Marshmallow muffins
My guys love marshmallows. Any size, any flavour... I have to hide the bags of marshmallows or they will be emptied faster than I can say marshmallows. I mostly use them for decorating the bakes or pancakes. Yesterday Eddie asked if we could put marshmallows inside the cupcakes.
I baked a batch, thinking I would also decorate them with a bit of icing and more marshmallows, but they look so pretty as they are, with popped up marshmallows. Muffins then, not cupcakes.
Marshmallow muffins
Ingredients:
120g butter
120g caster sugar
2 medium eggs
1tsp vanilla essence
150g self-raising flour
1tsp baking powder
60g cornflour
4tbsp milk
a handful of mini marhsmallows
Cream the butter and caster sugar together, beat in the eggs, add vanilla essence, self-raising flour, baking powder, cornflour and milk, mix well. Then scoop a big handful of mini marshmallows and add to the cake batter, mix together.
Spoon the cake batter in 8 paper muffin cases inserted into the muffin tray. Place the tray in the oven preheated to 180C. Bake for about 20+ minutes.
Marshmallows closer to the top will pop and melt over the surface.
Lovely muffins for those who have a sweet tooth.

My son is like that with marshmallows as well, they disappear fast. These muffins are so pretty
ReplyDeleteI have to hide packs, or the boys would make them disappear in 60 seconds
DeleteAn interesting idea! I make my own marshmallows, much better than shop bought to be honest. Fool proof recipe, let me know if you want it! I bet Eddie would love to help you cutting them up (it's super messy)
ReplyDeleteOh yes please, I have never made my own marshmallows, would love to try.
