How to make dairy-free marshmallow protein bars
Line an 8-by-8-inch baking sheet or loaf pan with parchment paper. Add almond or flaxseed milk and gelatin to the pot. Bloom the gelatin according to package instructions. Place the pot on low heat. Unlike dairy versions, gelatin takes considerably longer to dissolve. Continue whisking over low heat, watching carefully, until the mixture is completely smooth and thin, about 15 minutes. Do not boil. Transfer the mixture to a high-speed blender, such as a Vitamix. Add protein powder and mix on medium-low speed. Please be patient during this step. The dairy-free version takes significantly longer to whip than the original recipe. Blend for up to 10 minutes or until mixture is thick and fluffy and has approximately tripled in volume. For a classic marshmallow protein bar, pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer. For marshmallow cereal bars, gently stir in 3 cups of your favorite cereal, then transfer the mixture to a saucepan. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours or until completely set. Cut into 8 equal pieces and enjoy.

Tips for the Best Dairy-Free Marshmallow Protein Bars
Use only unsweetened almond milk or unsweetened flaxseed milk. Oat milk, soy milk, and coconut milk are too thick and won’t give you the same fluffy texture. Keep the heat low while the gelatin dissolves. Don’t rush this step, as it will take about 15 minutes for the mixture to become smooth. Whisk constantly during heating to prevent lumps. Blend on medium-low speed for up to 10 minutes. The volume of the mixture will triple before it is ready. If making cereal bars, gently fold in the cereal to maintain crispiness. Bars can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

FAQ
Can I use another dairy-free milk?
For best results, use unsweetened almond or flaxseed milk. You will get the ideal consistency.
Soy milk and coconut milk are not recommended as they are thick and do not foam well.
Why does the dairy-free version take so long?
Plant-based milks don’t dissolve gelatin as quickly as cow’s milk, so they require much more blending to incorporate air into the mixture. Don’t give up! If you triple the volume of the mixture, you’ll get the same light, fluffy marshmallow texture.
Do dairy-free marshmallow protein bars need to be refrigerated?
yes. Since it uses gelatin, be sure to store it in the refrigerator.
These dairy-free 3-ingredient marshmallow protein bars prove you don’t need dairy to enjoy a soft, fluffy, marshmallow-like protein treat. Whether you make the peanut butter version shown here or try your favorite Equip Foods flavor, this recipe is an easy and delicious way to satisfy your sweet tooth while fueling your body with high-quality protein.
