Before you know it, the Holidays will soon be upon us. That means we keto-ers are gonna need some backup. Any day of the year, the best snack on the planet is the keto fat bomb. Why is it is the best? Check out all the best keto fat bombs below!
Why Are Keto Fat Bombs So Great?
- They are full of healthy fat that will keep you full for a long time
- They are basically dessert (unless you make a savory one, and then it’s basically a meal)
- There are endless possibilities with just 3 ingredients
Did I mention you can have chocolate?
What 3 Ingredients Are Needed For The Best Keto Fat Bomb?
- Healthy Fats: MCT oil, Coconut Butter, Cocoa Butter, Coconut Oil, Coconut Cream, Coconut Milk, Ghee, Grass Fed Butter, Nut butters , Sugar-Free Chocolate Sunflower Spread, Heavy Whipping Cream, Cream Cheese
- Texture/Binders: Nut Flours, Shredded Coconut, Chia Seeds, Walnuts, Pecans, Ground Flaxseed, Whey powder, MCT Oil Powder, Collagen Powder
- Flavoring/Spices: Keto-approved sweeteners that are powdered, granulated, or flavored/liquid [see section below], Extracts such as vanilla or peppermint, Spices such as cinnamon or nutmeg, Sugar-Free Gelatin, Sugar-Free Maple Syrup, Cocoa Powder, Sugar-Free Chocolate Chips
So pick 1-2 ingredients from each category and get to experimenting! You will literally never run out of ways to make fat bombs.
Once you’ve picked your ingredients, usually it’s just a matter of combining the ingredients according to the recipe then freezing/refrigerating for the fat bombs to set up.
Most often, you will store the fat bombs in the fridge or freezer for best results, but some will stay together on-the-go.
Keto-Approved Sweeteners
- Monk Fruit Sweetener [granulated, powdered, liquid, flavored]
- Sugar-Free Maple Syrup
- Stevia
- Erythritol [granulated or powdered]
- Sugar-Free sweetener blends
- Xylitol
- Allulose
- Yacon Syrup
- EZ Sweets Liquid
Silicone Molds For Making Keto Fat bombs
Trust me. You’re going to want some great quality silicone molds when making fat bombs. They are non-stick, super easy to clean, and flexible so it makes the fat bombs easier to pop out and pop into your mouth.
If you don’t have these, you can use anything you have on hand really. For the fat bombs that need to set up in the freezer, you can use a mini cupcake tin or loaf pan.
Or you can freeze the entire batch and scoop out with a small cookie scoop. Some fat bombs you can just form into dough balls and store in the fridge.
Fat Bomb Meal Prep
Another great benefit of fat bombs (besides being the easiest thing in the world to make) is the fact that each one of the below recipes are 1-2 net carbs, only take about 10 minutes to make, and make about 20-40 fat bombs that you can keep in your fridge or freezer. I love that these can be easily meal prepped on a Sunday and last you a month. Well…maybe 2 weeks since these taste so dang good!
These aren’t just for those following the keto diet either. Your kids or anyone you know for that matter will love these tasty treats. You can make these as an appetizer for your next party and no one will know the difference!
So go into the Holidays with some backup to help you stay on track and away from the cookies (unless, of course, it’s a keto cookie). Check out the recipes below and tell me what you think!

Shirley says
This all look absolutely delicious! I can’t wait to try them. My one question is there anything that you can substitute for the recipes with sugar free powdered sugar? Can I use Stevia and crush it finer? Or what would you suggest. Thank you!
Olivia Wyles says
You can use any sweetener that fits in your lifestyle, and for those that call for powdered, yes, you can blitz it in the food processor to make it finer.
Margaret says
Hi I made the alternate chocolate brownie bombs and they were so yummy! Thank you for your great recipes.
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Margaret, you are so sweet! Thank you for trying them 😀
Melanie says
Do you have the fat gms per piece or other nutrition info?
Olivia Wyles says
Right now I just have net carb counts. I am working on adding more nutrition info later. I suggest inputting into a carb count manager for the most accurate results. Keto on!
Cheryl says
Can you use regular flour rather than almond flour? I’m looking for more protein than anything for this. Thank you.
Olivia Wyles says
Regular flour is not recommended on the keto diet. If you are looking for more protein, try a protein powder or meal replacement powder like Keto Chow to supplement.
Roxanne says
Hello! I’m really liking those recipes so far 🙂 I want to try the alternate chocolate peanut butter one (your favorite) but the amount of sweetener is not specified, could you tell me in g or oz ?
Olivia Wyles says
It’s about 4 grams or 1 teaspoon.
Gabriella says
Really great fat bomb cheat-sheet. But how do you choose the proportions of each ingredient?
Olivia Wyles says
If you’re just eyeballing it without a recipe, I would do 2:1 for fat and textures, then sweeten slightly to taste, then add more if you want it sweeter.
Stephanie Fominaya says
Why the hate on Splenda?
Genuinely curious as it’s my favorite of the sweeteners.
Olivia Wyles says
Splenda is all right and does its job well. It’s just not my preferred sweetener because Lakanto’s tastes and bakes up just like sugar, plus it’s all natural.
Bianca says
Splenda is neither a zero-calorie nor a keto-friendly sweetener. It’s able to cause an increase in blood glucose and insulin levels. It also contains sugars, glucose and maltodextrin. There still remain concerns about the safety of Splenda, especially when used in cooking.
I copy and pasted this from perfectketo.com
Daniele says
Yes, please! I was just looking for the same information.
Pamela says
These sound amazing but I would like to have the fat and protein content for each. Where can I find that?
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Pamela, I have updated the post to include carb counts. For other macros, you can plug into Carb Manager or Cron-o-meter. Since every brand is different, the nutrition facts are estimations.
Julie says
The ones made with Jello, Are they 6oz or 3oz boxes?
Olivia Wyles says
I believe I used the large box, 6 oz.
Briana says
Hiow much fat are in these fat bombs. I just made the snickerdoodle and they are amazing!
Olivia Wyles says
Hi Briana, I updated this post with carb counts, but you can use Carb Manager or Cron-o-meter to get the other macros. Since each brand is different, nutrition facts are estimations.
Cortney says
I agree!I want to make these so bad, but I need to know the amount of protein and fat as well at the very least.😭
Ashley says
If you use Carb Manager it’ll tell you! I use the free version
Lisa says
What size do I make the servings?
Olivia Wyles says
Usually 1-2 tablespoons.
Helen Barrett says
Can the flours be changed up?
Olivia Wyles says
I would use the same flours for the best outcome.
