These Healthy Homemade Marshmallows are a fun way to bring the “treat” back to their medicinal roots while still tasting delicious! I had no idea that marshmallows were originally created to be medicinal and it is so fun and rewarding to make them at home!

A NOTE ON CALORIE COUNT, NUTRITIONAL INFO AND SERVING SIZES
Due to my past experiences, I do not include most of the above information within my recipes as it is unsafe for me to do so personally. While I try to share a rough estimate when it comes to the serving size, please note that it is very subjective as we all have different hunger levels both from person to person and even from meal to meal.
If any of the above information is important to you, I understand! We are all different and have various goals and needs. If you’d like, you are welcome to calculate the information needed based on the ingredients you use when making one of my recipes.
I hope you understand! This comes from a place of love and protection both for myself and others like me. If you ever have any questions, send me an Instagram message for the quickest response time! Thank you for being here!

Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Butter a loaf pan and dust with powdered sugar (or arrowroot or tapioca flour/starch).
- Add ½ cup of the water and the marshmallow root tea to a glass and allow to sit for one hour.
- Strain the marshmallow root tea and add that ½ cup of the marshmallow root tea to a pan until boiling. Then, combine the “tea” with the gelatin, mixing as you pour/right away until fully combined.
- Add the remaining ½ cup of water with honey to a separate pan over heat until it reaches 240℉, stirring constantly. It's important that the temperature reaches 240℉!
- Add everything to a stand mixing bowl and whisk everything together on medium/high speed until thick and stiff peaks form (about 10 mins, but be sure to watch it). You want the mixture to be silky but not too thick and clumpy.
- Working quickly, pour in the marshmallow mixture into your prepared loaf pan and spread it out as best you can. Reminder, it doesn't have to look perfect! I actually prefer to cut my marshmallows into shapes so it doesn't matter if they aren't perfectly smooth. Being in the kitchen should be fun!
- Dust the marshmallows with more powdered sugar (or arrowroot or tapioca flour/starch) then place the marshmallows in the fridge for 1-2 hours.
- Once firm, cut the marshmallows to desired size using a knife or cookie cutters to make shapes.
