Passover Granola
I am posting this again, because it is still my favorite and I have been receiving requests. More Pesach posting to come!
This is my favorite Pesach recipe. I got it from “Stove Tops Personal Chef Service” several years ago when speaking about Pesach at a local Hadassah meeting.
I have talked about the Pesach granola so much that everyone is tired of hearing about it. But it is easy to make, yummy to eat and with yogurt is a million times better than pesach cereal for breakfast.
You can substitute or omit most of the ingredients. I recommend mixing it right in the pan you bake it in. My hope is I am giving you enough time to buy the ingredients.
If you make it, PLEASE post a comment.
Ingredients:
4 c. matzo farfal, or broken up pieces of matzo
1 c. slivered almonds
1 c. dried raisins/cranberries
1 1/2 c. sweetened, shredded coconut
2 tsps cinnamon
2/3 c. veg. oil
1 c. honey
2 tsps Kosher salt
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Toss the matzo, almonds, fruit, coconut and cinnamon together in a large bowl ( I do it in an aluminum pan I am baking in). Pour the oil and honey over the mixture. Stir until the mixture is thoroughly coated. Add the Kosher salt and toss.
Spray pan with non-stick spray ( usually don’t do this step.) Pour mixture onto the sheet pan. Bake, stirring occasionally with a spatula, until the mixture turns a nice, even, golden brown, about 25-30 minutes.
Remove the granola and cool on the sheet pan. Stir occasionally as it cools. Store the granola in an airtight container.
Variations: you can add chocolate chips when cool, add more dried fruit, change or add more nuts.
I just made it! Too hot to touch just yet. This is remarkably similar to my regular homemade granola recipe (courtesy of the Barefoot Contessa, which davka* always seems to be the one show I watch at the gym)
*I’m so proud of myself. Appropriate davka usage! Go me!
First batch somehow got burned after the fact. Second time around (with dried apricot) was much much better!
burned after the fact? How did that happen? Did you stir it while cooling?
Yeah. Don’t know how that happened. I ate some of the first batch right out of the oven, and it was fine. Two days later it acquired a burnt taste. No idea. Maybe it was the pan? Or the bottom layer? Mystery.
Glad the second batch was better. Have you tried it with yogurt yet?
Hi Rachel! This is Carly and Talia (we slept at your house over Pesach). We were thinking about you, your family and your granola and are so glad we found the recipe! Hope all is well!
