Directions

Combine all of the ingredients in a food processor.
Blend well for 5 minutes and until all ingredients are thoroughly combined, stopping periodically to push the batter from the sides. After its blended, use a spatula and fold in chocolate chips, if desired.
Pour the batter into the prepared pan. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool 8 to 10 minutes. Refrigerate so the brownies develop a rm texture.

The Forward is free to read, but it isn’t free to produce

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.

Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.

At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.

Readers like you make it all possible. We’re near the end of our Passover Fundraising Drive, and we have a very ambitious goal of $127,000 by April 21.

This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a Passover gift today!
