Ingredients
- 4 pieces ripe bananas
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 tablespoon honey (optional, for extra sweetness)
Directions
Step 1
Peel the bananas and slice them into chunks for easier blending.
Step 2
Add the banana chunks, unsweetened cocoa powder, and honey (if using) into a blender or food processor.
Step 3
Blend until the mixture is completely smooth and no lumps remain.
Step 4
Line the dehydrator trays with parchment paper or a non-stick silicone sheet to prevent sticking.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Set the dehydrator to 135°F (57°C) or the recommended setting for fruit leather on your machine.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Once done, let the fruit leather cool completely on the tray.
Step 9
Carefully peel the fruit leather off the parchment paper or silicone sheet and cut it into strips using a sharp knife or scissors.
Step 10
Roll each strip in parchment paper and store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
