Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup graham cracker crumbs

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a cupcake pan with paper liners to ensure easy removal of cupcakes after baking.
  2. Cream Butter and Sugar: In a large bowl, cream together the softened unsalted butter and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy, providing a smooth base for your batter.
  3. Add Eggs: Incorporate the eggs one at a time into the creamed butter and sugar, mixing well after each addition to ensure full integration and a consistent batter texture.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: Stir in the milk and vanilla extract to the wet mixture, adding moisture and flavor to the batter.
  5. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, unsweetened cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt, ensuring these leavening agents and dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
  6. Integrate Dry into Wet: Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined to avoid overmixing which can lead to dense cupcakes.
  7. Fold in Mix-ins: Gently fold in the mini marshmallows, graham cracker crumbs, and chocolate chips to the batter, incorporating the classic s’mores flavors throughout.
  8. Fill Cupcake Liners: Evenly divide the batter among the cupcake liners in your prepared pan, filling each about two-thirds full to allow room for rising.
  9. Bake: Bake the cupcakes in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  10. Cool: Remove the cupcakes from the oven and allow them to cool completely on a wire rack before frosting or serving to ensure the marshmallows retain their texture.

Notes

  • Ensure the butter is softened to room temperature for easier creaming and better texture.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added to keep cupcakes light and fluffy.
  • Use mini marshmallows as they distribute better in the batter and melt nicely within.
  • Allow cupcakes to cool completely before frosting to avoid melting your frosting.
  • For an extra gooey topping, consider adding a few marshmallows and chocolate chips on top before baking.
  • You can substitute milk with a dairy-free alternative for a lactose-free version.
