If you’re looking to reduce sugar, you may be looking for some sweet low carb snacks. Even if you’re not a keto diet follower, Keto fat bombs will be your answer!
Keto fat bombs are one of the best Keto desserts you can make! They are super easy to make at home.
You don’t even have to be following the Keto diet to enjoy these tasty treats. These dairy free fat bombs is vegan friendly and gluten free.
The one thing that can throw a wrench in eating healthy for me is feeling deprived! These chocolate peanut butter fat bombs are the trick to not feeling deprived!
A Few Frequently Asked Questions About How to 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.
What are Keto Fat Bombs?
Keto fat bombs are high fat, low carb snacks. If you’ve ever wondered what do fat bombs do for keto, here is your answer!
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 and keep me full and not wanting to snack on empty calories.
You may also wonder, 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 if I don’t have a muffin pan? How can I make these fat bombs?
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!
Can I eat peanuts on the keto diet?
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.
My favorite nut butter are cashew butter and almond butter from Georgia Grinders. They have unbelievable Whole30 and Keto approved nut butters.

How to Make Peanut Butter Keto Fat Bombs
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.
You essentially mix all of the ingredients up and let them set. I like to freeze mine for easy storage.

Adrienne
these sound so good. I am afraid I would eat them all.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
they’re surprisingly filling! I like to keep mine in the freezer and just have one per day.
Bernadette
How long do they last after freezing?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I tend to eat them right out of the freezer. Since they are made with coconut oil they tend to soften quickly as coconut oil does.

Can you PLEASE provide macros?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
macros added to post 🙂
Kristie
I get 1329 calories and 20 net carbs when i run the recipe through Carb Manager.
Andrea
What is the nutritional value for these? I need to track it

Mitchell
For the stevia drops, what’s the conversion with regular granulated stevia? Can’t find the drops in my local store and I have SO MUCH granulated stevia on hand. Thanks for the intriguing recipe!
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I probably wouldn’t recommend the granulated stevia as it might leave a gritty consistency. This conversion calculator might help! https://sweetleaf.com/stevia-conversion-calculator/
Verna
I made these but added coconut flakes to the peanut butter
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
love the add of coconut! I’ve tried coconut extract in these as opposed to vanilla and I loved that flavor.
Stefani
I would love to share this recipe on my blog. These look delicious!
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
hope you enjoy!!
Rena
I just found this. I don’t have liquid stevia either.
Dissolve one teaspoon of white powder in three tablespoons of filtered water. Pour the solution into a dropper-style bottle and refrigerate. You can also buy ready-made stevia liquid concentrate from your local health food store.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
perfect hack!!! this is probably a lot cheaper too 🙂
Kim
When you say white powder do you mean the standard Stevia packets that you would use for tea or something?
Denise
Can these be made using butter instead of the coconut oil as the oil tends to upset my stomach. thanks
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
Yep! I would opt for grassfed but definitely give it a try!
Krissa
Is the conversion for butter & coconut oil equal or no? Also make I ask what the stevia extract is? I only have powdered and drops.
Thank you in advance for your assistance.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
stevia drops are the same. they should work great! and yes you can convert butter and coconut oil one for one melted!
Ashley
Hi what is the nutritional value?
Carbs, fat, fibre, sugar?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
nutrition facts are listed below recipe notes.
Ashley Bess
what kind of peanut butter did you use?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
you can use any natural peanut butter. check the sugar count to make sure it’s just peanuts, and doesn’t have added sugar.
Adam
The cocoa is very overpowering! The kids will be getting this batch. If I makes these again, I will do with 1/4 of the amount above.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
definitely depends on your tastes for sure! I like a strong chocolate flavor but definitely dial down if you want a more mild flavor.
Ryan
Are the macros posted for eating all 12. So you would divide those numbers by 12 to get macros for 1 fat bomb. Or are the numbers per bomb?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
macros are for the entire recipe
Suzi
Could you tell me approx how many this makes? you do say to put them in little muffin papers, but don’t say how many? mini muffin papers? curious as to the macros per serving.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
scroll down for macro info! It’s listed at the end of the post. I used regular sized muffins and it made about 12. You could make mini ones too, it would just make more. Just take the total amount of the macros at the end of the post and divide by how many total you end up with.
Nancy
Hi! I just made these using mini muffin tin. There would not have been enough of either filling to use regular sized tin! I double checked everything so I ended up with 12 tiny minis. You just said here you used a regular size 10. But the recipe says mini so I’m a little confused. Thanks looking forward to trying them after they freeze
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I did use a regular one and filled them halfway up. So they were minis for me but I did not make them in a mini pan since I didn’t have one.
Renata
Would you please share the macros for this recipe?
I understand that 1300 kl
20 total carbs
How about protein and fat??
mommafitpgh@gmail.com

