10 keto fat bombs recipes with fat bombs guide

A keto diet consists mostly of fats, but many dieters find it difficult to eat enough fatty foods in a day to put themselves in ketosis. This where keto fat bombs come into play! These bite-sized goodies are loaded down with fat, providing a good portion of the recommended daily amount in just one serving. Want to make some of these for yourself? Here’s our guide to keto fat bombs.

What Are Fat Bombs?
Keto fat bombs are treats that are made out of keto-friendly fats such as coconut oil, grass-fed butter, avocado, nuts and seeds. You’re starving the body of carbohydrates, so you have to eat enough fat to fuel the body. Keto fat bombs make doing so easy and tasty.

What’s In Fat Bombs?
There are all kinds of fat bomb recipes keto dieters use. Most of them include a combination of coconut flakes, vanilla, cacao powder, dark chocolate, cinnamon, peanut butter, almond butter, cocoa butter, cheese, coconut cream, bacon bits and more. While most keto fat bombs are somewhat like desserts, there are some that are savory. There are no rules when it comes to making keto fat bombs! They just have to be high in fat and low in carbs. That’s it.

How Can I Make Them?
Making a keto fat bomb is incredibly easy. All you have to do is mix up your ingredients and then portion out the “batter”. You can form most keto fat bombs into small balls that are easy to grab but if you want to really up your keto game, use a cute mold to give your fat bombs a unique shape. You can even experiment with layering to make gourmet style keto fat bombs that look good enough to be presented in a fancy bakery.

Pro Tip: Since fat bombs mostly consist of butter and oils, they can melt. This is why it’s best to store your keto fat bombs in the fridge.

CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH PEANUT BUTTER FAT BOMBS

  • 6 T Butter, softened (I prefer grass-fed, such as KerryGold)
  • 6 oz softened Cream Cheese
  • 3 T Gentle Sweet (or the equivalent of ¼ c sugar)
  • 6 scoops Powdered MCT Oil
  • 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
  • ½ c Peanut Butter (sub almond butter for lower carbs)
  • ¼ c Lily’s Chocolate Chips
  1. Combine the butter, cream cheese, sweetener, vanilla extract and peanut butter in a bowl using a hand mixer or kitchen aid. Mix them really well, until completely combined.

Cheesecake Keto Fat Bombs

  • 6 ounces cream cheese
  • 2 – 2.5 ounces fresh or frozen strawberries (or raspberries)
  • 2 ounces salted butter (4 tablespoons)
  • 1 ounce granular swerve sweetener (roughly 2 tablespoons)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  1. Let the cream cheese, strawberries, and butter sit at room temperature for about an hour to soften before continuing with the recipe.
  2. Puree the strawberries using a small blender like the Nutribullet. Alternatively, you can mash them by hand, but the texture will be less smooth.
  3. In a bowl, combine pureed strawberries, sweetener, and vanilla, stirring until well-mixed.
  4. In a separate bowl, microwave the cream cheese for 10 seconds until very soft and pliable. This is an optional step, but it makes the cream cheese softer and more easily combined with other ingredients.
  5. Add butter and cream cheese to the bowl with the strawberry mixture. Use an electric hand mixer and beat until well-mixed, ideally without any large cream cheese clumps remaining.
  6. Divide the batter into 18 round silicone molds, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Freeze until solid, about 2 hours, before serving. Store leftovers in the freezer.

Nutty Coconut Fat Bombs

  • 1 1/2 cups walnuts or nut of choice
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut
  • 1/4 cup coconut butter + 1 tablespoon extra if needed I used homemade toasted coconut butter
  • 2 tablespoons almond butter or nut butter of choice
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 2 tablespoons flax meal
  • 2 tablespoons hemp seeds
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup optional, leave out for keto and Whole30
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons cacao nibs

For the chocolate drizzle

  • 1 oz. bittersweet or unsweetened chocolate chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
  1. In the bowl of a food processor, combine all of the ingredients except for the cacao nibs. Pulse for about 1-2 minutes, until the mixture starts to break down. It will first become powdery and will stick together, but still be crumbly.
  2. Keep processing until the oils start to release a bit and the mixture sticks together easily – just be careful not to over process or you’ll have nut butter. If your mixture seems dry and if you’re not using the maple syrup, you may need the extra tablespoon of coconut butter to help it come together. Once the mixture is sticking together well, pulse in the cacao nibs, just to incorporate them.
  3. Use a small cookie scoop (I use this one) or or a tablespoon scoop to divide the mixture into equal pieces. Use your hands to roll into balls and place on a plate.
  4. If desired, make the chocolate drizzle by melting the chocolate and coconut oil together in the microwave for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until it’s completely melted. Drizzle over the balls and place in the fridge or freezer to firm up.
  5. Store in an airtight container zip-top bag in the refrigerator or freezer.
