Make soft, fluffy, and healthy marshmallows at home! This GAPS-friendly, Paleo, vegan, and sugar-free recipe is perfect for clean, gut-friendly treats.
Equipment
- 9x13 pan
- unbleached parchment paper
- stand mixer
Ingredients
- 1 cup water (divided)
- 1 cup raw honey
- 3 tbsp grass fed beef gelatin
- 1 tspn real vanilla extract
- 1/4 tspn sea salt
Instructions
- Line a 9x13 pan with unbleached parchment paper.
- Add 1/2 cup of water, honey, and salt in a pot on medium heat. Slowly bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly. Once it boils and begins to foam, stir for about 5-10 minutes, until it the mixture looks a little thicker and grainy. Remove from heat immediately after texture change and allow to cool for 5 minutes.
- Add 1/2 cup warm water and gelatin to the stand mixer bowl and mix on low/medium.
- Slowly (over 3-4 minutes, so gelatin does not get too hot) pour in the honey mixture to the stand mixer bowl.
- When all the honey is added, turn the mixer on high.
- Continuously scrape the sides of the mixing bowl with a spatula while mixing on high speed.
- Mix until the batter changes consistency. It should double in volume and begin to form "peaks". This means when you lift the dripping spatula, the batter will look like a mountain peak, "standing up". This may take about 6-12 minutes depending on your mixer.
- Quickly pour batter into parchment paper lined 9x13 pans and smooth the top immediately.
- Allow the marshmallows to set in the fridge for about 1-2 hours or at room temperature for about 6 hours.
- Cut into desired sizes, once set.