Cynthia
This is the second time I have made these–LOVE them! They are my favorite fat bomb.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
that is great to hear!!! thanks for letting me know and I’m glad you like them!
Nancy
I only have powdered swerve can I use that? What would be the amount to use? Thx
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I haven’t made them with the confectioner’s type! If you do use it, I would see what a powdered sugar to regular sugar calculation would be and then use that!
Deanna Wirtanen
I use 1/4 cup confectioners swerve in place of liquid drops. I like to do both, You get a creamy fat bomb OR a crunchy 🙂
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
oh I love that! I have some, I’ll have to try! thanks for the recommendation 🙂
Kim
Hi! I’m using mini muffin pan to make these but do I need to use muffin liners? I made them without and now I can’t get them out of the pan!
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I did use muffin liners. I would imagine they would be very hard to get out of the pan if they were frozen to it. Def recommend liners!
Rachel
I made these last night and i didnt use muffin liners n mine popped out so easier right outta the freezer. I also have a nonstick pan tho so that maybe y it worked for me. But these are pretty amazing
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
love that they worked out for you even without the liners!
Carol
If I use PB2 instead of PB what ratio would you recommend? Same as PB or would it be less/more?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
Generally I believe it’s 2 TB of PB2/one TB of water which is 1 TB of nut butter, correct? I cannot attest to the flavor of these though as I do think PB2 would dilute the peanut butter taste. If you try it, let me know how it goes!
Carol
We made them with PB2, the last time, but my granddaughter was helping/showing us how to make them and I missed the ratio, they turned out great and didn’t lack the PB taste. Thanks for your reply.I will let you know how mine turn out. lol
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
oh thats great to know! might be a good switch for another option. thanks for sharing!
Melinda Hanks
I’m concerned about the Carbs? 20 is a lot.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
that is for the entire recipe
Joan
How many carbs per piece?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
check the recipe for macro info 🙂
Emily
These look great! I do not like artificial sweetners, do you think they would be okay without the stevia?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
stevia is actually not an artificial sweetener. It’s derived from the stevia plant. You could try them with no stevia but I can’t guarantee how they would taste
Emily
Oops I didn’t mean artificial I meant sugar substitutes. Just not a fan of the aftertaste.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
gotcha!! if you do try without a sweetener, let me know how it tastes! You may try Swerve too, it’s another keto-friendly sweetener that may work!
Jake
Is there supposed to be nut butter in both the chocolate and nut butter layers? That’s how the recipe reads.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
nut butter is in both layers.
Tina
You have nut better listed in both layers.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
yep nut butter is in both layers, sorry for the confusion 🙂
Donna
I am interested in this recipie, I don’t see how I can print it, is there a link that I am not seeing?

I’m so glad you liked them!
Nora
These are so delicious!!. It is my evening sweet treat with a cup of tea. They have become a staple in my daily diet!! Thank you for posting this recipe.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
you’re welcome! so glad you liked them!
KimH
I make these with powder stevia. 1 1/8th of a tsp is enough. But I also used carob powder it is very satisfying. You cant eat too many. But you dont need to. They fill you up. Nice to have the combination of carob and peanut butter.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
So glad you liked them!
Jenna
I followed this but it only made 9 cups for me… Haven’t tried them yet, but they are in the freezer so I am excited. I had a really hard time getting the chocolate into the muffin papers as it was so sticky and just not coming off the bowl haha.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
maybe try spraying them with coconut oil spray next time! Hope you enjoy!
Jess
Mine turned out super bitter. Too much cocoa or maybe the sweetener? I used the liquid Pyure. I couldn’t even eat them.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I’ve never used liquid Pyure so I am not sure how it tastes. If you follow the directions to a T and they are still bitter I would use less cocoa powder. But definitely could be the liquid Pyure.
Nicole Krause
If stored in the freezer how long to thaw before eating?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
they shouldn’t take too long to thaw. I would say maybe 5-10 minutes max. I usually eat them half frozen 🙂
Vicki
I made these yesterday. Thanks so much, they are delicious! Shared it with my sister and noticed something missing today… didn’t you offer 1/4 cup Swerve instead of 1/4 tsp liquid Stevia?? I used Swerve confectioners sugar replacement.
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
yep you can def use Swerve as a replacement if you prefer!
Kate
To clarify, the chocolate layer also has peanut butter?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
that is correct!
Mandy
I tried this with the coconut oil but I just am not a fan of coconut. So I was going to try it with just butter. You said the unsalted butter right? Also what’s the conversion between the drops and granular Swerve? Thank you!!
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
butter would work great! My hubby is the same way, not a fan of coconut so I will make with butter sometimes. the granular swerve may make it grainy so I would use caution when using. Just make sure you stir well. The conversion chart says 3/8 tsp liquid stevia to 1 tsp Swerve. You may have to experiment to see where you want it!
Dee
Could you provide the fiber count?
Thanks
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
9.1 grams of fiber
Danielle
What is the difference between stevia drops and stevia extract? Where do you buy the extract?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
you can purchase stevia extract at whole foods or amazon!
Gwendolyn
I substituted butter for coconut oil on the peanut butter top. Turned out yummy
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I bet they were amazing!!
Pansy
I stretched the recipe to 24 using my candy molds. Added extra stevia as it didn’t seem it would be enough for me. 🙂
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
great idea!!! how was adding in the extra stevia?
Nicole
The video and the written instructions vary quite a bit. The video calls for 4 T unsweet coco, the recipe says 1 tsp. It’s quite a difference! Can you please clarify which one is correct? Thanks!
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
the recipe notes call out that less cocoa powder make for a less intense cocoa flavor. We’ve had feedback that more was too bitter for some. If you want more intense cocoa flavor you can use up to 4 tbsp.
Rachel
I just made these and they turned out DELICIOUS! I’m so excited, as I am new to keto and I was wanting a sweet treat and these certainly did the trick. Thank you for such a simple recipe!
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I’m so glad you like them!
Marc
These are delicious
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I agree!
Vicki
Hi, I prefer monk fruit as the sweetener over stevia but not sure how much to use. I have the Lakanto liquid extract, should I use 1 tsp of it?
mommafitpgh@gmail.com
I haven’t tried Lakanto liquid yet. If you try it let me know how it turns out!
