Ingredients
Scale
Primary Ingredients:
- 1½ cups all-purpose flour
- ½ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup buttermilk
- ½ cup vegetable oil
- ¾ cup chocolate chips or chunks
Supporting Ingredients:
- ½ cup crushed graham crackers
- 1½ teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Garnish & Topping Ingredients:
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
- ¼ cup crushed graham crackers
- Optional: additional chocolate pieces or Hershey’s bar chunks
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a 12-cup muffin pan with liners or light grease.
- Grab a large mixing bowl and combine all dry ingredients: flour, crushed graham crackers, cocoa powder, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Whisk thoroughly.
- In a separate bowl, blend eggs, buttermilk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Create a well in the center of the dry ingredients and pour the wet mixture inside. Stir gently until ingredients are just incorporated, being careful not to overmix.
- Add chocolate chips and mini marshmallows to the batter, folding them in softly and evenly.
- Scoop the batter into muffin cups, filling each about 75% full. Sprinkle additional mini marshmallows, chocolate chunks, and crushed graham crackers on top.
- Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 17 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick that should emerge with a few moist crumbs.
- Remove from oven and allow muffins to rest in the pan for 4 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
- Let muffins cool completely to help them set and develop deeper flavors.
- Serve at room temperature for the perfect blend of textures and tastes.
Notes
- Toast graham cracker crumbs briefly before mixing to enhance their nutty flavor and add extra crunch to the muffins.
- Swap buttermilk with Greek yogurt or dairy-free milk to accommodate different dietary needs while maintaining moisture.
- For an extra decadent touch, drizzle melted chocolate over cooled muffins or torch marshmallow tops for a campfire-style finish.
- Check muffins at 14 minutes since oven temperatures vary and marshmallows can quickly burn if left too long.
