Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (240g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • ½ cup (113g) unsalted butter, melted and slightly cooled
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ¾ cup (180ml) whole milk (or almond milk for dairy-free)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup (150g) fresh strawberries, diced small
  • ¾ cup (about 100g) mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup (175g) dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine granulated sugar, melted unsalted butter, eggs, whole milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold with a spatula until just combined. Batter should be thick but smooth.
  5. Gently fold in diced fresh strawberries and mini marshmallows.
  6. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full using a spoon or ice cream scoop.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out with a few moist crumbs but no wet batter.
  8. Let muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack.
  9. Melt dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second bursts, stirring until smooth, or melt over a double boiler.
  10. Drizzle melted chocolate over the tops of the muffins and let harden at room temperature or refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Notes

Use mini marshmallows for best texture; avoid overmixing batter to keep muffins tender. Tent muffins with foil if marshmallows brown too quickly. Drizzle chocolate while muffins are still warm for best adhesion. Fresh strawberries should be firm and diced small to avoid sogginess.
