Yields: Approximately 12-16 fat bombs (depending on liner size) Prep time: 5 minutes Chill time: 30-60 minutes
Ingredients:
- ½ cup unsweetened, natural almond butter (no sugar added, stir well if separated)
- ¼ cup (½ stick) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 tablespoon sugar-free, zero-carb maple syrup (e.g., ChocZero, Lakanto, or other keto-friendly brand)
Equipment:
- Microwave-safe bowl
- Whisk
- Mini muffin tin or a small tray
- Mini paper liners or silicone baking cups
Instructions:
- Melt Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter, butter, and coconut oil.
- Microwave on high for approximately 2 minutes, stirring every 30 seconds, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted together.
- Add Maple Syrup: Remove the bowl from the microwave. Add the sugar-free, zero-carb maple syrup.
- Whisk vigorously until the maple syrup is thoroughly combined into the melted mixture and it’s smooth.
- Pour & Chill: Carefully pour the mixture into bite-sized paper liners set inside a mini muffin tin or placed on a small tray.
- Refrigerate or freeze the fat bombs until they are completely hardened. Freezing typically takes 30-60 minutes, while refrigeration might take longer.
- Store & Enjoy! Once firm, pop the fat bombs out of their molds or liners.
- You may store these at room temperature for a softer consistency (if your room temperature is cool), or in the refrigerator for a more solid texture. For optimal firmness and to prevent melting in warmer climates, storing them in the freezer is recommended.
Tips for Success:
- Sweetener Level: The amount of maple syrup can be adjusted to your taste. If you prefer them sweeter, you can add a small amount of powdered keto sweetener along with the maple syrup.
- Almond Butter Quality: Use natural, unsweetened almond butter where the only ingredients are almonds (and possibly salt). Avoid brands with added sugars or unhealthy oils. Stir well before measuring if the oil has separated.
- Zero-Carb Maple Syrup: This is crucial. Read labels carefully, as many “sugar-free” syrups still contain high-carb sweeteners or sugar alcohols that can affect blood sugar.
- Consistency: The consistency will vary depending on how warm they are. Freezing makes them firm and less messy, especially in warmer environments like Puerto Vallarta.
- Serving Suggestions: These are fantastic on their own for a quick snack or dessert.
- Storage: Due to the coconut oil, these will melt at warmer temperatures. Keeping them in the freezer is the best way to maintain their shape and extend shelf life.
