About Walnuts

Chop to the size the recipe requests, then fill the cup without forcing the pieces down. If the wording says 'walnuts, chopped', measure the stated form before chopping when that is the recipe's intended order.

Walnuts add pieces of fat-rich crunch to dough and fillings. A finer chop spreads them more evenly but does not preserve the same cup weight, so keep the preparation consistent when scaling.

Tips for measuring Walnuts

  • Remove shell fragments before measuring.
  • Let toasted walnuts cool before adding them to dough.

Common mistakes

  • Using the chopped-walnut conversion for intact halves.
