Ingredients
- 170 g unsalted butter
- 180 g dark chocolate, chopped
- 200 g granulated sugar
- 80 g light brown sugar
- 3 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 95 g all-purpose flour
- 30 g unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fine salt
- 35 g rolled oats
- 25 g all-purpose flour, for the crumble
- 20 g light brown sugar, for the crumble
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for the crumble
- 30 g cold unsalted butter, cubed
- 100 g mini marshmallows
Method
Heat the oven to 175 C, or 160 C fan. Line a 20 cm square pan with baking paper.
Melt the 170 g butter and dark chocolate together over low heat, stirring until smooth. Remove from the heat and cool for 5 minutes.
Whisk the granulated sugar and 80 g brown sugar into the chocolate. Add the eggs one at a time, whisking well after each, then stir in the vanilla.
Sift in 95 g flour, 30 g cocoa, and the salt. Fold just until combined, then spread the batter evenly in the pan.
Rub the oats, 25 g flour, 20 g brown sugar, 1 tablespoon cocoa, and cold butter together into coarse crumbs. Scatter the crumble around the edge of the brownie batter, leaving the center mostly open.
Bake for 27 to 30 minutes, until the edges are set and the center still gives slightly when pressed.
Scatter the marshmallows over the open center and return the pan to the oven for 3 to 4 minutes, until puffed. Toast the topping briefly under a hot broiler, watching continuously, until spotted golden brown.
Cool completely before lifting from the pan and cutting with a lightly oiled knife.
Before you start
- This is an original Baking Show Guide home adaptation inspired by the episode brief. It is not a contestant recipe and not an official Food Network recipe.
- The crumble supplies the contrasting crunch requested in the episode's later yule-log heat.
- Marshmallows brown very quickly under a broiler; do not leave the pan unattended.
