Nuts

Nuts, such as cashews and almonds, work well as a swap for chocolate chips when you want to reduce the amount of sugar while maintaining flavor. These protein-rich snacks give cookies, brownies, cakes, and other baked goods a delightful crunch in addition to a salty and nutty flavor. Having said that, a vast variety of nuts are available, and with that comes a range of flavors and tastes, even though most nuts offer a satisfying crunch.

For instance, cashews and almonds are gentler in flavor than peanuts, which have a distinctive flavor that is rather intense and overbearing. Different nuts will work better than others depending on what you are preparing. One of the nicest things about using nuts in place of chocolate chips is that you can bake them right into your baked products or use them as a decorative topping for texture and appearance.
