Lactose Free Strawberry Fruit Leather
Few snacks hit that sweet-tart spot quite like homemade fruit leather, and this strawberry version is genuinely hard to stop eating. Two pounds of fresh strawberries get blended with honey, bright lemon juice, and an optional whisper of Ceylon cinnamon before being spread thin and slow-dried in the oven until perfectly pliable. The whole process is naturally free of any dairy — no butter, no cream, no hidden milk solids — so it works beautifully without any substitutions or workarounds. The low-and-slow oven method is the real secret here: patience at 170°F coaxes the purée into a uniformly matte, chewy sheet that peels cleanly and rolls up into tidy, snackable strips. Store-bought versions often sneak in additives or come with vague ingredient labels, but this one is exactly what it looks like — just fruit, honey, and a squeeze of lemon. It's a fantastic lunchbox treat, a road-trip staple, or honestly just a satisfying afternoon snack straight off the parchment.

Instructions

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.
