Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • measuring cups
  • measuring spoons
  • Small cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Mini muffin pan or plate
  • Parchment paper or liners

Ingredients

For the coconut fat bombs

  • 1 cup refined coconut oil melted and slightly cooled
  • 3/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
  • 1/2 cup creamy almond butter unsweetened and unsalted
  • 1/3 cup powdered erythritol or monk fruit erythritol blend or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/8 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste

Optional mix-ins and toppings

  • 1/4 cup sugar-free dark chocolate chips at least 70% cocoa, roughly chopped if large
  • 2 tablespoons chopped nuts or seeds such as pecans, walnuts, or sunflower seeds

Instructions

  • Line a mini muffin pan with paper liners or place a sheet of parchment paper on a small baking sheet or plate that will fit in your fridge or freezer.
  • If your coconut oil or almond butter is very firm, gently warm them in a small saucepan over low heat or in short bursts in the microwave until just melted or easily stirrable, then let cool slightly so they are warm but not hot.
  • Add the melted coconut oil, almond butter, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, and sea salt to a medium mixing bowl and whisk or stir until completely smooth and well combined.
  • Fold in the unsweetened shredded coconut until it is evenly distributed and the mixture thickens slightly.
  • If using sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped nuts or seeds, gently fold them into the mixture so they are evenly dispersed without overmixing.
  • Use a small cookie scoop or a tablespoon to portion the mixture into the prepared mini muffin liners or onto the parchment, aiming for about one rounded tablespoon per fat bomb.
  • Tap the pan or sheet lightly on the counter to level the tops, then place in the refrigerator for about 1 hour or in the freezer for about 30 minutes, until the fat bombs are firm and fully set.
  • Once set, transfer the fat bombs to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 3 months, allowing frozen fat bombs to soften at room temperature for about 10 to 15 minutes before enjoying.

Notes

Refined coconut oil keeps the coconut flavor milder, while unrefined coconut oil will add a stronger coconut aroma, so choose based on your taste preference. Start with the lower end of sweetener and adjust to taste by mixing thoroughly and sampling a small amount before chilling. To prevent absorbing fridge odors, always store these fat bombs in a tightly sealed container. For easier macro tracking, weigh or measure the total batch, divide by the number of portions, and log each fat bomb accordingly. Keep them chilled until serving, as they will soften at warm room temperatures due to the high coconut oil content.
