Best Nuts To Substitute Pecans
Walnuts are my favorite alternative. However, you can also use hazelnuts or shelled pistachios to substitute pecans in both sweet and savory dishes. Swap them for pecans in a simple 1:1 exchange.
Best Nut-Free Options To Substitute Pecans
Sunflower seeds can be used to substitute pecans in baked goods for a wonderfully crunchy texture. Start off with only using ½-¾ of the amount of pecans you would need and then adjust from there.
