Whether you need a quick snack between meals, a satisfying dessert after dinner, or just a little something to curb those sugar cravings, these fat bombs are the answer.

Why Fat Bombs Are Perfect for Keto

Fat bombs are a staple in the keto diet for several reasons:

  • High in Healthy Fats: They provide a concentrated source of healthy fats, which are essential for maintaining ketosis and providing energy on a low-carb diet.
  • Low in Carbs: These peanut butter chocolate fat bombs are specifically designed to be low in carbohydrates, ensuring you stay within your daily carb limit.
  • Satisfying: The combination of fats and protein helps to keep you feeling full and satisfied, reducing cravings and preventing overeating.
  • Convenient: They’re easy to make in advance and store, making them a perfect grab-and-go snack or dessert.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup peanut butter (no sugar added, preferably natural)
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (high-quality for best flavor)
  • 2 tablespoons erythritol or other keto-friendly sweetener (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt (enhances the flavor)
  • Optional: Sugar-free chocolate chips for added texture and flavor

Instructions

  1. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, melted coconut oil, unsweetened cocoa powder, erythritol (or your chosen sweetener), vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.
  2. Mix thoroughly until everything is evenly combined and the mixture is smooth. If using a hand mixer or stand mixer, this will make the process even quicker and easier.
  3. If you’re adding sugar-free chocolate chips, stir them into the mixture now.
  4. Spoon the mixture into silicone molds. Ice cube trays, candy molds, or even small muffin tins lined with paper liners work well. For best results, use silicone as it makes removing the fat bombs much easier.
  5. Place the molds in the freezer for at least 2 hours, or until the fat bombs are completely solid. This allows them to firm up and prevents them from melting too quickly when you take them out.
  6. Once frozen solid, remove the fat bombs from the molds and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer.
  7. Enjoy!

Tips for Making the Best Fat Bombs

  • Use Natural Peanut Butter: Opt for peanut butter that contains only peanuts and salt, with no added sugar or oils. This will help you keep the carb count low and ensure you’re getting healthy fats.
  • Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture before freezing and adjust the amount of sweetener to your liking. Everyone has different preferences, so don’t be afraid to experiment.
  • Don’t Overmix: Overmixing can cause the fat bombs to become oily. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Storage: Store the fat bombs in the refrigerator for a softer texture or in the freezer for a firmer texture. They will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator and even longer in the freezer.
  • Variations: Get creative with your fat bombs! You can add chopped nuts, shredded coconut, spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or even a little espresso powder for a mocha flavor.
