  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients

Streusel

  • 4 full-sized graham crackers, crushed (3/4 cup crumbs)
  • 2 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 3 tablespoons butter, melted

Muffins

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow creme
  • 1/4 cup broken milk chocolate pieces or milk chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a large muffin tin with cupcake liners or lightly coat it with nonstick spray, then set aside.
  2. Make Streusel: In a medium bowl, combine the crushed graham cracker crumbs, light brown sugar, and melted butter. Stir well to create a crumbly streusel topping. Set aside.
  3. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, kosher salt, and baking powder. Set this mixture aside.
  4. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk, egg, vegetable oil, honey, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry: Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients bowl and gently stir until just combined and the batter is smooth. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Assemble Muffins: Spoon 2 tablespoons of the muffin batter into each lined muffin cup. Then add a heaping tablespoon of marshmallow creme on top of the batter in each muffin.
  7. Top and Finish: Spoon the remaining batter evenly over the marshmallow creme in each muffin cup, covering it. Sprinkle the prepared graham cracker streusel evenly over the top of each muffin.
  8. Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 to 17 minutes, or until the muffin tops are golden and set.
  9. Add Chocolate: Immediately after removing the muffins from the oven, press the broken milk chocolate pieces or chocolate chips evenly into the tops of the hot muffins so they soften and slightly melt.
  10. Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-sized graham crackers for the best texture in the streusel topping.
  • Do not overfill the muffin cups to prevent overflow and uneven baking.
  • Pressing the chocolate onto the hot muffins helps it melt slightly for that classic s’mores gooeyness.
  • You can substitute marshmallow creme with mini marshmallows if preferred, but creme ensures a smoother texture.
  • Make sure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins tender and fluffy.
