Matzo Granola for Passover or Anytime

Beth Lee
Matzo granola is such a fun addition to your Pesach menu or a great way to use up that last box of matzo lingering when the holiday is over. Eat as a snack or breakfast or dessert topping - kids from 2 - 102 will love it!

Notes

  1. Make your own farfel! It's easy and will save you a lot of money!
  2. Experiment with sweeteners if you'd like. I already suggest maple syrup or honey. You can also try date syrup or agave.
  3. Have fun with your add-ins. Try different seeds and nuts. You can add dried fruit after the matzo granola comes out of the oven. Or even chocolate chips!
  4. This recipe will easily double so make extra to last for the whole holiday!
