Matthew Poole and continuators on Exodus 12:39

39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened : because they were thrust out of Egypt , and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victuals.

Both because leaven was forbidden to them at that time, and because the great haste required gave them not time for leavening it.

Not by force, but by importunate requests, as was observed on ver. 33. Thus men are said to be driven to worship the sun, moon, &c. when they are perswaded to it, Deut. 4. 19.
