Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no added oils)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (refined or unrefined)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter or ghee (optional for richness)
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
- 2–4 tablespoons powdered keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or a blend; powdered dissolves best)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional Add-ins
- 2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate chips
- 1 tablespoon chopped peanuts
- Unsweetened coconut flakes
Optional Coating
- Flaky sea salt
- Dusting of cocoa powder
Instructions
- Set up your molds: Use a silicone mini-muffin tray or silicone candy molds. Alternatively, line a small loaf pan with parchment paper if you prefer to slice the fat bombs into squares later.
- Warm the base: In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the peanut butter, coconut oil, and unsalted butter or ghee. Stir gently until the mixture is smooth, homogeneous, and fully combined without overheating.
- Flavor it up: Whisk in the unsweetened cocoa powder, powdered keto sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until the mixture is glossy and lump-free, ensuring even flavor throughout.
- Taste and adjust: Dip a spoon into the mixture to taste. Add more powdered sweetener if a sweeter taste is desired, or stir in 1 to 2 teaspoons of coconut oil if the texture is too thick.
- Add extras (optional): Fold in sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped peanuts to add texture and flavor depth. Mix evenly without over-stirring.
- Fill the molds: Pour the mixture into the prepared silicone molds or loaf pan, leaving a small gap at the top to allow for expansion and ease of removal.
- Chill to set: Refrigerate the molds for 45–60 minutes, or freeze for 20–30 minutes, until the fat bombs are firm but still soft to the bite. They should pop out of the molds easily.
- Finish and store: Remove the fat bombs from the molds and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired. Store the fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
Notes
- Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils to keep this recipe keto-friendly.
- If you prefer a stronger coconut flavor, use unrefined coconut oil.
- The amount of powdered sweetener can be adjusted to taste; start with less and add more if needed.
- Butter or ghee is optional but adds a creamier texture and richer flavor.
- For easy removal, silicone molds are recommended but not required.
- Fat bombs can be portioned into small sizes to control calorie intake.
- Store leftovers properly to maintain freshness and texture.
- Freezing reduces setting time but may slightly harden the texture.
