Joanie's Pesach Brownies

My family always complained that baked goods that were kosher for Passover tasted terrible, so I took my regular brownie recipe and created a flour and leavening-free version that tastes just as good as the non-Passover version!

Ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• 1 cup white sugar
• ½ cup butter
• ½ cup chopped walnuts (Optional)
• 2 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate, chopped
• ½ cup potato starch
• 3 tablespoons matzo meal
• ½ cup semisweet chocolate chips (Optional)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease an 8x8 inch square pan.

Step 2

Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the unsweetened chocolate. Set aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer for about 5 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, and pour in the chocolate and butter, then stir in the vanilla. In a separate bowl, stir together the matzo meal, potato starch and salt. Use a spoon to stir into the chocolate mixture until well blended. Mix in the walnuts or chocolate chips if using. Pour into the prepared pan and spread evenly.

Step 4

Bake for 25 minutes in the preheated oven, until the brownies are dry on top and begin to pull away from the sides.
