Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Instructions
Peel the bananas and slice them into chunks for easier blending.
Add the banana chunks, unsweetened cocoa powder, and honey (if using) into a blender or food processor.
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Line the dehydrator trays with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone sheet to prevent sticking.
Pour the banana-chocolate mixture onto the prepared tray and spread it evenly using a spatula. Aim for a thickness of about 1/8 to 1/4 inch for optimal drying.
Set the dehydrator to 135°F (57°C) or the recommended setting for fruit leather on your machine.
Dehydrate for 6-8 hours, checking occasionally. The fruit leather is ready when it is no longer sticky to the touch and peels off the parchment cleanly.
Once done, let the fruit leather cool completely on the tray.
Carefully peel the fruit leather off the parchment paper or silicone sheet and cut it into strips using a sharp knife or scissors.
Roll each strip in parchment paper and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
