Looking for something to do with extra walnuts? You've come to the right place. From sweet treats (we love this Berry-and-Walnut French Toast Casserole, and these Miso Walnut Sticky Buns are divine) to savory salads and soups (may we suggest Chicken Barley Soup with Walnut Pesto?) to filling entrees (Pan-Seared Shrimp with Walnut and Herb Gremolata is a meal fit for company), you're going to want to save this collection of our best recipes with walnuts.

Stuffed Celery with Cream Cheese and Walnuts Recipe

For Test Kitchen director Robby Melvin, it’s not Thanksgiving until his Granny’s “old-school” relish tray hits the table. Her celery sticks stuffed with cream cheese are a multi-generational favorite. While it’s hard to improve upon a classic, he used her recipe as inspiration when creating this delicious version.

Incorporating instant mashed potato flakes into this foolproof sticky bun dough is the secret behind their incredibly moist, tender texture. Meanwhile, using a bit of bread flour, in addition to all-purpose, helps provide structure and height.

Berry-and-Walnut French Toast Casserole Recipe

This overnight casserole saves you the trouble of standing over a griddle flipping individual slices of French toast. If using a fresh baguette, cut it up the day before, and let it sit in the bag overnight to become slightly stale—that'll help prevent sogginess when the casserole is baked.

Instant Pot Pumpkin Spice Candied Walnuts Recipe

Yet another way to enjoy pumpkin spice this season. Gift these to friends as a festive treat, or enjoy them yourself with an autumnal beer. Make sure to use pure maple syrup, as pancake syrup will taste artificial and will likely overwhelm the spiced flavor.

A few pantry staples—apple cider vinegar, dry mustard, and paprika—turn this traditional side into something spectacular. Be careful not to over-reduce the glaze; it should have a thin, syrupy texture.

Orange-Walnut Coffee Cake Recipe

A tall cup of joe knows no better match than a wedge of coffee cake. But standard coffee cake can be a lot first thing in the morning. To build a better breakfast cake that won’t send you into midmorning nap mode, we start by building a whole-grain base bolstered with warm spices and brightened up with citrus juice and zest.

Banana-Walnut Bread Recipe

We like the nutty flavor of roasted walnut oil; if you can’t find it, though, you can use regular walnut oil for more subtle walnut notes. Freeze extra slices with wax or parchment paper between them. Reheat in the toaster oven on dark toast setting, or broil 1 to 2 minutes per side.

An evergreen, everyday pesto will perk up pastas and pizzas when fresh basil is no longer in season. The warmth from the toasted walnuts will help the sauce emulsify; don't skip this step. Try the sauce on seared salmon or chicken.

Habanero peppers are fiery hot, so handle them carefully. In this dish, you simply pierce the chile with a fork and float it in the broth as the soup cooks. Remove it with a slotted spoon before serving. If you prefer milder heat, use the same technique with a jalapeño.

Pear, Olive, and Walnut Chutney

Pear, Olive, and Walnut Chutney Recipe

This savory-sweet chutney is tangy, sweet, full of spice, and offers a deliciously surprising salty bite with the castelvetrano olives—in other words, it’s the perfect fall condiment. While this spread tastes complex and sophisticated, it’s actually deceptively easy to whip up. Using an equal amount of sweet (brown sugar) and tart (vinegar) is a traditional blend in a chutney that balances the cooked fruit and spices. We love it served simply—generously slathered over a slice of warm, crusty bread, such as our No-Knead Lightly Rye Bread; however, this pear chutney is equally delicious used as a topper for meat, poultry, and even yogurt.

Traditional chiles en nogada use a pork filling, but hibiscus flowers--typically used in a tart drink--make a surprisingly hearty filling. You can find them at Mexican grocers and specialty stores like Trader Joe's. Mexican cooks often use fresh green walnuts, briefly available in autumn, which have a creamier texture and less bitterness

The unique candy roaster squash may be a regional North Georgia specialty, but the heirloom gourd can be found across the Southeast.

Roasted Asparagus with Walnuts, Parmesan, and Cherry Tomatoes Recipe

Serve with grilled flank steak or chicken breasts, and you'll have a fantastic weeknight dinner. Use asparagus that are medium-thick for this recipe--not pencil-thin spears. If you'd like to try this with a raw tomato sauce (especially when the fruits are at peak sweetness), just decrease water to 1 tablespoon and process all sauce ingredients together. For a less expensive and equally savory alternative to Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, try sheep's milk pecorino Romano.

Apricot and Walnut Rugelach Recipe

It's not a proper celebration of the festival of lights without a batch of rugelach. This classic Jewish cookie which is typically served during Hanukkah is an absolute must when it comes to holiday baking. Made with a super straightforward, 4-ingredient dough in the food processor, this pastry is far from intimidating. In this variation, we used our favorite apricot jam along with some hearty walnuts for the perfect fruit and nut dessert. If you don't have apricots or walnuts, any fruit and nut combination will do.

This classic fudge recipe is delightfully chocolatey, smooth, and creamy like a truffle. Making the candy takes only 25 minutes, but the fugde must sit at room temperature overnight to cool slowly and set without forming sugar crystals. Purchase high quality 60%-70% chocolate for best flavor and decadence.

Walnut- and Dijon-Crusted Halibut Recipe

Halibut is a versatile fish that can be grilled, poached, sautéed, broiled, or fried, but baking is probably the easiest and most foolproof way to cook it. Because it doesn’t have much oil, it is important to avoid overcooking. The oils from the walnut crust will help moisturize the fillet as it cooks.
