What a treat these treats are! They are very soft and melt-in-your-mouth, and the nut pieces on the surface add a bit of crunch and a pleasantly roasted flavor. I highly recommend you give them a try. Plus, it's a convenient way to use up leftover egg whites.
Preheat the oven to 180°C, static heat.
Grease your financiers molds if they are not silicone.
In a small bowl, mix the melted and cooled butter with the maple syrup.
In a large bowl, mix the finely chopped nuts, powdered sugar, and flour with a whisk.
Add the butter-maple syrup mixture and mix again to incorporate it.
Separately, whip the egg whites a little to make them frothy, then fold them into the batter.
Fill the molds (placed on a tray for added stability, as they are made of silicone) with the batter, up to two-thirds of their height. Add one walnut half in the center of each portion.
Bake and cook for 20 minutes. Keep an eye on the oven as the cooking time depends on the size of the molds and each oven.
To finish, let cool slightly, then unmold and sprinkle with powdered sugar.
