  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 12 cupcakes

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup milk
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • Additional marshmallows for topping
  • Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
  3. Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, cream the softened butter and sugar until light and fluffy.
  4. Add eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Mix in vanilla extract.
  5. Gradually add dry ingredients, alternating with milk, starting and ending with dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
  6. Gently fold in mini marshmallows until evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow cupcakes to cool completely on a wire rack, then top with extra marshmallows or melted marshmallows for decoration.

Notes

  • Use mini marshmallows for even distribution within the cupcakes.
  • For a richer flavor, add chocolate chips or sprinkle cinnamon on top before baking.
  • Store cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days, or refrigerate for 3-4 days.
  • To freeze, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and store in a freezer-safe container for up to a month.
