I recently had the opportunity to pick some ripe plums from a friend’s tree. Lucky me!
What to do? What to do?
Eric said I should make some jam…
Then, I remembered my dehydrator. I’ve never made fruit leather!
It’s so easy! I just pureed the pitted plums with a couple bananas and poured the “smoothie” onto the ParaFlexx dehydrator sheets:
After about 6 hours dehydrating at 135 degrees, I had my own tangy fruit leather. How fun!
This is a great snack to take with us mountain biking. 🙂
Remember this, folks– the only acceptable “leather” is plant-based!
I make this recipe ALL the time. My favorite nut butter to use is Once Again’s Sunflower Butter. I get the one without added sugar and salt. I eat this stuff a spoonful at a time when I feel a little rumble in my belly. You can also use peanut butter or almond butter.
Dry Ingredients:
1/3 C EACH – millet, quinoa, brown rice & garbanzo bean flours
1/2 C ground GF oats
1/4 C rolled GF oats
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
1/2 t salt
1 t cinnamon
“Wet” Ingredients:
2 large bananas, mashed
1/2 C nut butter (sunflower, peanut, almond)
1/4 C evaporated cane juice (granulated vegan sugar)
**scant 1/3 C unsweetened applesauce (3 cubes – see note)
1/3 C non-dairy milk
1 T organic canola oil
1 t vanilla
Raw vegan sugar
Combine the dry and “wet” ingredients separately, then mix together. Spoon into 12 muffin liners. Sprinkle 1/8 t raw sugar on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 23 minutes.
** This equates to 3 frozen ice cubes of applesauce. I freeze applesauce in ice cube trays so that I always have small amounts of applesauce on hand. Thaw.

Oct 7, 2013 recipe modifications:
I used 1/4 C ground flax + 1/4 C ground oats instead of 1/2 C ground oats.
I used 3 bananas instead of 2.
I used 1/4 C strawberry jam instead of sugar.
I omitted the applesauce and the oil.
