Passover Berry Crisp Recipe

It's that time of year again when the Jews trade in their beloved bread and carbs for matzah and bitter herbs to remember our escape from Egypt. Add some enjoyment to your Seder with this yummy and healthy Passover Dessert Recipe. (I found this recipe on Pinterest, and altered it to be my own!)

Ingredients:
4 cups sliced strawberries
1-1/2 cups blueberries
1/2 cup sugar (or Splenda)
"Sprinkle" of cinnamon
Pam cooking spray

1/2 matzah meal
1/3 cup sugar (or Splenda)
1/4 cup almonds
2 tablespoons margarine (melted)

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350
Spray an 11x7 baking dish with cooking spray.

In a large bowl, toss strawberries, blueberries, 1/2 cup sugar (or Splenda), and cinnamon. Spoon into dish.

In a different bowl, stir matzah meal, 1/3 cup sugar (Splenda), almonds, and margarine together. Sprinkle over berry mixture.

Bake on 350 for about 35-40 mins.

Yields 8 servings.
4 WW points with sugar per serving
2 WW points with Splenda per serving

*Honestly, the sugar and Splenda versions taste very similar. I made the sugar version for our Seder tomorrow and the Splenda version to enjoy all week long!

Happy Passover!

-Note, to enjoy this recipe year round (or if you're not Jewish), swap the matzah meal for flour or even heart smart bisquick!

  2. Thank you for the comment, and thanks so much for reading! I altered a matzoh granola recipe that turned out well with matzoh, nuts and honey. I'll post that recipe this week. Happy Passover!
