Combine all ingredients for brownie above in a bowl.
Place mixture into a lined brownie tin, and bake at 180 degrees Celsius for 12-15 mins until just underdone. Take out and allow to cool.
Allow to sit for a minimum of 1/2 an hour so that they are able to cool down and firm up a little more
FOR THE FROSTING
Warm the coconut oil in a pan on the stove and allow it to melt.
Add in the nut butter and take off heat. Stir in the raw cocoa, maple syrup and vanilla.
Pour glaze over brownies and leave to cool. Place in fridge and allow to set for a minimum of 2 hours
