Banana Bread Granola
Recipe by Lori Hoch Stiefel with inspiration from The Minimalist Baker’s “Simple Grain Free Granola”
Ingredients
- 3 cups matzah farfel, or broken up pieces of matzah
- 1 cup walnuts (or any nuts that you like)
- 1/2 cup pecans (or any nuts that you like)
- 3 tbsp sugar (any type, white works well)
- 1/2 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tbsp cinnamon ( you can add in other warming spices like ginger and nutmeg)
- 1 tbsp flax seed
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/3 cup + 1 tbsp agave syrup (maple or honey work well too)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 medium ripe banana, mashed (~1/2 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the matzah, cinnamon, sugar, salt, flaxseed, and nuts. Stir well to evenly distribute the ingredients.
- Make the Wet Mixture: In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, warm the coconut oil, maple syrup (or agave/honey), and vanilla extract. Stir occasionally until fully melted and combined.
- Incorporate the Banana Puree: Remove the saucepan from heat and whisk in the banana puree until smooth and well blended.
- Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the warm liquid mixture over the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir thoroughly to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Spread and Bake: Evenly spread the mixture onto one or two baking sheets, making sure it’s not overcrowded to allow for even crisping.
- Bake to Perfection: Place in the oven and bake for 23-28 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on it, as the coconut oil helps it crisp up but can cause it to brown quickly.

Passover-Friendly Egg Noodles
https://pjlibrary.org/beyond-
Passover can make mealtime tricky, especially with picky eaters who love pasta and pitas. But if noodles are a staple in your house, you don’t have to skip them for the holiday. Make protein-packed, egg-based “noodles” with this recipe that work in soup, with tomato sauce, or topped with cheese and butter. They’re a great way to keep a favorite on the menu while adding extra protein during the holidays (or year-round).
Charoset
https://pjlibrary.org/beyond-
One of the items on a Passover seder plate, charoset (pronounced chah-ROE-set) symbolizes the mortar Jewish slaves used for making bricks in Egypt. It may look a bit like mortar, but it sure doesn’t taste like it. Every family has a special take on charoset — some add a little spice, some include nuts, and others mix in pears or crabapples. At the link above, you’ll find two delicious recipes from different Jewish cultural traditions.
