly different, but still delicious.
