Why This Recipe is Awesome

• Save

First of all, no baking. Zero. Not even pretending. If your oven stays off, everyone wins.

Second, these fat bombs are filling. Like, eat-one-and-chill filling. They’re loaded with healthy fats that actually keep cravings in check instead of sending you on a snack spiral.

Third, the ingredient list is short and forgiving. No complicated steps. No keto wizardry. If you can stir things together, you’re already overqualified.

And let’s be honest—peanut butter + chocolate (optional) is a combo that never misses. Keto or not.

Ingredients You’ll Need

Nothing fancy. Just keto-friendly staples doing their thing.

• Natural peanut butter (unsweetened) – Check the label. It should be peanuts + salt. That’s it.
• Coconut oil – Helps the fat bombs firm up and adds richness.
• Powdered keto sweetener – Erythritol or monk fruit blend works best.
• Vanilla extract – Small amount, big upgrade.
• Pinch of salt – Even if your peanut butter is salted. Trust me.
• Optional add-ins – Sugar-free chocolate chips, cocoa powder, or crushed nuts.

That’s it. Five ingredients. Maximum payoff.

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Melt the coconut oil.
   Gently melt it until just liquid. Don’t overheat.
2. Add peanut butter to a bowl.
   Stir it well first if the oil has separated.
3. Mix in melted coconut oil.
   Stir until smooth and glossy.
4. Add sweetener, vanilla, and salt.
   Mix thoroughly so everything is evenly distributed.
5. Taste and adjust.
   Need more sweetness? Add a little more. Keto sweeteners vary.
6. Scoop into molds or liners.
   Silicone molds work best, but mini muffin liners are fine too.
7. Chill until firm.
   Refrigerate for 30–45 minutes, or freeze for 15.
8. Enjoy responsibly.
   Or not. No judgment here.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

• Using sweetened peanut butter.
  Hidden sugar = not keto-friendly.
• Skipping powdered sweetener.
  Granulated sweetener stays gritty. Texture matters.
• Overdoing the coconut oil.
  Too much makes them oily instead of creamy.
• Not tasting before chilling.
  Fixing sweetness after they set is annoying.
• Leaving them out at room temp too long.
  They soften fast. Store them cold.

Alternatives & Substitutions

• Save

• Nut-free option:
  Use sunflower seed butter. Slightly different flavor, still delicious.
• Extra chocolatey:
  Add cocoa powder or drizzle melted sugar-free chocolate on top.
• Dairy-free:
  Already dairy-free. Keto win.
• Crunchy version:
  Stir in chopped peanuts or keto-friendly nuts.
• Less sweet:
  Reduce sweetener and let the peanut butter shine. IMO, still amazing.
