    4 coconut fat bombs sitting on a small blue dish

    Fat bombs are a fabulous way to curb your appetite. You may never have heard of fat bombs, and the idea of adding MORE healthy fat into our diet is the exact opposite of what we have been told for years - to cut back on fat.

    But eating more healthy fats will keep us sustained for hours and coconut oil especially, has an amazing array of health benefits such as antifungal, antiviral and contains lauric acid and medium-chain triglycerides which are metabolised uniquely to have beneficial effects in the brain.

    Coconut Fat Bombs 

    But remember, before you can increase your fat intake, it is imperative you must cut back on your carbs otherwise you are eating a SAD diet (standard American diet) high fat and high carbs which is an absolute health disaster.

    These fat bombs use butter which has some carbs compared to coconut oil, but many people just do not like the texture of plain coconut oil.

    See below for more low carb sweet treats. I'm sure there are a few flavours you will like.

        Not really, you would lose the coconut flavour and the cocoa butter has a higher melting point it's the fat bombs will be super hard. If you have cocoa butter to use, you might enjoy my easy paleo chocolate bark recipe instead?

      Delicious! I added a splash of vanilla extract and a dash of salt. I did not add any sweetener - these don't need any! So good! Melt in your mouth goodness!

      Hi Libby, I love your site and recipes! I've been wondering if you would try to come up with a recipe(s) for a fat bomb soup. Your fat bombs are good, but I'm trying to rid myself of such a sweet tooth. I did try a fat bomb soup using avocado. While I'm fairly easy to please, I must say, I had to force myself to eat it all. Also, I checked your soup recipes to see if I could just add more fat to them, but I am not a fan of savory pumpkin. I might be asking too much, as at the same time, I'm cutting waaay back on veggies (too many carbs). Thanks for any help you can offer. 🙂

      I am making the coconut fat bombs. But the measurements are off according to Google and my scales. My breakdown is
      75grams=2/3cup
      25grams=2Tbs not 1/4 cup. 50 grams=1/4 cup

      Am I doing something wrong?
      I only got 9 bombs with 1 tsp per bomb and that was stretching it! Please help!

      These were way too sweet for me (I am just very sensitive to the slight bitterness of stevia) so next time I will probably just cut that amount in half. I love the texture of these!

        AVOID "Truvia". It's fake made by coca cola. It only contains THREE Ingredients and not one of those 3 are even Stevia. Google it. Sad. But "Sweet Leaf Stevia Ive used for 15 years. Best quality out there, besides you buying pure green Stevia powder or growing the herb in your garden. Trivia cannot be grown. It's all chemicals. SWEET LEAF is the best stevia!!! Its not bleached either, like some brands.

      Just made these and they are delicious. I made the coconut butter in my food processor. Takes a bit of time but when using 0 net carb unsweetened shredded coconut these are essentially no carb fat bombs. I did melt coconut oil with 100% cacao squares and topped the cups which added a wapping .5 g net carb to each cup. Definitely keeping this recipe for the future. Thanks!

      Just made these for the first time today, my first ever fat bomb, I absolutely love the texture and taste of the coconut of the coconut but I find the stevia very overpowering. Next time I think half a tsp if not less will be enough for me.

      these are great! I'm using these to get up my fat content, but I'm starting to get a bit sick of the coconut flavour. I've tried the other bombs you suggest, but they're all more like butter and melt etc, so harder to take to work. these set properly. As the coconut butter is the difference here i wonder if theres something else i could swap out that's not quite so coconutty... any ideas? i'm guessing cocoa butter (not that i know where to buy it) wouldn't set?

        How about some of my cream cheese truffles instead? Freeze them and they will travel better to work. I love the mocha ice bombs or the mint truffles.

          I went with peppermint... 100g coconut butter, 55g coconut oil, 1 tbsp powdered natvia, 1tbsp peppermint extract. Still coconut, but minty too. Good for a change from the normal!

      I love this recipe! I toast the dessicated coconut (dry, nonstick pan, very very carefully!) and use creamed coconut (comes in a bag in a block-shape in the UK); it seems to be coconut butter without the expensive price tag, unsweetened too. Everyone should check out the Asian aisle of their supermarket to see if you can get cheaper coconut oil and creamed coconut.
      I also make a salted peanut version of this using a high-protein brand of peanut butter (instead of coconut butter) and chopped salted peanuts for the coconut which i sprinkle on top after pouring into the little cups. They come out a lot softer than the pure coconut ones but they are a tasty alternative to have in your fridge (they absolutely need to be in the fridge as I found to my dismay once 🙁 ) Love your recipes, Libby!

      Do you think the shredded coconut is necessary? Like coconut flavor, hate the texture or it.

        No you can easily omit it, it is in the recipe to add more coconut flavour, fibre and texture but I understand many just don't like coconut texture. You may need to add some coconut essence/flavour instead to bump up the taste. You can also look out for the fine shredded coconut, it may suit you better in recipes that require it.

      I don't get the measurements. Is it measured as weight or liquid? I did liquid and it only made 7 fat bombs. Maybe weight I'd what I need and it will make more.

        Pretty much all of my measurements are by weight (unless stated) so it can be used by those who are used to metric or imperial (US). Cooking by weight is so more accurate than cups (and US, UK, AUS, NZ cups differ) and so many ingredients (such as coconut oil, butter, cream cheese) are difficult to measure by volume.

        Sure but it will be a totally different taste and texture. The coconut butter has a distinct coconut flavour and is more solid than butter.

        You can. Make. Your own coconut butter with unsweetened dessicated coconut, riser if. You have nutribullet, if you need. To just add a little coconut oil, to help blend it, whiz it up, then push down the coconut and whiz again, untill you have butter,, no nasties.
