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!!

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.
Ok but adding things to things and mixing different things is how we get variety. You may not like it but brownies with nuts or anything else added is all part of the process my dude.
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?
Not the OP but chocolate chips don’t belong in brownies! There’s already enough chocolate flavor in there. Why go overkill?
Sign me up for overkill! Plus there can be flavor variety, have the chips be a darker or lighter chocolate than the brownie.
Enough… chocolate… What is that? Ridiculous notion
Burn the heretic!
Walnuts ftw.
Or pecans. Basically a softer walnut
Toasted first is the key!
Same with quick breads (pumpkin with pecans is divine).
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.
Have you tried nuts on brownies?
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.
Nuts ruin almond croissants: change my view.
Nuts are delicious but almost always only by themselves. Nuts inside of things usually only makes the nuts and the things worse.
Nuts in brownies are an abomination.
Nuts in cookies are just terrible.
Nuts in a snickers bar are tolerable.

True I hate him the most
I agree and feel the same about ice cream. I wish I could eat pistachio ice cream without the actual pistachios.
I didn’t even think of this but yes absolutely. And on cakes
Nah, Macadamia ice cream were its about 25% actual Macadamia nuts is my favourite

I didn’t know stating an opinion was universal statement.

Yes, which is a subjective opinion that they have. Glad you understand

It’s their opinion, they can phrase it however they want. It is their mindset, they are not asserting it as a universal mindset. That’s you reading too much into what they are saying.
Guess you don’t understand shit.
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.
Strongly disagree. Have an upvote.
Cronch good
You’re right.
