Quick answer
Combine Magic Spoon Oatmeal with melted marshmallows and a few pantry staples, then chill to set. No baking required.
Why use oatmeal instead of cereal
Oatmeal gives these treats a softer, creamier texture than standard cereal-based bars. The oats absorb moisture from the marshmallow binder, so the final snack holds together without becoming rock-hard. That makes them easier to bite into straight from the fridge.
Magic Spoon Oatmeal adds 15g of protein per serving, turning a simple dessert into a post-workout or mid-afternoon snack. The marshmallow sweetness pairs naturally with the Maple Brown Sugar and Apple Cinnamon flavors.
How to make no-bake marshmallow oatmeal treats
- Melt the marshmallows: Place 3 cups of mini marshmallows and 2 tablespoons of butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until fully melted and smooth. Do not overheat—marshmallows can scorch quickly. Stir each interval to distribute heat evenly.
- Mix in the oatmeal: Stir 2 cups of Magic Spoon Oatmeal (any flavor) into the melted marshmallow mixture. Work quickly while the mixture is still warm, but let it cool slightly first so the marshmallow doesn't seize. If the mixture stiffens before you finish stirring, microwave for 10 seconds to loosen it.
- Press and chill: Transfer the mixture into a parchment-lined 8x8-inch pan. Press it down firmly with a spatula (lightly greased to prevent sticking). Refrigerate for at least 1 hour until firm. Press evenly—uneven thickness causes some pieces to crumble while others are too dense.
- Cut and store: Lift the block out using the parchment edges. Cut into squares with a sharp knife. Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Let the block sit at room temperature for 2 minutes before cutting to avoid cracking.
