This s’mores French toast is warm, chocolatey, and just gooey enough to feel like a treat. It has the cozy flavor of a campfire s’more, but it’s made with a high-protein French toast base that works for breakfast, dessert, or a sweet snack.
Soft pieces of cinnamon French toast are topped with mini chocolate chips, marshmallows, and optional graham cracker crumbs for that classic s’mores flavor.
The chocolate softens into the warm toast, the marshmallows get melty, and every bite feels like dessert for breakfast.
It’s also easy to make two ways. Use the stovetop method when you want golden, lightly crisp French toast, or make the microwave version when you want something quick, soft, and spoonable.

Why You’ll Love This S’mores French Toast
This recipe is perfect when you want a sweet breakfast without making a full batch of French toast. It has enough chocolate and marshmallow flavor to feel fun, but the egg whites help add protein and make it more filling than a typical dessert.
The cinnamon gives the bread a warm, cozy flavor, while the chocolate chips and marshmallows turn it into a simple s’mores-inspired breakfast bowl, similar to the high-protein cinnamon roll bake for sweet cravings.
Add a spoonful of yogurt, whipped coconut cream, or cottage cheese on top to make it creamier and more satisfying.
It’s a great option for busy mornings, weekend brunch, after-dinner cravings, or anytime you want something sweet but still easy, much like a healthy brownie in a mug for those late-night fixes.
Stovetop or Microwave Method
The stovetop version gives you the most classic French toast texture. The bread gets lightly golden on the outside while staying soft in the center. This method is best when you want the flavor and texture of traditional French toast with a fun s’mores topping.
The microwave version is faster and softer, almost like a warm French toast bowl. Cut the bread into small pieces before soaking, cook it in a mug or bowl, then add the marshmallows and chocolate chips while it’s still warm.
Both methods work well, so it really depends on your mood. Stovetop is best for crisp edges, while the microwave method is best when you want a quick 5-minute sweet breakfast.

Easy Ways to Customize It
This chocolate French toast is easy to adjust based on what you have on hand.
Use your favorite bread, including whole grain, low-carb, gluten-free, or dairy-free bread if needed. Mini chocolate chips work best because they soften quickly, but chopped chocolate can also be used.
For a lower-sugar version, use sugar-free chocolate chips or sugar-free marshmallows. Just keep in mind that some sugar-free marshmallows may not melt as smoothly.
For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free milk, dairy-free chocolate chips, and whipped coconut cream or dairy-free yogurt for topping.
For a vegan option, replace the egg whites with a flax mixture and use vegan marshmallows and dairy-free chocolate chips.
Best Toppings for S’mores French Toast
The toppings are what make this feel like s’mores. Mini marshmallows and chocolate chips are the must-haves, but the graham cracker crumbs add that classic campfire flavor.
You can also top it with:
Greek yogurt for extra protein
Cottage cheese for a creamy, filling option
Whipped coconut cream for a dessert-like finish
Crushed nuts for crunch
Extra cinnamon for warmth
Fresh berries if you want something lighter on the side
Add the toppings while the French toast is still warm so the chocolate and marshmallows soften slightly.
Make-Ahead & Meal Prep Tips
This high-protein French toast tastes best fresh, especially once the chocolate and marshmallows are added. But you can still prep parts of it ahead to make breakfast quicker.
Cut the bread into pieces and mix the egg white mixture ahead of time, then store them separately in the refrigerator. When you’re ready to eat, soak the bread and cook it using either the stovetop or microwave method.
If you have leftovers, store the cooked French toast pieces in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat gently, then add fresh chocolate chips, marshmallows, and graham cracker crumbs right before serving.
For freezing, freeze only the cooked French toast pieces without toppings. Reheat them first, then add the s’mores toppings after warming.
A Dessert That Doubles as Breakfast
This high-protein s’mores French toast is the kind of recipe that makes breakfast feel a little more fun.
It’s soft, warm, chocolatey, and easy to make, with just enough marshmallow and graham cracker flavor to satisfy a sweet craving, similar to the gooey and gorgeous s’mores tart dessert recipe.
Serve it for breakfast, brunch, a quick dessert, or a cozy snack when you want something simple but special.
