Yep… fat bombs. In case you haven’t noticed, these little goodies are sort of taking the internet health circuit by storm. Healthy fats are all the rage, and with my low carb endeavors, I’m no stranger to needing to find creative ways to get more fat into my eating plan.
When fat needs to be your primary fuel, you realize it’s not as easy as it seems to get enough of it. At least, not if you eat clean.
Typically, clean eaters work at keeping their healthy fat content in strict moderation. But when you eat low carb, the focus of your eating plan really does become all about the fats. It’s definitely a shift in thinking that is taking some getting used to. But while I get used to the idea, I’m definitely enjoying the process. Fat is yummy and I’m actually losing weight while my blood work numbers improve!!
So I thought I would try my own version of these lovely little snacks.

Clean Eating Peanut Butter Fat Bombs Recipe:
Trying to make sure you get healthy fats into your eating plan? These delicious little goodies will definitely get the job done!
- 1/2 cup virgin coconut oil, in liquid state
- 1/4 cup clean peanut butter
- 1 1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
- pure liquid stevia to taste
-
In a mixing bowl, thoroughly combine all the ingredients using a fork spoon.
-
Set 13 mini muffin or cupcake papers/liners on a cookie sheet that fits in your freezer. If you have a mini muffin pan and it fits in your freezer, that's an even better option. But mine didn't fit, so I just used a small cookie sheet. (Thats why my fat bombs are not perfectly circular)
-
Pour 1 tbsp. of peanut butter mix into a mini muffin paper.
-
Set the tray in the freezer for about 2 hours.
-
Once completely solidified, you can remove the fat bombs from the cookie try and store them in a bag or container and return them to the freezer.
-
Pull one out to munch on whenever you need an extra dose of healthy fats!
Sue says
Sounds yummy, although I might need to add some cocoa powder for when I have to have something chocolate! Thanks again Tiffany!
The Gracious Pantry says
Sue – Sure! You could also dip these in melted chocolate. That would be yummy! 😀
JoAnn says
Do you think honey would substitute easily for the stevia? I’m not a fan of the stevia aftertaste.
The Gracious Pantry says
JoAnn – It probably would, although you may have to adjust up a bit on the coconut oil to get it to solidify properly. You’d have to mess around with it a little bit to see what works.
Lori says
MMMMM…these sound delish! Can’t wait to try them! I do not even think they need the sweetner.
The Gracious Pantry says
Lori – I tried them without and didn’t really care for them. But that’s just my personal taste. You may like them that way! 🙂
JILL says
I KNOW THE RECIPE CALLS FOR STEVIA TO TASTE BUT HOW MUCH DID YOU USE?
The Gracious Pantry says
Jill – I didn’t measure. I really did add to taste. Sorry. 🙁
Jamie says
I made these yesterday and didn’t put in any stevia or sweetener (I’m not big on sweets in general) and I love them! These are amazing and delicious, not to mention simple to make! I do clean eating and low carb and I am so glad you posted this recipe.
Thanks!
The Gracious Pantry says
Jamie – Fantastic!! 😀 I’m so happy you enjoyed them!
Barbara says
Can you use coconut butter instead of oil and powdered peanut butter?
The Gracious Pantry says
Barbara – I don’t consider powdered peanut butter to be clean, so I’ve never used it. You could try coconut butter. I think they have roughly the same consistency, don’t they? I think that should work as long as it solidifies the way coconut oil does when it gets cold.
Abigail says
Would it be possible to do 1/4 cup coconut oil and 1/4 cup pure MCT oil?
The Gracious Pantry says
Abigail – MCT oil doesn’t harden the way coconut oil does. I think you’d end up with goop.
Danielle says
Do you know the carb and fiber content per bomb?
The Gracious Pantry says
Danielle – You would have to enter the recipe into a recipe calculator. MyFitnessPal.com has one that’s super easy to use.
Roberta steele says
What are the calories, fat and carbs fir these?
The Gracious Pantry says
Roberta – You would have to enter the recipe into an online calculator. MyFitnessPal.com has a super easy one.
Lena says
I just made these and they were very good. I used Crazy Richard’s crunchy peanut butter. Very easy recipe. Thanks.
The Gracious Pantry says
Lena – Thanks for the feedback! I’m so happy you enjoyed them! 🙂
Hahna says
Love love love these! Every fat bomb recipe I found seemed to have fake sugars and even when they’re natural, I’d rather just avoid them. This recipe works PERFECTLY with no stevia at all. My first fat bombs and so far I don’t plan to use any other recipe for my freezer stash.
The Gracious Pantry says
Hahna – That’s fantastic!! I’m so happy you love them! Definitely time to stock that freezer! 😀
Lorra Isom says
Can I skip the cinnamon?
The Gracious Pantry says
Lorna – Sure!
Cameron A. says
Good day miss. 🙂 I been out of the Army now for a couple years and trying to get back into “army shape” (we all know that won’t happen lol.) So I’ve been trying the Keto diet with amazing results (3 pounds per week on average!) I just wanted to give you a big shoutout as this has become a “cornerstone” or staple in my diet. Thank you so very much!
The Gracious Pantry says
Cameron – My pleasure! Glad it’s helping! 🙂
Melody says
Would this recipe work with almond butter or another nut butter?
The Gracious Pantry says
Melody – In theory, yes, it should. But I haven’t tried it.
Linda says
I just made these! Delicious! I added a pecan to each and sprinkled Himalayan sea salt! So satisfying! I think they will help me stick to keto!
The Gracious Pantry says
Linda – Fantastic!! That salt sounds like a nice addition! 🙂
Amanda says
What is considered to be a clean peanut butter? Thanks

Rachel says
I’m allergic to coconut, any substitute for the coconut oil?
The Gracious Pantry says
Rachel – You need a fat that hardens. I suppose you could try butter, but it won’t be the same. I’m working on more of these though, so I’ll work on it.
Katherine says
Could you substitute with a powder peanut butter? What would the ratio be?
The Gracious Pantry says
Katherine – Firstly, it wouldn’t be clean. Second, it would throw the ratios off completely. If you want to use it, I recommend fining a different recipe that is based on the use of powdered peanut butter.
Krystal says
Hey I was just wondering would I be able to leave the bombs in the fridge to set instead of freezer as mine is broken. Would it just take longer to set or does it have to be in freezer. Thanks for awesome recipe 😊
The Gracious Pantry says
Krystal – I’m sure it would be fine. I would leave it overnight. Let me know how you like them! 🙂
Diane says
Can I use powder stevia instead of liquid?
The Gracious Pantry says
Diane – Sure! 🙂
