What nuts work best in this recipe?
Almonds, walnuts, or pecans are great choices for adding crunch and flavor. You can even mix different types of nuts for added texture. If you have nut allergies, you can omit them altogether or replace them with seeds like sunflower or pumpkin seeds for a similar crunch.
