Ingredients You’ll Need

Let’s talk about what you need to create this glorious treat. Don’t worry; these ingredients are pretty wallet-friendly, too. Here’s what you’ll be grabbing from your kitchen:

• Natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no added oils)
• Coconut oil (refined for a neutral flavor or unrefined for that coconut goodness)
• Unsalted butter or ghee (optional but adds a luxurious creaminess)
• Unsweetened cocoa powder or cacao powder
• Powdered keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or a blend; powdered dissolves best)
• Vanilla extract
• Pinch of sea salt
• Optional add-ins: sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, unsweetened coconut flakes
• Optional coating: flaky sea salt or a dusting of cocoa powder

How to Make (Step-by-Step)

Let’s get down to the nitty-gritty. Trust me; it’s quick and easy. Here’s how you do it:

STEP 1: Set Up Your Molds

Use a silicone mini-muffin tray or cute little silicone candy molds. If you don’t have any fancy molds, line a small loaf pan with parchment paper for slicing later!

STEP 2: Warm the Base

In a small saucepan over low heat, combine 1/2 cup peanut butter, 1/3 cup coconut oil, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (if you’re using it). Stir gently until everything’s smooth and blended.

STEP 3: Flavor It Up

Whisk in 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, 2–4 tablespoons powdered keto sweetener (totally to your taste), 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt. Mix until it’s shiny and lump-free.

STEP 4: Taste and Adjust

Grab a spoon and take a taste. Want it sweeter? Add more sweetener. If it’s too thick, whisk in 1–2 teaspoons more coconut oil.

STEP 5: Add Extras (Optional)

Feeling adventurous? Fold in 2 tablespoons of sugar-free chocolate chips or a tablespoon of chopped peanuts for a delightful crunch.

STEP 6: Fill the Molds

Pour that delicious mixture into your molds, leaving a little gap at the top. If using a loaf pan, just smooth it down with a spatula.

STEP 7: Chill to Set

Refrigerate for 45–60 minutes, or if you’re feeling impatient like me, pop them in the freezer for 20–30 minutes, until they’re solid but soft to the bite.

STEP 8: Finish and Store

Once they’re set, take them out and sprinkle with a touch of flaky sea salt if you want to get fancy. Store those beauties in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.

Pro Tips for the Best Results

• Measure Accurately: Make sure you get the measurements right for the best consistency.
• Don’t Rush the Chilling: I know waiting is tough, but try to chill them fully. It makes a difference!
• Experiment With Flavors: Add a dash of cinnamon or a drop of peppermint extract—sky’s the limit!

Fun Variations & Topping Ideas

Variations:

• Nutty Delight: Toss in some almond butter alongside the peanut butter for a nut mix.
• Berry Sweet: Add a tablespoon of freeze-dried raspberries for a fruity punch.

Toppings:

• Chocolate Drizzle: Melt some sugar-free chocolate and drizzle it over the cooled fat bombs.
• Coconut Flakes: Sprinkling some unsweetened coconut flakes gives it that tropical vibe.

Storing and Reheating

Storing:

Keep those fat bombs in an airtight container in the fridge for about two weeks or in the freezer for up to two months.

Reheating:

Need a quick snack? Trust me, they taste better cold, but if you want a warm treat, pop them in the microwave for just 5-10 seconds.

Leftover Ideas

What’s that? You have leftovers? Lucky you! Try crumbling them over Greek yogurt, mixing into smoothies, or even using them in chia pudding. The possibilities are endless!
