Ingredients

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk
  • 6 tablespoons sunflower oil or 6 tablespoons melted cooled butter

Method

  • Preheat oven to 350°F
  • Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with 12 muffin paper liners.
  • Using scissors, cut the marshmallows in half.
  • Sift together the flour, cocoa, baking powder and salt into a large bowl. Stir in the sugar and marshmallows.
  • Lightly beat the eggs in a large bowl, then beat in the milk and oil.
  • Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour in the beaten liquid ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; do not overmix.
  • Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan. Bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes, until well risen and firm to the touch.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then serve warm or transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely.
