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 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.
