Here’s a tasty way to transform matzoh into two versatile treats you can enjoy morning, noon, or night. Whether you’re craving bright lemon-berry flavor or classic banana chocolate chip, these Passover-friendly muffins are lightly sweet, easy to make, and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or dessert.
So, you survived the seders - the 10 plagues - the 4 glasses of wine - the 4 questions - the brisket - the kugels - the macaroons . . . and of course, 5 boxes of matzah to boot. And your kids are screaming, “Mom, matzah and butter, again?!!” But, you still have quite a few days of Passover to go, so what’s a poor mom to do?
