I am always in shock at how many people are searching for new Passover breakfast ideas. I think the problem is that a lot of people are afraid to think outside of the box...the box of Passover pancake or muffin mix. There are so many creative ways to prepare delicious Passover breakfasts that do not involve a boxed mix. Just like our Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins, and Spiced Pumpkin Muffins, this recipe is not only super tasty but healthy.

We do have some more involved recipes for Passover breakfasts and this is not one of them. This recipe is healthy and it is so quick and simple that you will most likely save it for use when it is not Passover too.

Ingredients in Gluten Free Passover Pancakes

As the recipe name suggests, these are not matzo meal pancakes and contain no matzo meal mixture. Leave the matzo cake meal for another recipe. So here is what's in them:

  • Almond flour is the base of the Passover pancake. Just like our Pumpkin Muffins with Almond Flour, this takes the place of wheat flour during Passover.
  • Cottage cheese is the secret ingredient. It acts as a binder and when it cooks, it browns and gives the pancake a sweet, tart flavor that can't really be found anywhere else.
  • Eggs make the recipe fluffy and airy. This recipe uses the egg yolks and the egg whites.
  • Oil. For Passover, we like to keep lots of olive oil on hand but you can use safflower oil or coconut oil as well. Stay away from cottonseed oil if you can.
  • This recipe uses white sugar but you can also try brown sugar to give the pancakes a deeper flavor.
  • Vanilla extract for flavor.
  • Passover baking powder to help the pancake rise.
  • Salt.

The Best Passover Pancake Recipe FAQ

Can you use baking powder on Passover?

The problem with using just any old baking powder on Passover is that a lot of them have corn starch and are forbidden by most Ashkenazi authorities. Luckily there are kosher for Passover baking powders that do not use corn starch. Always make sure that your Passover baking powder is approved for Passover use. A great resource for this is the OU Passover Guide.

Can I make this recipe without eggs?

You can certainly try this recipe by substituting mashed bananas or apple sauce for the eggs. I have not tried this but the taste should still be amazing. If you have other substitution ideas we would love to hear about them in the comments section of this post.

What do you eat for breakfast on Passover?

There are so many great Passover breakfast recipes and this is one of our favorites. We like to serve it with a selection of fresh fruits like blueberries, strawberries, and bananas.

Can you eat pancakes on Passover?

The pancakes you eat year round usually have wheat flour in them which turns into chometz and is not allowed on Passover. These pancakes do not use any wheat flour and are chometz and gluten free and are very much kosher for Passover!

What are some fun ways to serve kosher for Pesach pancakes?

Some of our favorites ways to eat gluten free Passover pancakes are with:
-butter and powdered sugar
-chocolate syrup and berries
-raspberry coulis
-apricot jam

      You can try using vegan yogurt in place of the cottage cheese, but we have not done this before. Let us know how it turns out.

      If you double it, don't double the salt.
      Tastes surprisingly sweet, we were happy with how they came out. Best results on low heat. Takes patience, but it's worth it.
