Nuts are an incredible way to level-up many different baked goods. Many brownies, cookies, muffins, and so much more taste even better with nuts. Adding nuts to baked goods is a great idea because they add crunch and a nutty flavor. If you’re considering adding nuts to your baked goods, here are some of the best nuts to bake with.
Walnuts
Walnuts are one of the most popular nuts to bake with because they toast quickly and add a mild, buttery flavor. Walnuts can pretty much be used in any type of baked good including cakes, cookies, and breads. We recommend trying them in your banana bread! They add such a good flavor, plus it doesn’t hurt to add a little crunch to an otherwise soft bread.
Pecans
Surely you’ve heard of pecan pie, so it’s no surprise that pecans are also great for baking. They have a super rich flavor when you bake them, which makes them a great addition to many recipes. Pair pecans with anything pumpkin-flavored and it’s sure to be a crowd favorite.
Almonds
Almonds are amazing for baking. They have a slightly sweet flavor, making any baked good just a little sweeter! Adding slivered almonds for a crunch factor is super popular in baking as well!
