Passover Matzoh Granola with Honey and Raisins

April 7, 2017 12 Comments

Print Friendly, PDF & Email

This will be the first year in as long as I can remember that I am not going home to Boston for Passover. I’ve always loved Passover (despite the whole not eating bread for 8 days thing) because, for me, it’s always meant a big gathering of friends and family. On the first two nights of Passover it is customary to host or attend a seder, which is the Jewish dinner that marks the beginning of the eight days of Passover.

Passover begins at sunset this coming Monday, April 10th. For the first time, Travis and I will be hosting our own Passover seder at our apartment. I am both nervous and excited!

I’m nervous because for my entire life my Mom has always made the traditional Jewish feast, so cooking a lot of these dishes is new for me. I’ll be making a few of her recipes, and I want to make sure I do them justice. And I’m excited because in some sense it marks the beginning of Travis and I starting our own Jewish traditions together here in Los Angeles.

Every year my mom makes this delicious Matzoh Granola. To be honest, I like it even more than regular granola, and I always ask her to pack me a bag of it to bring back to Los Angeles. (I usually end up devouring most of it on the plane, though…)

I finally tried my hand at making her Passover Matzoh Granola for myself, but made a few healthy tweaks, of course. I used whole wheat matzoh in this recipe, but you’re welcome to substitute it with gluten-free or regular matzoh if that’s what you have on hand. The spices and vanilla extract add lots of sweetness without the added calories, which is a great bonus.

I know I am going to have to make another batch of this Matzoh Granola before Passover is over because Travis and I have already made a good dent in it!

If you make this recipe, let me know how you like it! It’s a great way to use up leftover matzoh from your seder, too.

    Something that I love about Passover and many of the Jewish holidays is that they are so steeped in tradition, and that includes the food. The whole atmosphere is so connected to previous and future generations! This is a great twist on the classics!

    O yum! It has been on my “to-do” to try my hand at some gluten-free/vegan matzoh so I can enjoy some once again!

      You should! I’m sure it’s not that hard actually. Basically a GF/Vegan cracker that doesn’t rise?

    I love homemade granola but I’ve never had it with matzoh. It sounds fantastic 🙂
