Healthy Marshmallows

Healthy Marshmallows

Ingredients:

1 cup filtered water, divided

1 Tbsp marshmallow root powder (optional)

3 Tbsp pasture-raised gelatin powder

1/2 cup pure maple syrup or raw honey

1/2 cup coconut sugar

2 tsp vanilla

Pinch of Redmond real salt

Directions:

If using marshmallow root powder, combine 1 cup of warm water with 1 Tbsp marshmallow root powder and set aside for 5-10 minutes. Stir well and strain. Make sure the strained liquid makes a whole cup

Pour 1/2 cup of the prepared marshmallow root liquid into the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large bowl if you’re using a hand mixer. Sprinkle gelatin in an even thin layer across the top

Combine the remaining 1/2 cup of liquid, maple syrup or honey, coconut sugar, and vanilla in a saucepan and heat over medium until slightly and slowly boiling. Let simmer for 2-3 minutes, then turn off heat

Turn your mixer on low and begin mixing the gelatin and water. Slowly add in the hot ingredients and mix on low until gelatin is incorporated, then add salt

Increase mixer to high speed and mix until mixture is thick, fluffy, and looks like marshmallow fluff. It should drip off the beaters very slowly if at all. Timing will vary based on mixer and altitude. If mixture is clumpy, it has been over-mixed

Immediately pour mixture into an 8x8 glass pan lined with parchment paper. Allow to set on counter for a few hours or overnight

Cut into 20 squares

Store in an air-tight container in the fridge
