Isn’t this the brownies recipe that you always wanted for Pesach?
You’ve been looking for this brownies recipe. The one where there are no eggs to separate. The one where there’s no mixer needed. The one where there’s no chocolate to melt or chop. Just dump and mix. And we knew just what you needed. We used a shallow 9×13 as discussed here.
9x13 Pesach Brownies
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs

- ½ cup ground nuts, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add all ingredients to a 9x13 inch shallow baking pan. Mix with a fork.

Note: This recipe has been going around for years and we couldn’t find a source for it.
The original recipe is in the pasech nitra cookbook
i want to see what it looks like as a finished product??
Just added the photos back in. Thanks for reaching out.
Hi and thanks! Tried this and added one tsp baking soda and one teaspoon baking powder to the mixture and it came out heavenly! My family kept asking me, you sure this is not chometzdig?
We loved this pasach was huge hit!!
Wondering how to adapt it to chumitz. How much flour to potato starch?
I found that this amount of sugar was excessive, cutting down to 1 1/3 was perfect for us.
this was a lifesaver. Was so behind in my cooking. didnt think i’d get to cakes. Lined up 3 pans and voila!
I believe this is originally from the Nitra book. I’ve been making this recipe (passed down from my mom) for almost 20 years. Hers is the same thing doubled (8 eggs) which yields a higher cake but calls for a mixer. Was thrilled that I can skip the mixer and do it straight in the pan. Making it again for 2nd days since it was gone before first days were over…
These are incredible!! Thank you for something that didn’t require any cleanup and headed amazing!
*tasted amazing
Can you freeze this and serve it later? It sounds great!
Yes! All cakes and cookies can be frozen ahead of time.
Are these moist?
can I use extra large eggs?
Yes
Taste and texture was Amazing! I made a 9×13 and it was gone in one seuda! This never happens in my house! Thanks so much!
