How to Make Marshmallow Brownies
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat the oven to 325°F. Spray a 9X9-inch baking pan with nonstick spray. Line the bottom and two sides of the pan with parchment paper, then spray again.
Step 2: Prepare Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
Step 3: Mix Sugar and Eggs
Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat together the sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on high speed for about 5 minutes until it turns pale in color. While mixing, melt the butter in the microwave and let it cool slightly.
Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients
Add the oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture. Mix on low speed until combined. Gradually add in the dry ingredients while mixing on low until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
Step 5: Add Marshmallow Fluff
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared pan. Melt the marshmallow fluff in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until it’s easy to stir. Using a teaspoon, dollop small amounts of marshmallow fluff on top of the brownie batter. Lightly swirl it using a butter knife.
Step 6: Bake Your Brownies
Bake in your preheated oven for 45-55 minutes. To check if they are done, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out slightly wet but not covered in batter. If necessary, bake for an additional 5 minutes.
Step 7: Cool and Serve
Allow your brownies to cool completely on a cooling rack before cutting them into squares and serving. Enjoy your deliciously fudgy Marshmallow Brownies!

How to Perfect Marshmallow Brownies
Perfecting marshmallow brownies involves careful attention to detail. Here are some tips to ensure your brownies turn out deliciously every time.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Start with high-quality cocoa powder and chocolate chips for richer flavor.
- Don’t Overbake: Keep an eye on baking time; brownies should be slightly underbaked for that gooey texture.
- Let Cool Completely: Allow the brownies to cool completely before cutting them. This helps them set and makes slicing easier.
- Swirl Carefully: When swirling marshmallow fluff, do it lightly so it creates beautiful streaks without mixing too much into the batter.
- Store Properly: Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain their fudgy texture.

- Coffee or Espresso: A hot cup of coffee or espresso pairs beautifully and enhances the chocolate notes.
- Milkshakes: Chocolate or vanilla milkshakes create a fun and indulgent accompaniment to your brownies.
- Nutty Granola Bars: These provide a crunchy texture that contrasts nicely with soft brownies while remaining sweet.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
When making marshmallow brownies, it’s easy to overlook some key steps. Here are common mistakes and tips to avoid them.
-
Ignoring the cooling time: Letting your brownies cool completely before cutting is crucial. This helps them set properly and makes cutting easier.
-
Not measuring accurately: Baking relies on precise measurements. Use a kitchen scale for dry ingredients and measure liquids in a liquid measuring cup for the best results.
-
Overmixing the batter: Mixing too much can lead to tough brownies. Combine ingredients until just mixed to maintain a fudgy texture.
-
Skipping the parchment paper: Lining your pan with parchment paper ensures easy removal of brownies. This prevents sticking and helps keep their shape.
-
Not checking doneness: Relying solely on baking time can be misleading. Check with a toothpick; it should come out slightly wet for perfect marshmallow brownies.
