Here Is The Full Viral Recipe For Fruit Leather By Blogger Carleigh Bodrug:

Ingredients:

• 3 cups berries
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 2 tbsp maple syrup (optional)

Method:

1. Preheat the oven to 175F (80 degrees Celsius) and line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat.
2. Add all ingredients to a blender and combine until the mixture becomes smooth and velvety.
3. Transfer the mixture onto the baking sheet, and using a flat spatula, spread out into a rectangle shape. Ensure the edges are thicker than the center, as they will dry quicker.
4. Store rolled in wax paper or parchment as desired.
