Ingredients

- 2 cups White granulated sugar
- 3 Large eggs
- 1 Egg yolk
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 2 tsp Pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup Oil (canola or vegetable)
- 3/4 cup All-purpose flour

- 1 1/2 TBSP Cornstarch
- 1/2 tsp Salt
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Marshmallow creme
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 and spray it again for easy removal.
Step 2: Mix Dry Ingredients
In a medium bowl, sift together the flour, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt. Set this mixture aside for later use.
Step 3: Combine Wet Ingredients
Using a mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the sugar, eggs, and egg yolk on high speed for about five minutes until it becomes pale in color. While mixing, melt the butter in the microwave and allow it to cool slightly.
Step 4: Incorporate Everything Together
Add the oil, melted butter, and vanilla extract into the egg mixture. Mix on low speed until combined. Gradually add the dry ingredients into this mixture while mixing on low until just combined. Fold in the semi-sweet chocolate chips using a rubber spatula.
Step 5: Prepare for Baking
Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan. Melt the marshmallow fluff in the microwave for 20–30 seconds until soft. Use a teaspoon to dollop the melted marshmallow fluff on top of the brownie batter. Lightly swirl it through with a butter knife to create a marbled effect.
Step 6: Bake Your Brownies
Bake in your preheated oven for 45–55 minutes. To check if they’re done, insert a toothpick into the center; it should come out slightly wet but not with raw batter. If necessary, bake for an additional five minutes.
Step 7: Cool Down Before Serving
Allow your brownies to cool completely on a cooling rack before cutting them into squares and serving them up!

Common Mistakes to Avoid

- Ignoring the cooling time – Allow your brownies to cool completely before cutting. This helps them set properly and makes for cleaner slices.
