What Is A Fat Bomb?

A fat bomb is a small, high-fat, and low carb bite or snack that’s high in healthy fats and low in other macros (at least 85 percent fat). They can be either sweet or savory. Fat bombs are particularly popular with people following a keto diet, but anyone can enjoy them.

My go-to sweetener for making keto fat bombs is powdered Besti. It leaves a smooth texture, but more importantly, tastes just like sugar. Unlike erythritol, which is found in most sweeteners (even ones labeled monk fruit or stevia), this one has no cooling aftertaste and won’t crystallize when you store your fat bomb recipes.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for keto-friendly chocolate fat bombs, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card.

• Macadamia Nuts – These are the creamiest keto nut and offer rich monounsaturated fats. If unsalted, add sea salt for flavor, or try almonds or pecans for similar (but less creamy) results.
• Coconut Oil – Adds creaminess and healthy fats. You can also substitute grass-fed butter. Melt befoer adding to the keto fat bomb mixture.
• MCT Oil – This oil is great for keto for the same reasons as bulletproof coffee, but you can also swap this for more coconut oil if you like. Coconut oil will make firmer bites, so is a good option if you plan to take them on the go.
• Vanilla Extract – This is optional, but add it if you have it for the best flavor.
• Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – This is the best sweetener to keep your snacks smooth, not gritty, with no cooling effect or aftertaste. For other sugar substitutes, you can also use plain powdered allulose or powdered erythritol, but don’t use granulated or liquid sweeteners. A granulated sweetener will be grainy, and a liquid one will make them too runny. Use this sweetener conversion chart if you need other options.
• Cocoa Powder – Make sure it’s unsweetened.

How To Make Keto Fat Bombs

This section shows how to make fat bombs, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card.

1. Pulse the nuts. Pulse the macadamia nuts in a food processor or high-power blender, starting and stopping, until mostly broken down into small pieces.
2. Add the MCT oil, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Continue to puree until nut butter forms.

3. Add the dry ingredients. Add the cocoa powder and sweetener gradually, a couple tablespoons at a time. Puree after each addition, until smooth.
4. Assemble. Line a mini muffin pan with parchment liners. Pour or spoon the batter evenly into each liner, filling to the top. Sprinkle crushed macadamia nuts over the cups.

5. Freeze. Place the keto fat bombs in the freezer, until solid.

Storage Instructions

• Store: Once set, you can keep your fat bombs in an airtight container in the fridge. Don’t leave them at room temperature.
• Freeze: To freeze keto fat bomb recipes, place the tray in the freezer until solid, then transfer them to a zip lock bag or freezer-safe container. This is the best way to store them for long-term freshness.
