Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (250 g) all-purpose flour
  • 1 1/2 cups (300 g) granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup (240 ml) milk
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) vegetable oil
  • 2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (240 ml) hot water or hot coffee
  • 1 1/2 cups (255 g) mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup (100 g) chopped pecans or walnuts, toasted
  • 1/2 cup (90 g) chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9×13-inch baking pan and line with parchment.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

  6. Let cool for 5 minutes, then sprinkle mini marshmallows, nuts, and chocolate chips on top.
  7. Return to oven for 3–5 minutes or broil on low for 30–45 seconds until marshmallows puff and turn golden.
  8. Let cool for 10–15 minutes before slicing. Serve warm.
