How to Make Marshmallow Brownies

Step 1: Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 325°F. Prepare a 9×9-inch baking pan by spraying it with nonstick spray. Line the bottom and two sides of the pan with parchment paper, then spray again for easy removal later.

Step 2: Prepare the Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, sift together:
3/4 cup All-purpose flour
1 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 TBSP Cornstarch

Add in:
1/2 tsp Salt

Set aside once mixed.

Step 3: Mix Sugar and Eggs

Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat together:
2 cups White granulated sugar
3 Large eggs
1 Egg yolk

Continue mixing on high speed for about 5 minutes until pale in color. While it mixes, melt your butter in the microwave and let it cool slightly.

Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients

Add to the egg mixture:
1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
1/2 cup Oil (canola or vegetable)
2 tsp Pure vanilla extract

Mix on low speed until combined.

Step 5: Combine Dry Ingredients

Gradually add in the dry ingredients from Step 2. Mix on low speed until just combined. Gently fold in:
1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Step 6: Add Marshmallow Fluff

Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan. In a separate bowl, melt:
1 cup Marshmallow creme

Microwave for about 20-30 seconds until soft. Use a teaspoon to dollop the melted marshmallow fluff over the brownie batter. Lightly swirl using a butter knife for that beautiful marbled effect.

Step 7: Bake

Bake your brownies for about 45–55 minutes. They are done when you can insert a toothpick and it comes out slightly wet but not covered in batter. If necessary, extend baking time by an additional 5 minutes if more batter sticks to the toothpick.

Step 8: Cool

Once baked, allow your brownies to cool completely on a cooling rack before cutting them into squares and serving them up!

Common Mistakes to Avoid
