Ingredients

  • 1 cup Unsalted Butter
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar
  • 4 Large Eggs
  • 2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 cup Unsweetened Cocoa Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1 cup Mini Marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with parchment paper liners or lightly grease each cup with non-stick spray to ensure the brownies come out easily.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt 1 cup of unsalted butter over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of granulated sugar until well combined. Let this mixture cool slightly.
  • Beat in 4 large eggs, one at a time, making sure each is fully incorporated before adding the next. Stir in 2 teaspoons of vanilla extract for a fragrant and rich flavor base.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. This ensures even distribution and prevents lumps.
  • Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture using a spatula until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be thick and fudgy.
  • Gently fold in 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips and 1 cup mini marshmallows, reserving a few marshmallows for topping.
  • Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Top each cup with a few mini marshmallows for that irresistible gooey finish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until the edges are set but the centers remain soft and slightly underbaked for maximum gooeyness.
  • Allow the brownie cups to cool in the pan for 10 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Serve warm for the best gooey experience, or at room temperature if preferred.
