Frequently asked questions
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 carbs. They're a great way to add fats when following a keto diet. But be careful; one or two will do!
Yes, you can! To do this, replace the keto sweetener with two tablespoons of coconut palm sugar and two tablespoons of honey or pure maple syrup, and replace the butter with 2 Tablespoons of melted coconut oil or non-dairy butter, adding more if needed to help the bites hold together. And instead of beating the sweetener and butter first, simply stir everything together 👍
Ingredients
Here are the simple fat bomb ingredients:
- Softened Butter - Classic cookie flavor and smoothness. I recommend grass-fed butter if possible because it tastes a million times better! If you want to soften the butter quickly, I love this tutorial from Sally's Baking Addiction: How To Soften Butter Quickly.
- Keto Sweetener - I prefer to use allulose because it dissolves beautifully and leaves NO aftertaste! Or, you can use an erythritol-based sweetener; just make sure it's powdered!
- Blanched Almond Flour - This is a low-carb flour and is the base of the recipe.
- Sea Salt - Enhances flavor.
- Baking Soda - For taste.
- Pure Vanilla - If possible, use pure vanilla, not the imitation variety.
- Blackstrap Molasses - Optional, but highly recommended! It adds an authentic cookie dough taste, and since there's only ยผ teaspoon in the entire recipe, it barely affects the carb count!
- Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips - Small bursts of chocolate in the cookie dough recipe. Lily's and ChocZero are my favorite keto chocolate chip brands.
- Melted Low-Carb Chocolate - optional, for drizzle
🔪Easy instructions
Be sure you don't try to make this dough into actual keto chocolate chip cookies!
This is made specifically to be eaten as raw cookie dough, as a fat bomb. If you bake these, they will not turn out well.
Step #1: Start by creaming some softened butter with the powdered sweetener.
It's important that the butter is at room temperature for the smoothest texture! To get your butter at room temperature, I love this tutorial from Sally's Baking Addiction on how to soften butter quickly.
Step #2: Beat in the dry ingredients.
Step #3: Stir in the chocolate chips.
The batter will be crumbly; this is totally normal!
Step #4: Roll into balls and allow to firm in the fridge. Drizzle with chocolate if desired.
🍫 Chocolate coating
To melt the chocolate, place ยฝ cup of low-carb chocolate chips and two teaspoons of butter or coconut oil in a microwavable safe bowl.
Heat for 30 seconds, then stir. Then, heat in 15-second intervals, stirring between intervals until it fully melts.
💭Tip: If you prefer not to use a microwave, place the ingredients in a large, heatproof bowl over a small pot of boiling water, making sure the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water. Stir until completely melted, then remove from heat.
With the fat bombs still on the parchment-lined cookie sheet, use a spoon to drizzle on the melted chocolate.
Then, place them back in the fridge until hardened, around 30 minutes.
Storage instructions
- Store: Chocolate chip keto cookie dough fat bombs can be stored in the fridge for one week.
- Freeze: Freeze for 1 to 2 months. They can be eaten frozen or thawed at room temperature first.
Substitutions
- You can skip the chocolate drizzle if you just want edible chocolate chip cookie dough.
- If you prefer coconut flour, you can replace the almond flour with coconut flour. Keep in mind that coconut flour is much more absorbent than almond flour! If using coconut flour, start with ยผ cup, then add more as needed to achieve the right texture.
- If you want some added texture, throw in a handful of chopped nuts, seeds, or shredded coconut.
💭 Top tips
- These are egg-free, making them keto edible cookie dough that is safe to eat.
- If you try to bake these, I'm afraid you will be disappointed. These are meant to be eaten raw and will not turn out well if baked.
- Be sure the butter is at room temperature for the best texture.
- I highly recommend adding ยผ tsp. of molasses. Molasses isn't typically considered keto. However, it adds an authentic cookie dough taste, and since there's only ยผ teaspoon in the entire recipe, it barely affects the carb count!

These look amazing. I've never used Swerve before since I've been a Stevia gal but lately Stevia has been giving me a headache so I may have to give Swerve a try, thanks.
