We know you love all this one-pan stuff! Now you can make your cake and avoid washing any bowls… on Pesach too! Everyone loves these chocolate chip squares.

Pesach cakes seem like they take forever to make. Separate the eggs, beat the whites, wash… beat the yolks, wash… Lots of separating and washing.

At our past photoshoot, we were discussing, why couldn’t we have a recipe as simple and easy as our no-mixer oatmeal squares?

We could!

No Mixer Chocolate Chip Squares

Ingredients

1 cup sugar
2¼ cups almond flour
1 cup chocolate chips (or equivalent chopped chocolate)
½ tsp salt
½ tsp baking powder (optional)
2 eggs
½ cup oil

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F.
Combine all dry ingredients using a fork in a 9 x 13-inch pan (disposable is fine, see photo!). Add the wet ingredients and mix.
Bake for 25-35 minutes or until set. Let cool for 10 minutes. Cut into bars. Let cool fully.

UPDATE: So many people have made these chocolate chip bars, that we can now tell you all about the successful variations that they’ve tried:

One BCP reader used pecans, macadamia nuts, chopped chocolate, and raisins instead of chocolate chips. Yum!
Another BCP readers used ground almonds instead of almond flour and it also worked fine.
To make it a little healthier, one BCP reader used coconut sugar instead of sugar, as a straight out swap.
One BCP reader made this into a brownie version! Add 1/4 cup cocoa and 1 tablespoon vanilla sugar.
One BCP reader left out the baking powder and still had success. Another subbed with 1/2 the quantity of baking soda. All good.
Some are planning to serve these warm for dessert! Underbake and warm up, and serve with ice cream, hot chocolate sauce, and candied nuts.
Some BCP readers who have children with egg allergies substituted the eggs with 4 ounces applesauce.
One substituted half the almond flour with coconut flour and swapped the eggs for applesauce (and used a little less sugar since applesauce is sweet)…and still delicious! This recipe is so versatile!

Disclaimer: While 9×13 pans are a great convenient option, all of the recipes featured in this series can also be made in a non-disposable (i.e. glass, ceramic, or metal) baking pan (cooking/baking times may be a little shorter).

  I just experimented with quinoa flakes. But I also added some cake meal because I didn’t have enough. They came out great . I had to replace the eggs too with applesauce and the pan is already gone!

  Yes, however it will be much denser.

    The baking powder makes this non-passover friendly in the traditional sense… You may want to include a remark about that for folks who may not know.

  Due to nut and egg allergies I replaced the almond flour with 1 cup quinoa flakes and 1 cup cake meal. I replaced the 2 eggs with half a cup of applesauce. I used avocado oil.
  Amazing versatile recipe! Thank you!

These were delicious! I made 3 batches already in the last week! We did it with coconut sugar, organic eggs and extra light olive oil for a healthier version!

These are delicious! This is my first Pesach and I don’t have time to bake cookies so this is a perfect replacement! So fast and easy my 12 year old basically did it on her own.
Thanks!

I added 1/4 cup of brown sugar and they were delicious. Everyone at Passover loved them and Ive shared the recipe. Thank you

  Forgot to add I did this because I only had monk fruit sugar that wasn’t very sweet and had sugar free chocolate chips so the brown sugar added the sweetness I needed for others. When I shared the recipe, I just said add the sugar and brown sugar to equal the 1 cup needed for this recipe. I also doubled the recipe to have enough for a crowd.

Since you’re mixing everything in the baking pan, do you need to spray the pan first? Do the squares get struck to the pan after baking and cooling without any spray?

  No need to spray. It comes out easily from a disposible pan.

How does this one compare to your other 9×13 pesach sticks with potato starch? Are these better or those? Chas v’shalom I should have to make a decision. 😉 I love when you ladies just tell me which is best!
