Ingredients

These marshmallow brownies are super fudgy chocolate brownie with chocolate chips. It has marshmallow fluff swirled on top.

For the Brownie Base

• 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 cup Unsweetened cocoa powder (Use Dutch-process cocoa powder)
• 1 1/2 TBSP Cornstarch
• 1/2 tsp Salt
• 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips

For the Marshmallow Topping

• 1 cup Marshmallow crème

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 and spray again for easy removal.

Step 2: Prepare Dry Ingredients

In a medium bowl, sift together the following:
All-purpose flour
Cocoa powder
Cornstarch

Add in the salt and set aside.

Step 3: Mix Sugar and Eggs

Using a stand mixer with a whisk attachment, beat together:
1. Sugar
2. Large eggs
3. Egg yolk

Mix on high speed for about 5 minutes until it becomes pale in color. While mixing, melt the butter in the microwave and allow it to cool slightly.

Step 4: Combine Wet Ingredients

Add to the egg mixture:
Oil
Melted butter
Vanilla extract

Mix on low until combined.

Step 5: Incorporate Dry Ingredients

Gradually add in the dry ingredients you prepared earlier. Mix on low speed until just combined. Then fold in:
Semi-sweet chocolate chips

Step 6: Add Marshmallow Fluff

Pour the brownie batter into your prepared baking pan. Melt the marshmallow fluff in the microwave for about 20-30 seconds until soft. Use a teaspoon to dollop the melted fluff on top of the brownie batter. Lightly swirl using a butter knife to create a marbled effect.

Step 7: Bake

Bake your brownies in the preheated oven for about 45-55 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick; it should come out slightly wet but not covered in batter. If needed, bake for an additional 5 minutes.

Step 8: Cool and Serve

Let your brownies cool completely on a cooling rack before cutting them into squares and serving them up! Enjoy every fudgy bite of these delightful marshmallow brownies!
