Perfectly soft and crumbly White Chocolate Raspberry Protein Scones with a ton of protein powder and greek yogurt! Healthy raspberry white chocolate scones without cream or sugar – low fat and sugar free.
Jump to RecipeI’ve really been hooked on scones after baking those Carrot Cake scones and then the strawberry shortcake with a protein scone base. These raspberry white chocolate scones were just an excuse for me to bake another batch – a really good excuse too!
An extra high protein version with the creaminess of the white chocolate and tart of the raspberry – just beauty.
Ingredients for White Chocolate Raspberry Protein Scones Recipe!
This high protein white chocolate raspberry scones recipe needs just a few simple and healthy ingredients and have no butter or sugar – a low fat and low sugar recipe!
- Whole wheat pastry flour for that lightness of the all-purpose flour, but with the nutritious benefits of whole grains
- Vanilla Protein Powder to add some sweetness. This is the replacement for sugar. I use the whey-caesin blend from HTLT Supps.
Another option is Quest. - Unflavored Protein Powder to replace some of the flour (and carbs) in the recipe for a slightly low carb high protein recipe. Quest Nutrition again here since it’s a whey casein blend and bakes well.
- Coconut Flour
- A bit of 1:1 Zero Calorie Sugar Substitute – I use Lakanto, to keep this recipe sugar free; (code HAYLSKITCHEN for a discount here).
- Non-fat Greek Yogurt another protein-packed ingredient
- Baking Powder
For the Sugar-free Raspberry Scones:
- Fresh Raspberries
- Sugar free White Chocolate Chips or chopped chocolate. I use the white chocolate chips from Lily’s here. They also have white chocolate bar that would work too.
Tips for making Protein Powder White Chocolate Raspberry Scones without Sugar
This recipe for protein powder white chocolate raspberry scones uses Greek yogurt for that moist texture, and has no butter or heavy cream. Here’s some pointers to make sure you get it right:
- Mix all dry ingredients first, then add yogurt.
- Use cold yogurt so that the dough is cold and rises well.
- Add all yogurt at once and mix.
- Don’t over-mix the dough or over-knead or it will get too warm and make dense scones.
This will also smash the raspberries.
- Don’t let dough sit out for too long; Work quickly; You don’t want the dough to get warm and hard to handle.
- Don’t roll dough too thin or thick; Just about 1”.
- Let dough chill in the fridge; This really helps in the baking.
- Use a sharp knife or pizza cutter to cut scones. Don’t shape with hands. You will work the dough too much and they won’t be light and crumbly anymore.

Alternatives for Healthy Raspberry White Chocolate Scones without cream
I really recommend the ingredients – and brands – I used make this healthy white chocolate raspberry scones recipe.
Here’s some other options you can try, but I haven’t given them all a try yet, so I’m not sure how they would all work together.
- Whole Wheat Pastry Flour: All purpose flour or 1:1 gluten free baking flour in the same amount by weight not cups.
- Unflavored Protein Powder: More Plain flour, but reduce the amount of yogurt to 1 cup
- 1:1 Zero Calorie Sugar Replacement: Regular confectioners sugar (this won’t be sugar free though, and also higher in calories)
- Unsweetened Greek Yogurt: Vanilla greek yogurt, but try to keep it light.
Coconut yogurt could be an option.
Make Vegan Raspberry Scones!
The original recipe here has no eggs, butter or milk, so you could easily make protein packed Vegan raspberry scones too.
I haven’t tried this out so I can’t tell if it will work – Maybe try half the batch. Replace the Greek Yogurt with Coconut Yogurt, try a pea protein powder, and use dairy free white chocolate for a vegan scone recipe.
Let me know how it goes if you do!

These turn out really delicious, but they never look like the picture. My mixture is very heavy and when I mix in the raspberries, if they’re fresh, I end up with raspberry jam, basically. No berry stays unbroken. Is your mixture the same? I’ve measured everything in grams with a scale. Any tips?
Thank you,
Nancy
I’m glad you liked the flavor, but OH NO!
I try to just gently use hands to bring dough together.
Mixing too much prevents the berries from getting mashed up.
Let me know if this helps.
I think I missed what white chocolate chips are recommended. Would you mind repeating which ones they are? I looked for Lily’s, but couldn’t find them anywhere. Perhaps you have another suggestion? Thank you, Nancy
Thanks for catching that Nancy! Just added the link; Yes, they were Lily’s 🙂
I couldn’t wait to make these when I see them on Haylee’s stories, I used a small very ripe banana in place of the stevia as I had some to use up and they are so delicious! I don’t let my kids have protein powder snacks usually but couldn’t keep them or my husband away from them – so good!
Kid and husband approved is a real marker of success. I’m so happy you all loved this scones Dee 🙂
