No-Bake Gluten-Free Protein Brownies
There are times when you want something chocolatey and satisfying, but baking feels like too much effort, or simply doesn’t fit into your routine. Most ready-made desserts are high in sugar and low in protein, while many “healthy” options compromise on taste or texture. These no-bake gluten-free protein brownies are designed to bridge that gap.
By skipping the oven entirely and using simple, functional ingredients, this recipe delivers a rich brownie-like texture with minimal preparation. ISO100 Gourmet Chocolate provides high-quality whey isolate protein that blends smoothly, while almond flour keeps the base gluten-free and balanced. Cocoa powder deepens the chocolate flavour without adding unnecessary sweetness, and nut butter helps bind everything together for a dense, satisfying bite.
The mixture comes together quickly, sets in the refrigerator, and slices cleanly once chilled, making it a practical option for meal prep, post-workout snacks, or controlled portions throughout the day. With balanced macros and a straightforward process, these brownies make it easier to enjoy a chocolate snack that fits into a protein-focused routine.

- Add Wet Ingredients: Add almond butter, honey (or your sweetener), vanilla extract, almond milk, and chia seeds (optional). Stir until well combined and a thick dough forms. If it’s too dry, add a little more almond milk (1 tbsp at a time) until you get the right consistency.
