Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg white
  • ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup canola oil or light tasting olive oil
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ¾ teaspoon vanilla
  • ¾ cups toasted hazelnuts and pecans
  • ½ cup dark chocolate pieces or dark chocolate chips
  • Chocolate-Hazelnut Frosting
  • 2-3 tablespoons chocolate-hazelnut spread Nutella!
  • 1 ½ tablespoons milk
  • ½ tablespoon pure maple syrup
  • ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • ½ cup plus 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an 8 inch square metal pan with foil and spray with flour-added cooking spray.
  • Combine flour, baking powder, soda and salt in a large mixing bow; set aside.
  • In medium bowl whisk together egg whites, maple syrup, oil, milk and vanilla; add to flour mixture. Stir to combine. Stir in the cooled toasted nuts and the chocolate. Spread in prepared pan.
  • Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted near center comes out clean. Cool on wire rack and then lift from pan. Spread with Chocolate-Hazelnut Frosting or put the frosting in a freezer bag, snip off the bottom corner, and pipe stripes of it over the top.

Notes

I didn't use all the frosting.
