A quick and easy Passover-friendly mandel bread with a crunchy exterior, tender crumb, toasted almonds, and melty chocolate chips. Perfect for festive gatherings or a cozy treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ½ cups (250g) almond flour
  • 3 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (50g) sliced almonds, toasted
  • ¾ cup (135g) semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet over medium heat until golden and nutty, about 3-4 minutes. Stir frequently to prevent burning. Remove from heat and let cool.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together almond flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt, and sugar until evenly combined.
  4. In a separate large bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy, then stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the eggs using a spatula, mixing gently until just combined. The batter will be thick and sticky.
  6. Fold in the toasted almonds and chocolate chips carefully to ensure even distribution.
  7. Transfer the batter onto the prepared baking sheet and shape it into a rough rectangle about 10×6 inches (25×15 cm) and 1 inch (2.5 cm) thick. Wet your hands slightly if the dough is sticky for easier shaping.
  8. Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the top is golden and firm to the touch.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Slice the loaf into ½ inch (1.3 cm) thick slices using a sharp serrated knife.
  10. Arrange the slices cut side down on the baking sheet and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes. Flip the slices and bake for another 8-10 minutes until both sides are golden and crisp.
  11. Transfer slices to a cooling rack and cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

Do not slice the mandel bread while hot to avoid crumbling. Toasting the almonds is essential for flavor. Avoid overbaking to prevent dryness. Use vegan chocolate chips for a dairy-free option. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
