Easy S’mores Cupcakes bring the classic campfire flavors into a soft, moist cupcake, with layers of graham cracker, rich chocolate, and toasted marshmallow. Perfect for any occasion!
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup boiling water
1/2 cup mini marshmallows
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup crushed graham crackers (for topping)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, graham cracker crumbs, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cocoa powder, and sugar.
- In another bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until combined.
- Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. The batter will be thick.
- Slowly pour in the boiling water, mixing to create a smooth batter. It will be thin at this point.
- Fill each cupcake liner about 2/3 full with the batter.
- Place 1-2 mini marshmallows and a few chocolate chips into the center of each cupcake. Gently press them down with a spoon to embed them into the batter.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the cupcakes cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, top each cupcake with crushed graham crackers and an additional mini marshmallow.
- Using a kitchen torch, carefully toast the marshmallows until golden brown, or place under the broiler for 1-2 minutes to achieve a similar effect.
Notes
- For an extra touch, pipe marshmallow frosting on top instead of toasted mini marshmallows.
- For gluten-free cupcakes, substitute the all-purpose flour with a gluten-free flour blend.
- For vegan cupcakes, use flax eggs, non-dairy milk, and vegan chocolate chips.
- Store the cupcakes in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days, or refrigerate them for up to a week.
- You can freeze the cupcakes before adding the marshmallow topping for up to 3 months.
- For added texture, chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans can be mixed into the batter.
- Be careful not to overmix the batter to prevent the cupcakes from sinking.
