Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened (unsalted)
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Topping

  • 2 cups mini marshmallows

Frosting

  • 1/2 cup melted butter
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup evaporated milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups powdered sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat and prepare pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 9×13-inch pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of brownies after baking.
  2. Mix cocoa and oil: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil and cocoa powder until the mixture is smooth and well combined, forming the base for the brownie batter.
  3. Add butter and sugar: Add the softened butter to the cocoa mixture and blend until creamy, then incorporate the granulated sugar to add sweetness and help form a crust during baking.
  4. Incorporate eggs and vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition, and then stir in the vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate flavor.
  5. Combine dry ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, being careful not to overmix to maintain the brownies’ tender texture.
  6. Bake the brownies: Pour the batter into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until set but still moist inside.
  7. Add marshmallow topping: Immediately sprinkle the mini marshmallows evenly on top of the warm brownies, then return to the oven for 2 to 3 more minutes until the marshmallows soften and slightly melt.
  8. Cool the brownies: Remove the pan from the oven and allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set the layers before frosting.
  9. Prepare frosting: In a bowl, mix together the melted butter, cocoa powder, evaporated milk, and 2 cups of powdered sugar until smooth; gradually add the remaining powdered sugar until you reach your desired frosting consistency.
  10. Frost and serve: Spread the creamy frosting evenly over the cooled brownies, cut into squares, and serve immediately for a luscious treat.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter once flour is added to avoid dense brownies.
  • Use unsalted butter to control the saltiness in the recipe.
  • Allow brownies to cool completely before frosting to prevent melting the frosting.
  • You can substitute mini marshmallows with regular marshmallows cut into smaller pieces if needed.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for longer freshness.
