Do you add nuts to brownies before or after it bakes?

Here's why:

* Texture: Adding nuts before baking allows them to get nice and toasty and crunchy. They also help create a bit of texture throughout the brownie.

* Flavor: The nuts will infuse their flavor into the brownie batter as they bake, adding depth and richness.

* Even Distribution: Mixing the nuts into the batter ensures they're distributed evenly throughout the brownie.

If you add nuts after baking, they'll be more likely to stay on top and you won't get that baked-in flavor and texture.
