About This Recipe

One bite of this creamy, fudgy, and rich (AND edible!) brownie batter will have you believing there is NO WAY it’s healthy and protein-packed. But it is, friends! You know I would never lie to you!

This Healthy Brownie Batter is a no bake dessert made without raw flour and egg, making it totally safe to consume!

Thick and delicious, it’s a decadent twist on cookie dough takes just minutes to whip up with ingredients you likely already have on hand. And it’s truly what chocolate dreams are made of. 🤤

You can easily make this edible brownie batter dairy-free and vegan. Just substitute with a vegan protein powder and use maple syrup instead of sugar-free pancake syrup.

Dive right into this Healthy Brownie Batter and enjoy by the spoonful or use it as a frosting or dip. It’s healthy, it’s safe, and heck—it’s way better than diving into a bowl of your standard raw and runny brownie batter!

Why You’ll Love This Healthy Brownie Batter

  • Smooth like icing but still so thick and fudgy!
  • Rich chocolate in every bite. It’s seriously the ultimate chocolate fix.
  • It’s PROTEIN PACKED and LOW CALORIE!
  • Just 7 ingredients needed—and they’re all pantry staples.
  • Quick, easy, and no baking required. Enjoy this healthy brownie batter in a matter of minutes!
  • IT’S SO FUDGING DELICIOUS! Seriously, how is this stuff healthy!?

Ingredients and Substitutions

  • Pumpkin – I haven’t tried but I would think you could replace with banana or mashed avocado if you needed.
  • Nut butter – Almond, peanut, cashew, any nut butter of choice! My favorites are almond and cashew butter. If you have a nut allergy you can sub for sunflower butter. For lower fat, you can use peanut butter powder.
  • Cocoa powder – You could use normal cocoa, dark cocoa, or dutch black cocoa! I used normal cocoa, here but all are tasty options!
  • Protein powder – I used PEScience Vanilla. A chocolate or peanut butter flavor would also work here. Honestly, you could really use any flavor! To make a vegan brownie batter, use a vegan protein powder.
  • Sweetener – I used Swerve Granular Sweetener. You can use Truvia, Splenda, Stevia, sugar, or any other sweetener of your choice.
  • Sugar-free pancake syrup – You can also use honey. Substitute with pure maple syrup if you wish to make this recipe vegan.
  • Vanilla – to maximize it’s flavor of course!

How To Make

4. Store in the fridge for at least an hour to allow the flavors to come together more. For best results, let sit overnight! 

Best Ways To Enjoy Healthy Brownie Batter

  1. Eat it straight up! This is what I do most often if I’m being honest here. 😂
  2. Use it as a frosting. Spread all over a cake or on top of some cupcakes or bars. It’ll add fudgy brownie flavor to whatever you choose! Who could pass that up?!
  3. Serve as a dip. Take some sliced apples, strawberries, graham crackers, or even brownie brittle and dunk ’em in to this chocolately goodness! A truly epic dessert.
  4. Dollop a spoonful on your Jello Yogurt Bowl, an ice cream sundae, or a Cookies and Cream Protein Milkshake!
