These aren’t really 1-1 substitutions. Hoping someone has experience with a specific one that works well and doesn’t taste like matzah.

Anything that will rise in the recipe isn’t going to be allowed. You can’t substitute the way you are thinking.

Thanks- I guess that’s the answer I need. I do the matzah toffee and flourless cake and all the usual suspects. My kid was making a list of activities for herself for next week and she was expecting to do a lot of baking so I was hoping that could help.

How strict are you about Passover? Is all chametz removed from your house? Baked goods tend to freeze really well and Passover is only 8 days. If you’re okay with your kid baking with chametz during the holiday as long as she’s not eating it until after Passover, let her bake and just freeze the items.

I make cheesecake but instead of graham crackers I use almonds. Put them in a food processor and then I add butter and a little sugar.

I make the other desserts mentioned here. I think we all need to move beyond the matzo meal based desserts. They all have that “gross matzo taste.” Matzo itself doesn’t have that flavor, but anything made with matzo meal does.

Don't try to sub and make a non Passover recipe when there are so many yummy Passover things to make

I agree with the first part of your sentence, but not the last We all try to convince ourselves that matzoh crunch and macaroons are yummy but they can’t compare to non-passover desserts!

Then you're making the wrong things. Dark chocolate fondue makes even the crappy store bough macaroons better, but there's nothing like a homemade macaroon. Talk to others who do Passover and ask for their best recipes

Baked goods depend on the rise. They aren’t going to work with no rise.

She can make matzoh crack, or homemade ice cream, or macaroons, or fruit compote to go with ice cream, or candies.

There are better ways to make a passover dessert. Pick something that doesn't rely on flour rather than trying to substitute. ice cream and matzah crack is a good option. Or I love fruit crumbles where the topping is crushed macaroons and butter. A flourless chocolate cake is nice too.

I have cookies in mind right now but would like something versatile so I don’t have to buy several.

What are you making specifically? Different substitutes work for various recipes. e.g. almond flour, coconut flour, rice flour, buckwheat flour, potato starch, arrowroot, tapioca

Is there a (good) Passover flour substitute that’s a 1-1 replacement so I can use a regular recipe I have?
