Seed Oil Free Apple-Ginger Collagen Gummies
These little gummies are a genuinely fun way to sneak some gut-supporting gelatin into your day, and they taste like a cozy autumn drink in chewy, bite-sized form. The base is pure apple juice warmed with fresh ginger and Ceylon cinnamon, so every piece has a bright, spiced sweetness that feels almost fancy for something this simple. Grass-fed beef gelatin does all the heavy lifting here — no pectin, no additives, and absolutely nothing derived from industrial seed oils, which can sneak into store-bought gummies through coatings, emulsifiers, or flavoring agents. A touch of honey rounds out the flavor without overpowering the ginger's gentle heat. The blooming step ensures a silky-smooth texture, and straining out the ginger fibers means you get clean, glossy gummies every time. They set up firm enough to pop right out of the mold but still have that satisfying, springy chew. Keep a batch in the fridge and you've got a wholesome little treat ready to grab whenever a sweet craving hits.

4 servings
- 2 cups fresh juice or 100% pure apple juice, unsweetened
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon
- 1 tbsp honey
- 3 tbsp unflavored grass-fed beef gelatin powder
Instructions
- 1
Pour 1 cup of the apple juice into the small saucepan and sprinkle the gelatin powder evenly over the surface. Let it sit undisturbed for 3–5 minutes until the gelatin has absorbed the juice and the surface looks matte and slightly wrinkled — this is the bloom step and ensures the gelatin dissolves smoothly.

Add the remaining 1 cup of apple juice, the grated ginger, Ceylon cinnamon, and honey to the saucepan. Warm over medium-low heat, whisking gently, until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth and steaming — about 3–4 minutes. Do not let it boil.
