Process

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 7"x11" rectangular baking pan and set aside.
In a medium mixing bowl, mix together the flours, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the maple syrup and almond butter until smooth. Then mix in the 1 large egg and .5 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
Add the dry (flours, salt, baking soda) mixture to the bowl of the stand mixture and mix on low speed until just everything is combined, stopping periodically to scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl.
Fold in the hazelnuts and chocolate.
Pour the dough into the prepared pan and smooth into an even layer.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, until a tester comes out clean.
Cool completely, before pouring the ganache (warm, so it is still liquid) over the top, and placing the additional hazelnuts, evenly spaced, in a grid pattern across the top.
Allow ganache to set before slicing and serving.
