    • 📖 Recipe

    It's rainy here in Connecticut. It's one of those days when you just want to hang out in the house and find something relaxing to do.

    So, it was the perfect day to pull out the big Excalibur Dehydrator that I have and make some blueberry fruit leather!

    I originally bought the dehydrator to make venison jerky out of all the deer meat my husband gets during hunting season. However, it's also a great machine for drying fruits and vegetables. I probably don't use it as much as I should.

    💛  Why you'll love it

    When you are craving something sweet, this fruit leather recipe is just the ticket!

    These are a great snack for the kids and a nice way to carry fruit without worrying about smashing or spoiling. Making them was also a good way for me to pass the time on a rainy day.

    The puree smells delicious as it dries on the dehydrator trays and comes out with a perfectly smooth texture.

    It's a great idea for packing lunches, and kids love how they taste.

    📋 Ingredients

    There are just two ingredients in this simple fruit leather recipe.

    ingredients for blueberry fruit leather.

    Blueberries

    I used about 4 cups to make a puree for blueberry fruit leather. The blueberries are pretty sweet on their own, so it's not essential to add a sweetener when making fruit leather out of them.

    Sweetener

    I like to sweeten my fruit leather recipe a little with stevia. I find that a liquid version like the NOW brand of Stevia Glycerite works well in this recipe.

    I suppose you could add Splenda or sugar alcohols as well, but I wanted to keep it simple and natural.

    Please note: Check out the recipe card at the bottom for a full list of ingredients used to make this low-carb recipe.

    💭 Tips

    • Use parchment paper. When you store these keto fruit roll-ups, separate the layers with parchment paper, so they don't stick together.
    • Use frozen fruit mixture. Try this fruit leather recipe with different types of frozen fruit for some flavor variation.
    • Cut with a pizza cutter. This will give it a consistent cut, and it's safer to use as well.

    🔪 Instructions

    Making fruit leather is super simple. You definitely need either a blender or food processor and your favorite fresh (or frozen) fruits. I used blueberries.

    Puree the fruit

    Add the blueberries and sweetener to the food processor. Pulse and puree until it becomes smooth and spreadable without any lumps.

    Line trays with plastic wrap to prevent the fruit leather from sticking to them.

    Spread the puree on each dehydrator sheet. Try to spread them out so that they have a consistent thickness.

    Dehydrate fruit

    Place the prepared trays into a food dehydrator with the temperature set at 135 degrees F. The average drying time is 4 to 6 hours.

    When leather is dried, it will be a little shiny and non-sticky to the touch. 

    Cut into strips

    Place the finished fruit leather on a cutting board or flat baking sheet. Then, slice it into strips.

    🍽️ Serving suggestions

    Now that you see how easy making this fruit leather recipe is, let's look at some of the low-carb snacks you can eat it with.

    If you are going to eat them for lunch, then I suggest a spinach and strawberry salad with it.

    For a delicious lunch on the go, fill some keto coconut flour tortillas with meat and cheese and munch on this fruit leather as a sweet treat!

    🙋 FAQs

    Before we get to the printable recipe card, here are some questions people often ask about how to make it.

    How long do fresh blueberries last in the freezer?

    Blueberries can be frozen for up to two years.

    Is fruit leather keto?

    You can buy all-natural fruit leathers in the grocery store or natural food store, but they are typically sweetened with apple juice or some other fruit sugar.
    The carbs are a bit high for me so I prefer using a zero-carb sweetener like stevia in my homemade fruit leather.

    Is this fruit leather recipe sugar-free?

    No, it is not completely sugar-free. Bear in mind that each blueberry fruit leather contains about ¼ cup of fresh blueberries. Because of the fructose, each strip has about 5 grams of natural fruit sugar.

    Can you make this fruit leather recipe in the oven?

    If you don't have a food dehydrator, you may be able to bake these in a low-temperature oven. However, I've never tried it that way and recommend using a dehydrator because that's what this recipe is intended for.

    How do you make a strawberry fruit leather recipe?

    For those that don't like blueberries, you can simply change them out with another low-carb berry or fresh fruit. Strawberries would make a yummy keto fruit leather!

    How do you store dried fruit leather?

    After you make your own fruit leather, store it in an airtight container or ziplock bag. You do not have to refrigerate keto fruit roll ups - just keep the air off of them.

    Ingredients

    • 4 cups blueberries , fresh or frozen
    • ½ teaspoon stevia glycerite
    US Customary - Metric

    Instructions

    • Place blueberries and stevia in food processor. Puree until it is smooth. Pour 1 ½ to 2 cups of puree on to center of Teflex or plastic wrap covered food dehydrator trays. Spread puree out on tray. Since edges can dry faster, the puree should be spread about ⅛-inch thick at center and ¼-inch thick at edges.
    • Placed prepared trays into food dehydrator with the temperature set at 135 degrees F. Average drying time is 4 to 6 hours. When leather is dried, it will be a little shiny and non-sticky to the touch. Allow leather to cool and peel it from the tray. Cut into strips. Wrap strips in waxed paper and store in covered container.

        Any fruit works and you can certainly use the oven to dehydrate. I'd recommend using a silicone mat as well so the leather peels right off after it's dried.

        I use an large Excaliber dehydrater but it does cost a bit more than the smaller ones.
