To prepare the brownies, line a 9x5 inch loaf pan with parchment paper.

Add the pitted dates, walnuts, and cocoa powder to a blender. Blend until fully combined and the mixture forms fine crumbs. Add the almond milk and blend to combine. You may need to stir with a spatula until fully combined and smooth.

Firmly pat the mixture into the prepared pan and set aside.

To prepare the ganache, add the melted coconut oil, cocoa powder, almond milk, and maple syrup in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. If your almond milk is not room temperature, you may need to melt the mixture in order to achieve a smooth liquid to pour over the brownies. Pour the ganache over the prepared brownies in an even layer. Top with chopped walnuts. Place in the fridge to set for about 1 hour.

Slice into 8-12 squares, depending on your desired size.
