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
- 1 ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup cocoa
- ¾ cup potato starch
- 1 cup oil
- ½ cup ground nuts, optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F.
- Add all ingredients to a 9x13 inch shallow baking pan. Mix with a fork.
- Bake for about 50 minutes (all ovens may be different - check at the 45 minute mark - the brownies can take up to an hour).
Note: This recipe has been going around for years and we couldn’t find a source for it.
The original recipe is in the pesech 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 Pesach 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 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!
Can this be made without eggs?
How does adding ground nuts change the texture? I’m assuming it’s not a typo and it’s actually GROUND, not chopped nuts that are optional. I’m confused since ground nuts are often a substitute for flour, so I’m not sure how it can be optional.
thank you so much for posting! love this roundup and cant wait to try them!
just wanted to come back and post that I was in the hospital 2 times this yom tov on friday till late and on erev second days and since it was unexpected i had to give my teenage boys instructions or we would have ‘peanut butter and jelly for shabbos” they whisked 3 of these up for me by hand without calling me even once! It was so easy and I came into shabbos/yom tov with fresh smelling hot brownies and a pretty clean ktichen! Thanks
