Homemade Gut-Healthy Marshmallows

✨Soft, fluffy, and good for your gut! These marshmallows are made with simple, wholesome ingredients—perfect for topping your favorite hot cocoa or just snacking on their own. Bonus: they're naturally sweetened and packed with gelatin for a boost to your gut health and joints.✨

Here’s how to make them:

Ingredients

- 1/2 cup warm water

- 1/4 cup gelatin

- 1/2 cup room temp water

- 1 cup maple syrup

- Pinch of sea salt

- 1 tsp (or more) vanilla extract

Instructions

- Add 1/2 cup warm water to a mixing bowl and sprinkle gelatin on top. Stir and let it bloom for 5 minutes.

- Meanwhile, combine room temp water, maple syrup, and sea salt in a saucepan. Slowly bring to a boil, whisking frequently.

- Begin mixing the bloomed gelatin on low speed (it will be a tough blob—don’t worry, that’s good).

- Gradually pour the hot syrup mixture into the bowl while mixing, increasing the speed as you go.

- Add vanilla extract and mix on high for about 15 minutes, until it looks like marshmallow fluff and cools down.

- Grease a container with coconut oil or beef tallow and pour the marshmallow mix in.

- Dust with a little powdered sugar, cover, and refrigerate overnight.

- Slice into your desired shapes and sizes. Store in the fridge for up to 1 month.

Pro tip: Pair these with your favorite hot cocoa for National Cocoa Day on 12/13. Keep an eye out for my cocoa recipe coming soon.☕️

... Read moreMarshmallows are not just delightful treats; they can also be a part of a healthier diet when made with gut-friendly ingredients. Eating gelatin-rich foods like these marshmallows can be beneficial, as gelatin helps to support gut health, improve joint function, and even may enhance skin health. By opting for natural sweeteners like maple syrup, you can reduce refined sugar intake while enjoying a sweet taste. Moreover, incorporating marshmallows into cozy winter treats, such as hot cocoa, can transform your beverage into a gourmet experience. When paired with warm cocoa, these marshmallows not only add texture but also a health boost, making them perfect for National Cocoa Day and other special occasions. For those looking to explore more about healthy desserts, consider adding flavors like peppermint or matcha for a unique twist that complements the marshmallows well. In addition, these homemade marshmallows can be customized to suit dietary preferences, such as using vegan alternatives for gelatin or agave syrup for a lower-glycemic option. Experiment with toppings or mix-ins like nuts or coconut for added health benefits and taste diversity. Enjoy the process of making these marshmallows with family or friends, turning preparation into a fun activity that ends with delicious, gut-friendly treats.
