Tips
Coconut Oil Temperature: Use melted but not hot coconut oil. If too hot, it can separate from other ingredients.
Sweetener Choice: Powdered erythritol dissolves better than granulated. Monk fruit sweetener works well too, but start with less as it's sweeter.
Peanut Butter Type: Use natural peanut butter without added sugars or oils. Stir well before measuring if oil has separated.
Texture Preference: For smoother fat bombs, blend all ingredients in a food processor until completely smooth.
Storage: Keep refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or freeze for up to 3 months. They soften quickly at room temperature.
Carb Count: Each fat bomb contains approximately 2g net carbs and 8g fat, perfect for maintaining ketosis.
Portion Control: These are calorie-dense treats meant to provide quick energy and satisfy cravings. One or two is usually sufficient.
Variations: Try almond butter instead of peanut butter, or add coconut flakes, cinnamon, or espresso powder for different flavors.
