Nuts make brownies so much worse (lemmy.world)

Inspired by the chocolate fruit post. I like brownies and I like most varieties of nuts and legumes but they're ruined when combined

I don't want some soft rocks in my smooth brownie. The chocolate flavor is so strong, you can't even really taste them. It just adds a bad mouth feel.

I do not understand why this is popular. Get em out of there!!

I looove some pecans and/or walnuts in my brownies, especially if toasted first. Disagree that you can't taste them and I like the textural variety.

If it's a texture thing for you, how do you feel about chocolate chips in your brownies?

    Not the OP but chocolate chips don’t belong in brownies! There’s already enough chocolate flavor in there. Why go overkill?

    I am also pro walnuts. They've not much flavour on their own, but when I make the exact same recipe without them, it's sweeter, too rich, but also unsatisfying. I end up eating more of them despite enjoying them less.

    With walnuts though, they're satisfying. I enjoy them more, and then I'm satisfied after a couple pieces. I think the fibre and fats in the nuts actually helps my body to 'see' the brownie as food in a way that hyper-processed flour and sugar can't be.
