Easy Peasy healthified Marshmallows!

Homemade Marshmallows done simple and healthy!!!!

I am always looking for easy ways to to make our own healthified versions of common well loved sweet treats. Marshmallows topped my list! Ive come across many recipes for making your own,but in case you didnt know this about me.....I am a very busy Mama....you may even say Im a Uniquely Busy Mom!! 😂😂

This means that when I see a recipe calling for a candy thermometer I am instantly scared off! Im sure plenty of busy Moms enjoy all that measuring and watching and checking and doing things just right.......Im not that Mom! 😝

So, when I found this recipe I knew it was the one for me!!! ONLY 4 INGREDIENTS!!! I cannot take credit for its genius, I simply discovered it on Pinterest! A Moms best friend for sharing and finding ideas! 😉 

Here is what you need:

-1cup pure Maple Syrup

-2 Egg Whites

-2 Tbs Gelatin (Organic grass fed is best of course,but Im not gonna lie...I used cheap plain Knox gelatin 😜)

-2tsp Pure Vanilla extract

-1/2 Water (Ok so technically this is a 5th ingredient....but who counts water!?)

The process is every bit as simple. Just toss in your Maple syrup,egg whites and vanilla into your stand mixer and let it begin mixing. While its busy mixing put your water and gelatin into small saucepan on stove and heat it just till the gelatin is dissolved.It doesnt take long at all. Once its dissolved,take it over to your mixer which is still going,and gently pour it in. Let the mixer continue for  10 minutes. Thats plenty of time to grab your baking dish and grease it up with some coconut oil and dusting of whatever flour you have. At the 10min mark you turn off the mixer and it will be filled with what looks like Marshmallow Fluff! Just scrape it out and spread into your greased pan,pop into the refridgerator and chill. Its best to do so overnight,but at very least a few hours. Once theyre set,you can go ahead and cut them into squares and enjoy! I store ours in mason jars in the fridge. Taste wise, they will have a subtle maple flavor,which personally we enjoy! You can also get creative and flavor your marshmallows with Cinnamon, or replace the vanilla extract with other flavors like almond, or fruit extract.Im thinking about trying chocolate marshmallows with cocoa powder next! Let me know what you think!!! 😁

PS- We can also confirm that you can indeed use these to make healthified krispie treats with!!
