Passover Granola

Cultural Context

Passover Granola is a delightful twist on traditional granola, adapted for the Jewish holiday of Passover. During this time, leavened products are avoided, making matzah a perfect base for this crunchy snack. The granola is often enjoyed during the holiday as a nutritious breakfast or snack, celebrating the spirit of Passover with wholesome ingredients. Today, variations abound, with many incorporating local nuts and dried fruits, making it a beloved treat beyond the holiday season.
