Passover Granola
Description
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 matzo sheets crumbled into small pieces
- 1/2 cup (75g) of mixed unsalted nuts (I used almonds, pecans, cashews, and hazelnuts)
- a dash of salt (only if you are using unsalted nuts)
- 1 Tablespoon sesame seeds optional
- 4 Tablespoons (60ml) coconut oil or vegetable oil
- 1 Tablespoon (10g) brown sugar or granulated sugar
- 4 Tablespoons (60g) honey
Optional mix-ins (after the granola has completely cooled)
- chocolate chips
- unsweetened coconut flakes
- mixed dried fruit, such as cranberries or raisins
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix the matzo, nuts, salt, and sesame seeds (optional) in a large bowl, then set aside.
- Place oil, sugar, and honey in a medium saucepan. Place over medium-low heat and cook until everything is melted and the mixture is well combined.
- Pour over the dry ingredients and stir until well combined.
- Spread the mixture evenly onto your prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, stirring and checking every 5-7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when the granola is golden brown and let cool completely. The granola will further crisp up as it cools.
- Use your hands to break up any larger clusters. Store in an airtight container.

Great Idea
Thank you

YUM
Great recipe
thank you
Loved it. So easy and delicious. Why do you say to add raisins once it cools and not before cooking? What about chocolate chips? They don’t stick to the granola once cooled.
Thanks for the recipe- so good!
Dried fruits, such as raisins, dried cranberries, or dried apricots, contain natural sugars that can become overly dry and hard when exposed to high heat during baking. Adding them after baking helps to preserve their natural moisture and keep them soft and chewy in the finished granola.
Chocolate chips are a great addition! YUM
And thank you for your comment! Chag Samach
