This s’mores protein overnight oats has a thick consistency and tastes absolutely delicious when topped with marshmallow cream, chocolate chips and crunchy graham crackers. This recipe has the perfect amount of protein and fiber to keep you full and help you reach a higher overall intake!
Did you know that most people are not meeting the recommended fiber intake? This is contributing to the rising chronic disease rates in the United States. Overnight oats are one of the easiest ways to prioritize both protein and fiber!
I have to confess. I got a little too many jars of marshmallow cream in my Kroger delivery and didn’t know what to do with them so I’ve been making recipes to try and use them up. So, if you need more ideas on how to use up the marshmallow cream try my S’mores Protein Pudding with Greek Yogurt or this tasty White Chocolate Marshmallow Cream Hot Cocoa.
Make your mornings a little easier by doubling this recipe (makes 2 servings) so you have an easy, grab-and-go breakfast all week long! Add banana slices to make this recipe a little more well-balanced or just eat as is!
Reasons to Try S’mores Overnight Oats
- High protein and fiber. A breakfast with a good balance of protein and fiber is the ultimate combo to keeping you full and satisfied while increasing overall intake of both nutrients.
- Easy meal prep. It doesn’t get much easier than overnight oats to have an easy, grab-and-go, no heat required breakfast.
- It tastes absolutely delicious with cozy, comforting flavors of a s’mores. This recipe layers hearty oats with the sweetness of marshmallows, hints of chocolate, and the subtle crunch of crushed graham crackers. It’s like bringing a campfire treat right to your table. This recipe is so good I often eat a small glass as an after dinner “dessert”!
- Improved gut microbiome. Yogurt has live, active cultures that can help increase the variety of good bacteria in the gut. The high fiber content provides food for that good bacteria which also contributes to a more diverse gut microbiome!

Step-By-Step Instructions
An easy breakfast meal prep recipe with decadent flavors for all the s’mores lovers. Of course, the toppings are not the healthiest but the high protein and fiber base will help with blood sugar stabilization. Sometimes a cozy breakfast is needed and, in my opinion, better than having no breakfast at all.
- Add all the base ingredients to a bowl.
- Whisk together until well-combined and no lumps are present.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for at least 6 hours.
- Distribute into two separate glasses or containers. Top with marshmallow cream (or whipped cream), mini marshmallows, mini chocolate chips, and crushed graham crackers when ready to eat. Enjoy!
Flavor Customizations
- Drizzled melted chocolate instead of adding chocolate chips.
- Incorporate vanilla extract or cinnamon to enhance the flavor.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of pumpkin puree for a seasonal fall twist.
- Top with caramelized bananas for extra sweetness.
Tips for Success
Layer for the best texture: To get that s’mores feel, add layers like you would with real s’mores—graham cracker crumbs, chocolate, and marshmallows on top.
After refrigeration, the overnight oats base will be very thick. If you prefer a thinner consistency, add a little more milk and stir to combine.
To make these oats dairy-free, sub with a higher protein plant-based yogurt (like Kite Hill Greek Style) and almond milk.
Use old-fashioned rolled oats. They absorb liquid well overnight and give the best texture. Quick oats may get too mushy, while steel-cut oats need longer soaking time.
Stick to 1/2 tablespoon maple syrup (at first). Since marshmallows and chocolate add sweetness, go easy on additional sugar or syrup to keep it balanced and add more after tasting (if needed).
