Ingredients
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 cup sugar
2/3 cup Splenda no calorie sweetener
(We used the box that measures cup for cup like sugar.)
2 Tbsp. packed brown sugar
1/4 cup light butter
1/4 cup Cary's sugar free syrup
3 egg whites
1/2 cup chopped pecans
3 Tbsp. semisweet chocolate chips
(We used Nestle Mini Morsels.)
Non-fat cooking spray
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Whisk together the first 4 ingredients, flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a mixing bowl.
3. In a separate mixing bowl pour sugars (white, Splenda and brown) and the butter (melted for about 20 seconds in the microwave). Blend them together with a mixer for about 3 minutes on medium speed. Keep the blender going and add the Cary's syrup and egg whites. Beat until combined.
4. Use a spoon to add the flour mixture to the bowl of butter and sugars. Once it's well combined, stir in the pecans and chocolate chips.
5. Spray an 8 inch square baking pan with non-fat cooking spray. Pour the batter in the pan and spread evenly.
6. Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 25 minutes or until bars are lightly browned. Cool on a wire rack, cut and serve.
