    3 Keto Fat Bomb Recipes

    I love to keep a variety of fat bombs in my freezer for an easy anytime snack.  The flavors of these three fat bombs are butter cookie, chocolate chip cookie dough, and strawberry cheesecake.

    • WHAT ARE FAT BOMBS

    Fat bombs are little bites of heaven.  Usually sweet but sometimes savory…they are commonly made with coconut oil, butter, cream cheese, almond flour, or peanut butter.

    The macros are majority fat, which means they are calorie dense.

    • ARE THEY GOOD FOR YOU

    When eaten in moderation on a low carbohydrate diet, they are good at keeping hunger under control.  If your goal is fat loss, you still need to be in a calorie deficit.  That is why I make these fat bombs on the smaller side so you can adjust your serving according to your goals.

    • HOW MANY CAN I EAT PER DAY

    The amount of fat bombs you can eat per day really depends on your calorie goals.  You could eat 10 per day if you wanted to, though you couldn’t eat much less.  There is no prescribed amount of fat bombs you should eat in order to stay in ketosis or to be successful on a keto diet.

    Now that we have gotten the specifics of fat bombs out of the way, we can start making some!

    I like to keep these 3 varieties in the freezer at all times.  They are really good frozen!

    BUTTER COOKIE

    First up is my original original energy bite from back in 2016.  This was one of the first recipes I put on my blog and it is always a big hit!

    The ingredients in this are so simple…all you do is mix together almond flour, butter, granular sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

    The amount for the ingredients are down in the recipe card.

    I use a 1 Tablespoon sized cookie scoop to divide the dough into 12 bites.

    CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE DOUGH

    These use the same ingredients as the butter cookie, but we added chocolate chips.  They are so amazing!

    This version made 14 bites.

    STRAWBERRY CHEESECAKE

    Guys, these are heaven.  I started with softened cream cheese and I mixed in powdered sweetener.

    This is the secret ingredient…freeze dried strawberries.  You find these at any grocery store or on Amazon.

    The whole 1 ounce bag only added 1 net carb per fat bomb and it is so worth it.

    I crushed the dried strawberries in a mini food processor and then mixed the powder into the cream cheese.

    Use the same 1 tablespoon scoop to make 17 cheesecake fat bombs.

      Using the freeze dried fruit was genius. I found the Strawberries and right next to them was a bag of freeze dried Tart Cherries with Apples. I used the same measurements but cut back on the sweetener by about a third. I think I liked the cherries better. When I decided to make them again, I noticed a jar of Peanut Butter Powder in the cabinet and thought “Peanut Butter Cup”. I used 3 tablespoons of powder, 1/2 a pack of Cream Cheese and 2 teaspoons of monk fruit sweetener. Then I melted some Lily’s dark chocolate with a little monk fruit for @ 30 seconds in the microwave, stirred it up and did another 15-20 seconds. This hardened the chocolate. Not my intention, but it worked better than expected when I broke it up and it looked and acted like Oreo crumble. I topped all three versions (strawberry, cherry and PB) with chocolate crumble and….pretty sure I heard a choir singing.

      I’m so excited to try the butter cream one. They’re in my freezer right now but for some reason I was only able to make 7 when the recipe says it’ll make 12. Maybe I made them too big?

        I just wanted to thank you for this comment as it was a warning for me to make teaspoon size bombs. I only made half the recipe but ended up with 6 so maybe that’s the measurement

        Have you tried sunflower seed flour? It is a substitute for almond flour and is measures the same. Coconut flour doesn’t measure the same

      I didn’t have any sugar alternative, so I added almond extract, peanut butter (4TBS), and some sea salt. Turned out good. I did choc chip version. I also had 60% cocao chips, so a bit more sugar than darker choc.

      So lovely to see someone make fat bomb recipes that aren’t just full of coconut oil. I’ve never yet found a single sweet fat bomb recipe that I could eat as my body doesn’t tolerate coconut. Thank you!

      I was missing my savory treats, so tried it now with about 2 tbsp melted garlic butter, about 1 tbsp melted ghee, ground black pepper, chilly powder, some garam masala and adjusted to about 1 cup almond flour. It has come out so well, with slight sweetness from the flour and ghee and spicy aftertaste too. Yummy!! Thank you.

      My son is allergic to almonds! What else can we use instigated almond flour that’s still keto friendly? He is not allergic to peanuts- caschews – But other tree nuts like walnuts he is. Thanks coconut is fine as well.

      These are so delicious. I usually make them with rum extract for a butter rum flavour. I just made another batch and added a bit of cinnamon. Next time I’m going to try coconut and pineapple extract for a pina colada flavour.

      Uhh I just made these and they are perfect! I’m not a fan of the flavor of artificial sweetener, so I put just a scant teaspoon of Swerve. I used almond extract and needed more moisture in a pinch, so I added a dollop of Walden Farms SF maple syrup.

      These are absolutely amazing! Wish I would have had some chopped pecans to roll them around in! Next time…

      WOW!! I made the recipe as-is, except I used unsalted butter. My mom makes crescent cookies at Christmastime, and I used to LOVE to eat the dough. I am now a Type 1 Diabetic, so cookie and cookie dough are off limits. These fat bombs taste just like the dough I loved from my childhood, so THANK YOU for this recipe!

      I tried this recipe as is except I added flaxseed and coconut flakes. . .. That was a complete fail. The texture was off and didn’t taste good at all. After staring at the failed fat bombs in the fridge for two days I decided to give it another try but with coconut flour and no flaxseed or flakes. Obviously I added too much flour so I had to add more butter. The consistency was still off but it smelled just like the royal dansk Danish cookies so I knew I was on to something. I added a tad more vanilla and about 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream ( first time ever using it) and omg it immediately made the texture perfect. The consistency began looking like short bread, crumby but still sticking together. Formed them into ball shapes and couldn’t even chill them before I ate 3!!!! What a great recipe. I am a lover of sweets, butter cookies, coconut cookies and this is definitely a guilt free way to enjoy it.

      I used orange extract for one batch and another with lemon extract. I also swapped coconut flour for the almond flour, but only used 1/4 cup and added a few tablespoons as needed. Also used confectioners swerve. I thought about making a peppermint batch during the holidays. I’m not big on sweets anyway, but occasionally enjoy a treat. Keep them in the freezer and I’m good to go. I like the idea of rolling them in granular swerve. Lots of versatility and fun to play around with.

      Easy! Perfect recipe for instant gratification! I used granular Swerve (eryithritol) but it would be better with confectioners style I think. And yes, I love those cookies in the blue tin too and I am also a Cookie Monster. Thank you for posting!
