    They only require 5 basic ingredients (7 if you add the optional vanilla and nuts) and less than 10 minutes of prep time. Making them the easiest and tastiest treat around!

    They're easy to whip up and perfect to keep on hand for a keto snack, dessert, or an afternoon pick-me-up.

    What are fat bombs and are they healthy?

    Fat bombs are typically bite-sized snacks or desserts made with mostly healthy fats (such as coconut oil, nut butter, avocado, or grass-fed butter) with little to no sweetener.

    They became a popular snack or dessert with the rise of the Keto Diet where people eat a high-fat, low-carb diet. Some of the benefits include:

    • They keep you full for longer.
    • Not all fats are bad, in fact, some are extremely healthy! These are tasty ways to fill up on healthy fats without excess sugar or carbs.
    • Healthy fats can help with good cholesterol, vitamin and mineral absorption, brain function, blood sugar, blood pressure, and triglyceride levels.
    • They aid in weight loss, especially when eaten in moderation and combined with a Keto diet.

    A word of caution: one or two should do! Even though these are extremely healthy, they aren't a low-calorie food. However, they're very filling and not overly sweet, so after one or two you probably won't feel the need to keep reaching for more.

    The sweetener

    For the sweetener, I prefer to use allulose, monk fruit, or xylitol. All three of these sweeteners dissolve really well and taste just like sugar!

    I don’t recommend using an erythritol-based sweetener unless it's powdered, otherwise, it will be grainy. Even then, it can sometimes lend a grainy texture.

    Liquid stevia is another option. However, depending on the brand, it may leave a slightly bitter aftertaste and you may need to use quite a bit.

    Because of this, I tend not to use this option or I use it in combination with another sweetener.

    Step #3: Line a mini-muffin tin with baking cups. If you want, place some chopped nuts in each muffin cup.

    I like to use chopped pecans or macadamia nuts, but feel free to use any nuts you prefer or even omit them if nuts aren't your thing. 

    Step #4: Add 1 Tbsp. of the chocolate mixture to each cup.

    Storage

    Store covered in the fridge for 1 to 2 weeks or can be frozen in a freezer-safe baggie for 2 to 3 months. 

    Top tips

    • If your almond butter is unsalted, add a pinch or two of sea salt.
    • For the sweetener, I prefer to use allulose, monk fruit, or xylitol. All three of these sweeteners dissolve really well and taste just like sugar!

      Thank you so much for sharing this delicious recipe. It was my first DIY fat bombs. I needed dairy free, I didn't cook it at all, just blended in my mixer with a little fresh fine coconut flakes. I used liquid stevia and dark choc. so very delicious! Looking forward to many more of your recipes!
