I love no-bake brownies, but I wanted to make something a bit different this Valentines Day and decided on brownie bark. This is basically a thin brownie which is then topped with raspberries and some melted dark chocolate, to create slices or “bark” that you can enjoy. I love to have this with a cup of tea in the evening but it’s also a great mid-morning snack or dessert as it’s made with good-for-you ingredients that happen to taste so indulgent.

You can see the ingredients with weights in the recipe card below and see my favourite and recommended products in the “shop the recipe” section.
For the brownie base:
Oat flour: make your own by blending oats to a fine flour.
Almond flour: to make the brownies soft and moreish. Ground almonds will also work instead.
Cacao powder: this is the heirloom cacao from Anima Mundi and is such a high quality cacao. It tastes amazing, rich and slightly floral and is packed with antioxidants.
Chocolate protein powder: I use a plain chocolate one to add protein and a fudgy texture. If you prefer, you can use more oat/almond flour.
This is naturally gluten-free as long as your oats/oat flour are gluten-free. To make this nut-free, swap the almond flour for more oat flour and use tahini or sunflower seed butter.
