Equipment
- 8x8-inch baking pan
- Mixing bowls (medium and small)
- Whisk and spatula
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Parchment paper (optional)
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup mini marshmallows plus extra for topping, optional
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line an 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together melted butter, sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Sift in cocoa powder, flour, salt, and baking powder. Gently fold until combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Fold in Marshmallows: Gently fold in 1 cup of mini marshmallows and chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Bake: Pour batter into prepared pan and spread evenly. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out mostly clean (marshmallows may slightly caramelize).
- Optional Topping: Sprinkle extra marshmallows on top in the last 5 minutes of baking and broil for 1–2 minutes to toast them lightly. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Cool and Serve: Allow brownies to cool in the pan for at least 10 minutes before cutting into squares. Serve warm or at room temperature.
