Healthy Mango & Raspberry Fruity Rollups

This recipe has been sat in my "to publish" folder for so long that I can't even believe it. Seriously - we're talking about over one year here. But with the ever-approaching bikini season creeping up on us, I thought you guys might appreciate a healthy homemade snack recipe - and here it is! Easy to make, packed full of nutrients, totally portable and unbelievably delicious - what else could you want?

Healthy Mango & Raspberry Fruity Rollups Recipe - delicious homemade fruit leather which is really easy to make and packed full of goodness! | www.happyhealthymotivated.com

Although I've never been a fan of the store-bought version, homemade fruit leather is incredible addictive for me. When I first made these last year, I could not stop picking at them. Every time I went to the fridge, I simply had to have another fruity rollup! Which is really saying something, seeing as how I'm not a big fruit lover. Honestly - I'd rather have a cup of steamed broccoli than a handful of strawberries. Weird, right?

Although I'd love to take credit for this recipe, I can't - it was inspired by this healthy homemade mango fruit roll ups recipe from Just a Taste. When I saw how easy it was to make my own fruit leather at home, I just had to give it a go - and I'm so glad I did! If you're not 100% convinced about a fruit leather recipe which only includes one ingredient (how can a recipe only include one ingredient?!) put your reservations to one side and just give it a go!

I'm sure you can follow this recipe and use any fruit at all - you don't have to stick to mango or raspberry. Strawberry, apple, possibly even banana? Not totally sure on the last one, but I'd give it a go anyway. Just keep one thing in mind, if you make this homemade fruit leather with raspberries or strawberries, the resulting healthy snack will be packed full of pips - unless you've got the patience to pick them all out!

What fruit do you plan on using to make your homemade fruit leather?

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 4 hours
Total Time: 4 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 cups diced mango or raspberries fresh or defrosted

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 175F/80C and line one large baking tray with parchment paper or a non-stick mat.
  • Place the fruit of your choice into a food processor and blend for 2-3 minutes until completely smooth.
  • Spread the blended fruit into the lined pan using a spatula. Try and get it as thin as you can.
  • Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for 3-4 hours, until the blended fruit is dry and you can bend it. If the underside of the fruit is wet or tacky, flip the whole fruity layer over and bake on the other side until dry.
  • Remove the fruity rollups from the oven and place a clean sheet of wax paper on top. Pull off the parchment paper and roll the fruity rollups and wax paper together into one long sausage.
  • Slice the fruity rollup into thin spirals and enjoy.

Notes

To store, place these fruity rollups inside a sealed container and keep in the fridge for up to one week.

    These look lovely and so much healthier than the shop versions, my kids love fruit rollups so a home made option is great. I've just started a new linky party if you were interested in joining in called #FamilyBakes&Makes? This sort of easy recipe is exactly the sort of thing that would fit in.

  2. Kristen @ Musings of an Average Mom

    These homemade fruit roll ups sound super yummy - and this recipe sounds so much easier than using a dehydrator. Thanks for sharing. Found from What'd You Do This Weekend

  3. Sadhna Grover

    Very nice and yummy recipe, I would love to try them. Are they crunchy or soft, when ready to eat. Came through What'd do you do do this weekend.

  4. Lara

    I really need to try this. I've always been afraid to try the fruit leather because I'm convinced that will be one of those Pinterest fails. Ha

  5. Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg

    Nicola - I didn't realize how easy fruit leather was to make. I love that these are portable and can be taken on the run. These would be my go-to beach snack. 🙂

  6. Krissy @ Pretty Wee Things

    I need to buy a non stick mat! Pronto! I have tried to make these before but baking paper was a disaster! Saving this recipe for later! xxx
