Gelatin Free Strawberry Fruit Leather
Chewy, sweet, and bursting with real strawberry flavor, this homemade fruit leather is the kind of snack that disappears fast — whether you're packing lunchboxes or just need something to grab off the counter. So many store-bought fruit snacks and roll-ups rely on gelatin as a binder or stabilizer, which makes finding a clean option genuinely tricky. This version skips all of that entirely, relying on nothing but fresh strawberries, honey, and a splash of lemon juice to set into a perfectly pliable sheet in your own oven. The lemon juice brightens the berry flavor and helps the purée dry evenly, while the low-and-slow oven method does all the work without any additives. A touch of Ceylon cinnamon is optional but adds a warm, subtle depth that makes it feel a little more grown-up. Once it's cooled and cut into strips, each piece rolls up neatly in parchment — ready to snack on now or stash for later.

- ¼ tsp ground ceylon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 170°F (77°C), or as low as your oven will go (no higher than 200°F / 93°C). Line an 18x13-inch rimmed baking sheet with a silicone baking mat. If using parchment paper, lightly coat it with a thin film of coconut oil to prevent sticking.

Combine the hulled strawberries, honey, lemon juice, and Ceylon cinnamon, if using, in a blender or food processor. Blend on high until completely smooth, about 60 seconds, with no visible fruit chunks remaining.
