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!!

    If it’s just for blander flavour, why not using saw dust? No reason poisoning good food with nuts tree turds.

      Hmm, I’m not sure my gut’s microbiome would recognise the sawdust as digestible food and trigger actual satiation hormones. Nor would my brain recognise any protein chains associated with nutrition while my mouth broke it down. Digestive systems detect so much complicated information, you have to work at it to trick them. There’s something nutritious in the walnuts that my system really likes and is noticeably glad to eat.

      If your system doesn’t need whatever walnuts would provide, perhaps your own baking needs a different alternative… Would you prefer some Omega-3 rich fish oil instead, make those brownies extra fudgy? :P

        Just get used to it. When I was young I’d been grateful for some saw dust! All we got was coal dust back then and we had to walk three miles through the snow for it.
