I adore nuts, and it seems like the holidays are the perfect time to bring them out. Chocolate hazelnut tortes, pecan pies, banana bread studded with toasted walnuts. Problem is, I do have guests who have nut allergies and can't have any of these delicious treats. I do try to accommodate them with other desserts, but you can only have so many gingersnaps. Do you have any suggestions for ways to replace nuts in some holiday recipes, or great recipes that don't incorporate nuts? I could always substitute nuts with chocolate chips I suppose, but something is lost there. Thanks!
