Nuts and seeds add crunch, flavor, and healthy fats to baked goods. Toasting intensifies their flavor. Nut flours like almond flour create gluten-free options. Store nuts properly to prevent rancidity.
Essential Tips
Toast nuts at 350°F for 8-10 minutes to enhance flavor
Store nuts in the freezer to prevent them from going rancid
Nut flours cannot directly replace wheat flour
Chop nuts by hand for better texture than food processor
