If you are craving a rich, fudgy treat that tastes completely decadent but also supports your nutrition goals, these Frosted Raspberry Chocolate Protein Brownies will be your new go-to. They look and taste like a luxurious dessert, yet they’re secretly loaded with nutrients  – especially protein, which makes them satisfying, nourishing, and perfect as a snack, post-workout bite, or healthy dessert.

The brownie base is built from whole-food ingredients that come together to create a dense, chewy, chocolatey texture without ever turning on the oven Almond flour and cocoa lay the foundation, but the real magic happens when you stir in a quality chocolate or vanilla protein powder. It boosts the protein content significantly, helping to keep you fuller for longer and making each square a truly functional treat. Instead of empty calories, every bite delivers steady energy and supports muscle repair and recovery – all while tasting like a decadent brownie.

Fresh or frozen raspberries add a bright burst of natural sweetness and tang, along with fibre and antioxidants. They cut through the richness of the chocolate beautifully and create little pockets of juicy flavour throughout the brownie layer. The pairing of chocolate, berries and protein creates a balanced treat that feels indulgent but aligns seamlessly with a healthy lifestyle.

And then there’s the topping… a smooth, dreamy light cream cheese frosting that adds just the right amount of sweetness and creaminess without the heaviness of a traditional icing. You can even stir a spoonful of protein powder into the frosting for an extra boost – it blends effortlessly and gives the topping a lovely body and slight cheesecake-like flavour.

Best of all, these brownies come together in minutes. Simply mix the brownie ingredients, press into a lined pan, spread the frosting, and chill. No baking, no complicated steps, no waiting for anything to cool. Once set, slice into squares and enjoy a treat that feels like dessert but fuels your day with meaningful nutrition.

They keep beautifully in the fridge and taste even better the next day as the flavours deepen. You can freeze them too – they thaw quickly and make the perfect grab-and-go protein bite.

Whether you are looking for a healthier brownie, a protein-rich snack, or a nutrient-packed dessert that doesn’t compromise on flavour, these no-bake raspberry chocolate brownies tick every box. Delicious, nourishing, and unbelievably satisfying.

Ingredients

Brownie Layer

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1 cup oat flour (oats blended to a flour)
• 1/4 cup protein powder, chocolate, vanilla or unflavoured
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
• 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
• 1/2 cup mashed raspberries (fresh or frozen, thawed)
• 2-4 tablespoons milk of choice (as needed for texture)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Raspberry Frosting 

• 1 cup cream cheese (cold, not softened)
• 1/4 cup freeze-dried raspberries, finely ground into a powder
• 1 scoop protein powder, vanilla or unflavoured
• 1-2 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Chocolate Topping

• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil

Instructions

• Line a 7 x 5-inch loaf pan or dish with parchment paper on the bottom and sides leaving some overhanging to act as a handle to get the bars out easier for cutting. Or can make in a parchment paper lined muffin pan (8-10 muffin cups) or a silicon muffin pan.  

Brownie Base

• In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, oat flour, protein powder and cocoa powder.

  Add coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and mashed raspberries.

  Mix well - the mixture should be thick and dough-like.

  Add 2–4 tablespoons of milk gradually, only if needed, until the texture becomes fudgy and dough like.

  Scoop the mixture out into the lined pan and spread out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.

Raspberry Protein Frosting

• In a mixing bowl, beat the cold cream cheese until smooth. Add the ground freeze-dried raspberries, protein powder, honey and vanilla extract.

  Beat again until thick and well combined. Can also make this in a food processor!

  Top the brownie layer with the frosting and spread out evenly with a spatula or back of a spoon.

  Place the pan in the fridge for at least 2–3 hours, or in the freezer for 45–60 minutes.  

Chocolate Topping

• Place chocolate chips and coconut oil in small dish and microwave with 20 second bursts stirring between each one until melted and smooth.

  Or use double boiler method - (pot of boiling water with a bowl resting on top) melt the chocolate chips and the coconut oil together.

  Spread the melted chocolate over the frosting layer and place in fridge to set and firm up. Once firm, if using a loaf pan, slice into 8-10 bars or smaller squares. If using a muffin pan, pop out of molds to serve.

  Store in the fridge for up to 1 week or freezer for up to 3 months.

  Notes: Chocolate chips or freeze-dried raspberries can be mixed into the base for extra texture and flavour.
