Ingredients

Scale

Brownie Batter

  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup oil
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 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. Grease a 9×13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Cocoa and Oil: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil and 1 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder until smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Butter and Sugar: Incorporate the softened butter into the cocoa mixture, blending until creamy. Stir in the granulated sugar until combined.
  4. Incorporate Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing thoroughly after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract to enhance flavor.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, taking care not to overmix to keep the brownies tender.
  6. Bake Batter: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes until a toothpick inserted near the center comes out with moist crumbs.
  7. Add Marshmallows: Remove the baked brownies from the oven and quickly sprinkle 2 cups of mini marshmallows evenly over the top. Return to the oven for 2-3 minutes to melt the marshmallows slightly.
  8. Cool Brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set before frosting.
  9. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine the melted butter, 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, evaporated milk, and 2 cups powdered sugar. Mix until smooth.
  10. Adjust Frosting Consistency: Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar until the frosting reaches your desired thickness.
  11. Frost Brownies: Spread the creamy frosting evenly over the cooled brownies.
  12. Serve: Cut the frosted brownies into squares and serve them fresh for a decadent chocolate treat.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the batter after adding flour to keep the brownies tender.
  • Use unsalted butter to better control the salt level in the recipe.
  • For extra gooey brownies, slightly underbake the batter before adding marshmallows.
  • Cool brownies completely before frosting to prevent melting.
  • If frosting appears too thick, add a teaspoon of evaporated milk to thin it out.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
