Coconut Butter & Peanut Butter Fat Bombs Recipe
Author: Lauren Fox
Fat bombs? Really? And yet, somehow, they are part of a keto-friendly diet, a trendy way of eating lately, but it’s not that new. Chocolate Covered Katie’s blog says, “Fat bombs are typically made with ingredients such as nut butters or coconut oil, cocoa powder, cream cheese or avocado, and little to no sugar.” (She also has a yummy fat bomb recipe on her site if interested, too! She actually has TONS of yummy recipes, so go check her out.)
Many people have very different views on how much fat to eat in a day, but whatever dietary choices you make, all can agree that these treats are high in heart-healthy fat, which helps you to feel full and satisfied with just a small amount!
These fat bombs happen to be courtesy of Nutrition Response Testing™ practitioner and founder of Health by Design, Dr. Kristy Harvell. She says, “Eat to lose fat. Fat isn’t the enemy if you’re eating the right sources!” Sounds like a win, right? This recipe is not only delicious, but it’s vegan (if that’s appealing to you) and no-bake, so these fat bombs are super easy to make!

Ingredients for coconut butter fat bombs
1/2 Bag Lily’s or Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips (or any Organic Chocolate Chips)
1/2 Jar Organic Coconut Butter
2 TBS Organic Coconut Oil
Ingredients for peanut butter fat bombs
1/2 Bag Lily’s or Enjoy Life Chocolate Chips (or any Organic Chocolate Chips)
8 TBS Natural Organic Peanut Butter
4 TBS Organic Coconut Butter
Directions for coconut butter fat bombs:
In double boiler, melt chocolate with coconut oil. Pour into silicone molds* (1/2 way or the amount you would prefer in the molds you are working with). Put in freezer until hardened. Wash double boiler and then liquefy 1/2 of one jar of coconut butter. Pour over the hardened chocolate and return to the freezer. Enjoy!
Directions for peanut butter fat bombs:
In double boiler, melt chocolate with 2 TBS Coconut Oil. Pour into silicone molds* (1/2 way or the amount you would prefer in the molds you are working with). Put in freezer until hardened. Wash double boiler. Then mix peanut butter and remaining 2 TBS of coconut oil in double boiler, stir until melted and incorporated. Pour over hardened chocolate and return to freezer. Enjoy!
*Tip from Chocolate Covered Katie’s blog: If you don’t have a mold, freeze in either an ice cube tray or a small container, then cut up into squares. Store leftovers in the freezer, because coconut oil melts at room temperature.
