Ingredients

For The Brownie
2 cups Pitted dates-tightly packed, roughly chopped
1.75 cups Walnuts
5 tbsp Cocoa powder
1.75 tsp Vanilla extract
2.5 tsp Water
.33 tsp Salt
For The Icing
.25 cup Cocoa powder
.25 cup Maple syrup
2 tsp Coconut oil-melted
.5 tsp Vanilla extract

Directions

In a food processor, add the dates, walnuts, cocoa, vanilla, water and salt. Process until it’s nice and smooth, scraping down as you need to. It might seem dry, but you definitely don’t need more water.
Grease a 20x20cm baking tray, or line it with baking paper.
Spoon the chocolate ‘dough’ out of the food processor and into the prepared baking pan. and press it firmly until the mixture is evenly distributed. Set aside.
In another bowl, bring together cocoa, maple syrup, vanilla extract and oil. Stir well until this becomes a paste. This is your icing.
Spread your icing evenly across the dough in your pan. Pop the brownies in the fridge and leave them in there for at least 2 hours before serving to make sure it sets.
Brownies keep for about 2 weeks in the fridge, or 1-2 months if frozen.
