Ingredients
- 3 tbsp unflavored grass-fed gelatin (Shop here!)
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 tsp mineral salt
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 baking dish lined with parchment paper.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, add ½ cup cold water. Sprinkle the gelatin evenly over it and let it sit for 10 minutes.
- In a saucepan, combine remaining ½ cup water, maple syrup and salt. Cook on medium heat for 6-8 minutes.
- Turn the stand mixer on low and carefully pour the hot syrup into the bloomed gelatin.
- Gradually increase to high speed and whip for 8–10 minutes until mixture is thick, fluffy, and tripled in volume. Add vanilla extract at the last minute.
- Pour mixture into a prepared baking dish lined with parchment paper. Put in the fridge for 1-2 hours to expedite the process.
- Lift marshmallows out with parchment. Cut into squares with a sharp knife or kitchen scissors. You can toss pieces in arrowroot powder to prevent sticking if you want.
Notes
OTHER OPTIONS: To make flavored/colored marshmallows, add peppermint, almond, or orange extract instead of vanilla.You can even swirl in natural food color powders (like beet for pink or matcha for green).
