Let’s talk bananas!
As we speak you probably have banana that are not their way out lingering in your kitchen. Rather than whip up a banana bread, you can actually skip all that and make homemade fruit leather with just 2 ingredients and it takes minute to throw together.Â
No added sugar, no dehydrator needed, all you need is bananas and cocoa powder!
I’ll be honest, I’m not one to make homemade snacks unless it’s a dip as there are so many great store bought options. However, I’m a huge advocate for mitigating food waste and I love this concept. If dehydrating fruit sounds intricate, it’s not, and quite possibly the easiest thing to do! lolÂ

Easy Chocolate Banana Fruit Leather
- Total Time: 2hrs 35 mins
- Yield: 8 Roll Ups 1x
Description
Ingredients
- Preheat oven to 175 degrees
- Place everything in the blender and blend until smooth
- Pour onto a pan lined with parchment paper. Smooth out the top so its about 1/4 inch thick. If it’s a little thicker it’s not a big deal, it may just take longer to cook. I recommend doubling the recipe so that you can make 16 roll ups.
- Bake for 2 1/2 hrs or longer until firm and not wet. You should be able to touch it without leaving an indention. Allow to cool and then slice into strips while still attached to the parchment paper. Store in a airtight container in the fridge.
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 2 1/2 hrs
