What are keto fat bombs?
Low carb, high fat, no-bake treats, keto fat bombs are a way for keto dieters to consume enough fat macros. They are decadent, rich, chocolaty, and low in sugar. As such, they’re perfect for any keto dieter who enjoys rich desserts.
Since they aren’t overly sweet, keto fat bombs are perfect for eating any time. Some people on a keto diet use fat bombs to help curb cravings for sweets while others have them with a meal. They’re delicious for breakfast, afternoon snacks, before or after a workout, or as a replacement for carb-heavy snacks.
They can be made in many different flavor combinations, and they are really convenient to have on hand.
Like many other keto recipes, fat bombs are usually made with ingredients like:
- sugar-free peanut butter or peanut butter powder
- coconut oil
- dark chocolate or cocoa powder
- cream cheese
- avocado
- low glycemic sweeteners such as liquid stevia, agave syrup, or monk fruit sweetener
Do fat bombs help you lose weight?
Depending on who you ask, the answer to this question may vary.
Fat bombs are 90 percent fat, so of course, they play an important role in helping you stay in deep ketosis. Some nutrition experts suggest using fat bombs purely for snacks, as part of a ketogenic diet. That being said, staying in ketosis requires consuming 70 percent of your daily calories in fat which can be challenging.
So, eating a couple of fat bombs with every meal can help you to achieve your fat intake goal. As a result, they can help you stay in ketosis, effectively boosting your overall weight loss!
Fat Bomb Recipes and Ingredients
The recipe card below explains how to make 3 different keto fat bomb recipes. They are Chocolate Peanut Butter, Chocolate Coconut Butter, and Chocolate Almond Butter.
For anyone with a coconut allergy or simply an intolerance to it, there are 2 options for bases: coconut oil or cocoa butter mixed with cocoa powder.
We also have 2 different choices for sweeteners: monk fruit sweetener and liquid stevia.
In addition to the ingredients, you’ll want to have a mold of some sort to make the keto fat bombs in. I suggest using a silicone truffle mold. (affiliate link)
When it comes time to remove fat bombs from their mold, having them in a silicone mold makes the job much easier. They’ll pop right out, and cleanup couldn’t be any easier!

August 21, 2019 at 2:51 pmCan I substitute erythritol for the monkfruit and if so, would it also be 1/2 cup?
Lorena says
August 21, 2019 at 3:33 pmYes! You can also simply leave the sweetener out altogether (I’ve already tested that) or use a couple of drops of stevia.
Tori says
August 8, 2019 at 12:43 pmCan we leave out the sweetener?
Lorena says
August 9, 2019 at 6:40 amyes! It works perfectly fine without sweetener. My husband prefers it without so I’ve tested it and it worked great.
Michelle says
August 7, 2019 at 7:56 ammust we use the
3 tsp coconut butter
3 tsp almond butter
because we don`t have it can i just use normal unsalted butter instead
Lorena says
August 9, 2019 at 6:42 amYou can use regular unsalted butter instead of the coconut butter but not instead of the almond butter. It will taste very buttery though, be aware of that.

June 12, 2019 at 8:46 pmYummy! I made some with coconut butter and cashew better, another batch with almond butter. I also added vanilla to my chocolate.
Lorena says
June 12, 2019 at 9:10 pmYUM! Vanilla in the chocolate sounds heavenly!
Renee says
June 18, 2019 at 8:58 amHow much Vanilla did you add ?
Scotr says
June 11, 2019 at 10:32 pmYour video says 1/2 cup of coconut oil but the ingredients list on the web site says 1 cup. Which is it? I just did 1 cup but it’s very runny.
Lorena says
June 12, 2019 at 9:16 pmOMG, I’m so so sorry Scotr! It’s 1/2 cup. I must have thought the “/2” and never typed it. I just corrected the amount in the recipe card and recalculated the nutrition information. Gosh I’m so glad you caught it!! Thank you for pointing it out.

Lorena says
May 30, 2019 at 10:38 am1 is considered 1 serving. That way you can calculate how many individual truffles you need to fill your daily fat needs.
