Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.75 cups granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 cups unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
- 0.75 cups milk
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 large egg
- 24 pieces mini marshmallows
- 2 tablespoons icing sugar (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup.
In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, and salt until well combined.
In a separate medium bowl, mix the melted butter, milk, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and uniform.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; lumps are okay.
Spoon a small amount of batter (about 1 tablespoon) into the bottom of each muffin cup to create a base.
Place two mini marshmallows in the center of each muffin cup on top of the batter.
Spoon additional batter over the marshmallows, filling each muffin cup about two-thirds full. Ensure the marshmallows are completely covered by the batter.
Bake the muffins in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the edge (not the center to avoid melted marshmallow) comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Dust the cooled muffins with icing sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and a magical finish before serving.
