Description

This recipe started as a total leap of faith. I couldn’t find any proof that blending cream cheese into a red velvet protein brownie would work… so I went for it anyway. No roadmap. No guarantees. Just instinct. And wow—the outcome was a thick, fudgy brownie that delivers classic red velvet flavor with a creamy tang, all without wrecking your macros. These brownies are rich, dense, and taste straight-up indulgent—but they’re secretly protein-packed. Mission accomplished.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 155 g red velvet pancake mix
  • 20 g chocolate casein protein powder (casein is key for the texture)
  • 2 g baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon red velvet emulsion (optional, but boosts flavor)
  • 1 container fat-free cream cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 20 g coconut oil, melted
  • 10 g baking stevia
  • 30–50 ml sugar-free syrup or preferred sweetener
  • 28 g white chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Bring to room temperature: Take the cream cheese and eggs out of the fridge ahead of time. Soft ingredients blend smoothly and make all the difference here.
  2. Heat the oven: Preheat to 350°F (175°C). Line an 8×8-inch pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  3. Mix the wet base: In a bowl, blend the cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, red velvet emulsion, and melted coconut oil until completely smooth.
  4. Add the dry ingredients: Stir in the pancake mix, protein powder, and baking powder. Mix until fully combined.
  5. Sweeten and adjust texture: Add the stevia and syrup. If you’re using a granulated sweetener instead of liquid, splash in a little almond milk to loosen the batter.
  6. Bake: Spread the batter evenly into the prepared pan. Sprinkle white chocolate chips over the top. Bake for 15–20 minutes, until just set in the center.
  7. Cool and slice: Let the brownies cool slightly before cutting. They firm up as they rest.

Notes

  • Do not replace the eggs or coconut oil. The fat is essential for that dense, fudgy texture.
  • Avoid swapping the protein powder—casein creates the structure that makes these brownies work.
  • Slightly underbaked is better than overbaked.
