Ingredients
- 3 pounds ripe bananas (about 11 medium), peeled
- 2 3/4 cups apple juice or water
- 2 3/4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 3/4 tablespoons honey (or maple syrup)
- 2 3/4 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 7/8 tablespoon cornstarch
Instructions
- In a blender, combine the ingredients and blend until smooth, with an applesauce-like consistency.
- Pour the puree into a small saucepan set over medium heat, bring to a simmer, and let simmer for 2 minutes. Do not boil.
- Let cool, then pour 1 cup of puree per leather in strips on a drying sheet set in a dehydrator tray. Slap the tray on the counter a couple times to level the liquid. Dehydrate at 125 °F until the leathers easily peel off the drying sheet, 11 hours.
- Peel the leathers off the sheet and place them on the mesh rack of the dehydrator tray itself, then place back into the dehydrator for another 3 hours. Store as directed while warm .
