  • Mix the powdered monk fruit sweetener, arrowroot starch, and cinnamon in a bowl, dusting the pan generously with the mixture, tapping out the excess

  • In a medium saucepan, combine the maple syrup, 1/4 cup water, and salt
  • Bring to a boil over medium-high heat without stirring

  • Once incorporated, increase the speed to high and beat for 8-10 minutes until the mixture triples in size and forms thick, glossy peaks
  • Add vanilla extract and cinnamon in the last minute of whipping
  • Quickly pour the marshmallow mixture into the prepared pan and spread evenly with a greased spatula
  • Dust the top with more of the coating mix and let it sit uncovered at room temperature for 6-8 hours or overnight
