Ingredients: 

Marshmallow Layer 

  • ½ cup honey
  • ¼ cup + 2 tbsp water, divided
  • 1 pinch sea salt
  • 1 pouch gelatin
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp Arrowroot for dusting (or cornstarch)

Graham Cracker-Style Crust

  • 2 ¼ cups Flourish Chocolate Protein Pancake Mix
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp sea salt
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ⅓ cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp molasses
  • ½ cup coconut sugar
  • 3 tbsp almond milk

      Chocolate Layer

      • 1 cup Dark or milk chocolate chips 

      Instructions:

      1. Line a baking pan with parchment and grease with coconut oil. Sprinkle arrowroot on top. Shake to lightly coat.
      2. In a small bowl, whisk together gelatin and 2 tbsp of water and set aside.
      3. In a medium saucepan, combine honey, ¼ cup water, and salt. Place over low-medium heat and bring to a gentle boil, whisking until very smooth and combined. Continue boiling on low for 10 minutes, or until a thermometer reaches 240ºF. Remove from heat.
      4. Stir in gelatin mixture and whisk until smooth. Stir in vanilla extract.
      5. Using a hand mixer, beat on high speed for 5- 6 minutes or until almost white. The texture should be like a soft lava that holds a soft peak for a few seconds. 
      6. With a rubber spatula, scrape out marshmallow mixture and spread evenly into the prepared pan. Let rest, uncovered, for 4 hours or overnight. Do not refrigerate.
      7. Preheat oven to 350F.  Line a 8x8” baking pan with parchment paper and set aside.
      8. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Flourish Chocolate Protein Pancake Mix, cinnamon, nutmeg, sea salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
      9. In a large bowl, whisk together the coconut oil, vanilla, coconut sugar, molasses, and almond milk until well incorporated.
      10. Slowly fold the dry mixture into the wet mixture until combined.
      11. Add mixture to the prepared pan and press down using a cup until firm. Sprinkle chocolate chips on top and bake for 15 minutes.
      12. Remove from the oven and place marshmallow on top. Turn the oven on to a high broil and bake for 1 – 2 minutes or until golden brown top. Watch carefully, or will burn fast. 
      13. Cut into squares and serve.
