There are plenty of tasty treats you can make without flour or yeast; you just have to be creative!

To complete this How-To you will need:

Matzo meal
Potato starch
Ground nuts
Chocolate
Caramel
Eggs
Sugar (optional)
Food processor or coffee grinder (optional)

Step 1: Know what’s not kosher

Know which ingredients are not allowed during Passover: wheat, rye, barley, spelt, and oats, meaning that most kinds of flour can’t be used. Leavening agents like yeast and baking powder are also a no-no.

Step 2: Learn substitutions

Learn how to make substitutions for forbidden ingredients, like a combination of matzo meal and potato starch in place of flour. Find substitution lists in kosher cookbooks and on kosher websites.

Tip: Avoid the common mistake of using too much matzo meal in dessert recipes; it makes them too heavy.

Step 3: Go nuts

Make desserts that rely on finely ground nuts to take the place of flour, or to serve as crust base for cheesecake.

Tip: Combine 1/3 cup of granulated sugar with a 1/2 teaspoon potato starch and blend them together in a food processor or coffee grinder to make kosher for Passover powdered sugar.

Step 4: Count on chocolate

Count on dark chocolate to save the day! Bake a delicious flourless chocolate cake, or make brownies using matzo meal or cake meal.

Tip: Turn plain matzo into delectable crunch bars with the addition of dark chocolate and caramel.

Step 5: Use egg whites

Make goodies that attain height and airiness from beaten egg whites rather than leavening agents, like a sponge cake, meringues, or macaroons.

Step 6: Focus on fruit

Focus on fruit-based desserts, like sorbets, honey-drizzled fruit with walnuts, or fruit compote.
