Keto is a popular diet consisting of very minimal carbs and high-fat amounts. It’s similar to the Atkins diet in which you eat almost no carbs, but your fat consumption is significantly increased.
Many people have found success with a keto diet, but one common issue is struggling with the amount of fat they need to intake. That’s where fat bombs come in.
Today we’re looking at 23 recipes for you to follow when making your very own fat bombs at home.
These are all delicious and will help you increase your fat consumption instantly – just don’t eat them all at once!
Let’s jump right in!
1. 3-Ingredient Cheesecake Keto Fat Bombs
This recipe could not be easier to make – all you need is three ingredients and about 5 minutes of your time.
They’re no-bake – just mix, roll, and enjoy. What sounds better than mini balls of cheesecake made within a few minutes?
Gone are the days of having to wait for it to bake or set! These cheesecake fat bombs taste just like the creamy top layer of a cheesecake, with the peanut butter giving it a slightly sweeter taste.
Swerve, one of Keto’s favorite sweeteners, is also used to add even more sweetness. You can even add crushed dark chocolate chips if you’re a chocolate lover, too.
2. Keto Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
Name a better duo than chocolate and peanut butter… we’ll wait…
Not only do the two flavors balance each other out well, but they also help curb any sweet cravings that might affect your diet.
If you’re a fan of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, are you in for a treat with this one?!
The recipe only calls for five ingredients, including cocoa powder, peanut butter, and coconut oil.
All of these ingredients need to be sugar-free, but you can use a keto-friendly sweetener to add the sweetness back in a keto-friendly way.
3. Keto Breakfast Fat Bombs Recipe
We’re no strangers to fat bombs, but when we saw this recipe, even we were shocked. Breakfast fat bombs? Sign us up!
Keto bombs are usually all about curbing sweet cravings, so they’ll be made of sweeter ingredients.
But these bombs are different – made with cream cheese, onion, eggs, and bacon, your breakfasts have just become much more interesting.
These balls are frozen to set before being wrapped in crumbled bacon. They can remain in the fridge for up to 4 days, so they’re ideal for busy mornings!
Not to mention you’ll get a lot of your fat intake at the start of the day so you don’t have to worry about it later on.
4. Keto Coconut-Choc Fat Bombs
Coconut goes just as well with chocolate as peanut butter, and it’s one of the Keto diet’s best friends. Almost every single keto recipe will try and sneak some coconut in there… Trust us!
These fat bombs take slightly longer to make, with a set time of two hours. But if no one’s watching, do you really need to stick to this?
With just five ingredients you can make delicious snowball-inspired fat bombs to curb any sweet cravings. You can also use them when you’re in need of a pick-me-up.
The desiccated coconut gives them a satisfying crunch with every bite.
5. 2 Minute Keto Fat Bombs
This is a really great recipe for anyone who doesn’t have much time to prepare meals.
Whether you’re a busy professional, have kids running around you 24/7, or just don’t enjoy cooking, these are the fat bombs for you.
They’re made from pecans and almonds, as well as almond butter and chia seeds. This gives them a nutty taste that is both refreshing and filling.
The best thing about this recipe is that it implores you to customize your fat bombs however you want with toppings.
This recipe works best if you have a food processor to blend the nuts. If you don’t have one of these, you can still finely chop them and use them within the recipe.
6. Keto Fat Bombs (4 Ways)
Here you’ve got four recipes in one! No matter what you’re in the mood for, you can choose between chocolate peanut butter, cookie dough, strawberry cheesecake, or lemon fat bombs. Yum!
Three of the recipes use cream cheese as the binder while the other uses coconut oil. Which recipe you decide to use will depend on your personal preference, current cravings, and ingredients within your pantry.
One thing is for certain – whichever you choose to make, you’re going to have an amazing burst of flavor with every bite.
7. Keto Peanut Butter Fat Bombs
We mentioned earlier about lovers of Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups – but these keto bombs even look exactly like the fan-favorite chocolate.
They’re made with only six ingredients and are made up of a thick peanut butter layer, topped with a chocolate ganache.
You’ll need some cupcake cases to make these, as the unset liquid will be too watery to roll into a ball.
They take 1 hour and 40 minutes total to make, and your yield will be six fat bombs. Since half of one is a serving, though, you’ll make 12 servings.
8. Keto Cheesecake Fat Bombs
Sometimes you’re just not in the mood for chocolate. Don’t get us wrong, most days we’d love to eat an entire bar in one sitting in front of the television. But there are a select few where chocolate doesn’t really appeal to us.
If you’ve had enough of chocolate fat bombs, then these vanilla cheesecake alternatives are the answer. They’re reminiscent of New York cheesecake and only use four ingredients.
However, you could also add in extras like cookie crumbs or toasted nuts to act as the cheesecake base!
These would make the bombs even more like cheesecake bites – after all, the crumb base is the best bit.

These fat bombs are perfect spheres that can be taken on the go as daytime snacks. Despite being small, they’re mighty in how filling they can be.
Again, peanut butter and chocolate are two complementary flavors, so who wouldn’t enjoy a fat bomb made from both?

However, if you’re willing to push the boat out, then these could be a lovely treat for you to make yourself and friends.
