Recipe Notes
Here’s the scoop on what you need to know to make my peanut butter fat bombs today:
Ingredient Notes
Fat bombs are seriously trending in the low carb, keto world. Everyone has been buzzing about them because they’re like eating healthy desserts without the sugar crash!
My recipe’s ingredients are pretty straightforward, but I wanted to give you the lowdown on a couple of the following:
Peanut butter – Everyone knows this ingredient BUT just be sure to select an unsalted, low carb option to keep the sodium and carb counts down in this recipe. (Most store-bought brands have loads of added sugar, so read the labels!)
Erythritol – This is the holy grail for a refined sugar substitute. It brings in ZERO calories or sugar, making it my go-to sugar substitute!
Low Carb Chocolate – Don’t be fooled, not all sugar-free chocolate is low carb! Check the labels.
Tools To Make
You only need TWO things to make my BOMB peanut butter fat bombs! Without further ado…
- A mini muffin tray. You could also use small ramekins, just be sure to grease them first.
- Mini baking cups. I also love using these mini silicone baking cups. They’re earth-friendly, give my peanut butter fat bombs ridges on the sides like Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (but better for you!) and make creating peanut butter fat bombs OH SO easy!
I mean, could they be ANY simpler to make?!?!
Storing Tips
My fat bombs are crazy delicious straight out of the freezer. You can also store them in the fridge to retain freshness for a couple of days too.
Can You Freeze These Healthy Snacks?
Yes, freezing these healthy snacks is what makes them solidify and ready to chow down! You can also leave them in the freezer until you’re ready to eat some healthy recipes deliciousness.
Recipe Variations
Like all good recipes, variety is key! Create your own fat bomb by getting some inspiration from the variations of my peanut butter fat bombs below:
- Add cream cheese to make cream cheese fat bombs (cream cheese is the ideal fat for this type of snack!). Cream cheese will soften these fat bombs up a bit, so add some butter as well to help make them firm. Psst – Want to amp up the flavor into something more cake-like? Make no bake cheesecake!
- Add coconut. Be sure to grab shredded and unsweetened coconut, and mix them into these fat bombs along with your chopped peanuts. Or, if you’re looking for something with TONS of coconut flava, look no further than coconut fat bombs! They’re coco-nutty!

Lindsey's Tips
- Chocolate. I love Lily's chocolate chips for this (they make dark, semi-sweet, and milk) but you can always make your own low carb chocolate by following my recipe!
- Lakanto, Swerve, or Erythritol. I stick to Lakanto and Swerve which are a 1:1 swap with traditional sugar. If using a different brand of Erythritol, keep in mind it's 70% as sweet as sugar, so you may need to add more to taste.
- Peanut Butter often contains added sugar. Read labels carefully before purchasing -- I love Justin's or Trader Joe's brand.
- Here are the silicone molds I used to make these fat bombs. I use them to make all sorts of fat bombs as well, so they're worth the investment!
