Easy No Bake Matcha Brownie Protein Bites made with oats, protein powder and a few simple ingredients. Matcha Chocolate protein bars are gluten free, sugar free and vegan, and perfect for a quick dessert or snack recipe.

I just got my hands on a new pack of matcha and that color was so bright and vibrant green that I had to make something that would give it a good contrast. Matcha and chocolate with the green and brown seemed like a good idea, and these raw matcha brownies concept came to be.

Added in the protein powder for sweetness because I wanted to make this a healthy matcha snack recipe. And voila! Protein matcha brownie bars!

Does matcha taste good with chocolate?

Before trying this combination I was quite uncertain about this, but yes, matcha definitely tastes really good with chocolate! The earthy flavor of match powder goes quite well with the rich chocolate flavor; In these matcha protein bites and otherwise too.

Ingredients for Matcha Brownie Protein Bites

These matcha brownie protein bars are made with extremely basic ingredients you can find in your pantry, and are all gluten free, sugar free, dairy free and Vegan too!

Oat Flour
Coconut Flour
A bit of Almond Milk
Extra Sweetener like monkfruit or stevia; This depends on how sweet your protein powder is.

The Matcha Oat Layer

Vanilla Protein Powder for high protein matcha energy bars, and also replace the sweetener. I use the whey-casein from Quest Nutrition.
Matcha Green Tea Powder

The No Bake Brownie Layer

Whey Casein Chocolate Protein Powder from Quest Nutrition again, and Whey Chocolate Potein Powder, from Dymatize.
Just Unsweetened Cocoa
Unsweetened Applesauce

And a Sugar-free Chocolate Drizzle!

Sugar free Chocolate Bar or Chocolate Chips to make this a matcha brownie bar with no added sugar. I use the ones from Lakanto here (HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here too). Another option is Lily’s Bar or Chocolate Chips.
Coconut Oil so the chocolate is easier to melt and more smooth when you drizzle.

Tips for making Chocolate Matcha Protein Bars

These high protein matcha chocolate bars are extremely easy to make, with just making one layer at a time.

Line the muffin pan or loaf pan with parchment paper.

Add milk little at a time so that the mixture doesn’t get too runny.
Use more milk if too dry, more coconut flour if too wet.
Taste the mixture; If you need it sweeter (this would depend on the sweetness of your protein powder), add a bit of stevia or monkfruit sweetener.

Melt the chocolate in intervals (stirring every now and then) until it’s completely melted – this prevents it from burning.

To store Matcha Brownie Protein Bites

These homemade matcha protein bites need to be stored in the fridge since they have milk in there.

To store, place raw matcha brownies in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a 1 week.

To freeze, place matcha bars in airtight sealed container, or individually wrapped in plastic wrap and placed in zipper bag; They should keep for 2 or 3 months. Be sure to let them thaw on the counter before eating!
