Directions

1. Preheat Oven:
   Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease an 8x8” baking dish with coconut oil or non-dairy butter.

2. Make the Cocoa Egg Mixture:
   In a mixing bowl, whisk together the non-dairy milk, eggs, Bare Life Hot Cocoa Mix, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and sweetener if using.

3. Layer It Up:
   Break the matza into smaller pieces and layer them in the greased baking dish. Pour the cocoa egg mix evenly over the matza, pressing down gently to make sure the pieces soak it up. Add any additional mix-ins, like chocolate chips.

4. Soak & Set:
   Let the whole dish sit for 10–15 minutes to allow the matza to fully absorb the mixture. (Optional: cover and refrigerate overnight for an easy morning bake.)

5. Bake:
   Bake uncovered for 30–35 minutes, or until set and the edges are slightly crisp.

6. Cool Slightly & Serve:
   Let it cool for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Add your favorite toppings and enjoy!
