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 Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray to ensure easy removal of the brownies.
  2. Mix Cocoa and Oil: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oil and 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder until a smooth consistency forms, creating a rich chocolate base for your brownies.
  3. Add Butter and Sugar: Incorporate the softened butter into the mixture and blend until creamy. Then, mix in the granulated sugar thoroughly for sweetness and texture.
  4. Add Eggs and Vanilla: Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition to bind the ingredients and enrich the batter. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract to enhance the chocolate aroma.
  5. Add Flour and Salt: Gently fold in the all-purpose flour and salt, taking care not to overmix, which keeps the brownies tender and prevents toughness.
  6. Bake the Brownies: Pour the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until set but still fudgy.
  7. Add Marshmallows: Remove the brownies from the oven and sprinkle 2 cups of mini marshmallows evenly over the top. Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes or until the marshmallows begin to melt and become gooey.
  8. Cool the Brownies: Allow the brownies to cool completely in the pan to set the layers and make frosting easier to spread.
  9. Prepare Frosting: In a mixing bowl, combine melted butter, 1/4 cup cocoa powder, evaporated milk, and 2 cups powdered sugar until smooth. Gradually add the remaining powdered sugar until the frosting has a thick, spreadable consistency.
  10. Frost and Serve: Spread the rich chocolate frosting evenly over the cooled brownies. Cut into squares and serve for a decadent dessert treat.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the flour to keep brownies tender.
  • Use unsalted butter for better control over saltiness.
  • Let brownies cool completely before frosting to avoid melting the frosting.
  • You can substitute evaporated milk with regular milk for frosting if desired.
  • Store brownies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
