Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup Maple Syrup
  • 1 pinch Salt
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • 1 cup Cold Water
  • 1 tbsp Gelatin Powder (you might need more if it is a grass-fed beef gelatin)
  • 1/4 cup Powdered Sugar (this will be used for dusting the pan)

Equipment

  • mixer
  • sauce pan
  • candy thermometer
  • 9x9 pan (any size will work but the bigger it is the thinner the marshmallows)
  • measuring cups

Method
 

  1. Dust the bottom of your 9x9 pan with the powdered sugar.
  2. Add cold water and gelatin to a bowl and let it bloom.
  3. On the stove, add the maple syrup to the pot and begin to heat it.
    Once it reaches 240º, add the salt and vanilla extract. (Be quick but careful. You don't want to spill it, but you also don't want it to get thick and hard to work with.)
  4. Slowly add it to your bowl with the bloomed gelatin while mixing with your mixer. If using a stand mixer, turn the mixer on slow while you slowly pour the syrup into the bowl.
  5. When all of the syrup is added and incorporated a little, turn the mixer on high.
  6. Once the mixture comes to soft peaks, turn the mixer off and add the mixture to your dusted 9x9 pan and smooth it out.
  7. Once smooth, dust powdered sugar on top while it sets.
  8. Once set, cut the marshmallows into one inch squares and enjoy!

Notes

  1. Work quickly once you get the mixture off the stove. It will thicken up to where you can't pour it into the bowl.
  2. Have your mixer on and in the bowl as you are pouring the maple syrup into the bowl. Don't pour and then mix; it will burn the gelatin. 
  3. To make it even more PCOS-friendly, instead of powdered sugar, you can dust the pan with arrowroot powder or create your powdered sugar by blending coconut sugar in a blender.
