I agree with this one. A moist pure brownie is the best. If I want some other texture, I'd put dark chocolate chips.

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?

Brownies, banana bread, and ice cream too.

Nuts are delicious but almost always only by themselves. Nuts inside of things usually only makes the nuts and the things worse.

I'm not really big on nuts in chocolate brownies. It's a texture thing. I don't like the soft but hard thing.

However I make browned butter and bourbon blondies with toasted pecans and they add a lot of flavor.

I agree and feel the same about ice cream. I wish I could eat pistachio ice cream without the actual pistachios.

Nuts in brownies are an abomination.

Nuts in cookies are just terrible.

Nuts in a snickers bar are tolerable.

I agree. Simply because I prefer chewy brownies and don't want any crunch. I don't even like the edges, and I know those are more popular than the middle cuts because a hot ticket kitchen item has been the all edge brownie pan.

Seems like a pretty popular opinion, judging by these comments. Personally I struggle to think of anything that isn't improved by adding nuts, both on the savoury and sweet side of things.

Have you tried nuts on brownies?

Strongly disagree. Have an upvote.

The secret is to make them yourself. Then they’re exactly how you like.

Not a fan of nuts in a lot of things. I don’t put nuts in brownies, banana bread, or cookies. If someone has a preference for them, I’ll separate out part of the recipe and add nuts at the end. Some things they do belong in, like an almond croissant, and that's fine.

Yes, yes, one thousand times yes! I understand sometimes putting nuts on top of something, but when they are mixed in to a brownie or cake or bread they ruin the texture. People who mix nuts into their baking are sociopaths.

Cronch good

If nuts make brownies worse, then that would imply that brownies are already bad (as a starting point). Bad => worse

Incidentally, I agree with the premise that nuts do not belong in brownies.

You're right.
