Keto Fat Bomb Recipes
Are you looking to reduce processed sugar in your diet? But, do you still have a sweet tooth?
I am in the exact same boat! I’ve found the answer – keto fat bombs! Even if you’re not following a particular diet or eating plan, keto fat bomb recipes like this one have helped me to reduce my sugar but still have a healthy treat.
These no bake homemade peanut butter cups are dairy free, gluten free and vegan! They keep you full and are super easy to make at home.
What are Keto Fat Bombs?
First things first, keto fat bombs are high fat, low carb snacks.
They are designed to give your body a healthy dose of fat needed to provide satiety and give you an energy source. For me, they are like dessert, keeping me full and preventing me from snacking
You may have wondered, when should I eat a keto fat bomb? I like to keep these on hand so I can have a sweet treat mid-day. The healthy fat from the peanut butter or almond butter and coconut oil keep me satiated.
What You Need to Make Homemade Peanut Butter Cups
Most Keto fat bomb recipes have just a few ingredients. A healthy fat (i.e. coconut oil or nut butter), flavoring (i.e vanilla extract, stevia, cacao), and texture (i.e. almonds, coconut, seeds, etc). These chocolate keto fat bombs include peanut butter.
Here is what you need to make them:
- cacao powder
- peanut butter or nut butter: My favorite nut butter are cashew butter and almond butter from Georgia Grinders. They have unbelievable Whole30 and Keto approved nut butters. Save 20% on your Georgia Grinders almond butter with code “LYNDSEY20”
- coconut oil
- vanilla extract
- stevia, erythritol or monk fruit sweetener: you can also use stevia drops
How to Make Peanut Butter Keto Fat Bombs
Here are the steps to making them:
- Add chocolate layer ingredients together and mix until smooth.
- Pour evenly into 12 silicone muffin cups. Allow mixture to freeze for ten minutes.
- Mix together peanut or almond butter layer.
- Evenly pour over chocolate layer. Freeze for ten minutes.
You essentially mix all of the ingredients up and let them set. I like to freeze mine for easy storage.
Tips for Making the Best Make Keto Fat Bombs
Should I use peanut butter or almond butter when I make Keto Fat Bombs?
Peanuts are a controversial ingredient in diets such as Whole30 and Paleo. Even with the keto diet, there are some people who will not eat them.
I also like to make these keto fat bombs with almond butter. Almond butter cups are a delicious alternative to chocolate keto fat bombs made with peanut butter.
Peanuts are considered a legume and can cause inflammation in the gut which is why some people choose to forgo them. Although this keto fat bomb has peanuts, if they are an issue for you, just swap out for almond or another low-inflammation nut butter.
What if I don’t have a muffin pan? Can I still make them?
Did you know that you can also make these into Keto candy bars? Instead of using muffin tins, you can use an 8X8 pyrex dish and create super easy keto candy!
How Many Fat Bombs Can I Eat on Keto?
Runner’s World recommends 1-3 per day. The amount you eat will depend on your individual nutrition goals.
