Adapted from MinimalistBaker
Ingredients
Makes 16 brownies
Brownies
14 Medjool dates, pitted
1 ½ cups pecans (or walnuts)
6 tablespoons cocoa powder
2 teaspoons water
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Frosting
4 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 tablespoons maple syrup
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
Line a 8x8-inch baking pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
Place dates, walnuts, cocoa, water, salt, and vanilla extract in the bowl of a food processor.
Process until smooth, stopping and scraping the sides as needed. It will look a bit dry, that’s okay.
Transfer to the lined baking sheet and press firmly until evenly distributed. Place in the refrigerator to set.
To make the frosting, in a medium bowl combine cocoa, maple syrup, coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until a paste forms.
Spread evenly over the dough.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, until set.
Cut into squares and have at it.
Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
