Keto Fat Bombs

A NO BAKE chocolate peppermint fat bomb bar!

Keto fat bombs are a quick and easy way to increase your fat content for the day. A keto diet is based on high fat (good fats), moderate protein and low carbs (usually under 20g a day).  It can be difficult to balance a higher fat %. A lot of keto foods that are high in fat can also be higher in protein so keeping that lower than the fat can be a challenge. Some people feel like they "need" to up their fat for the day, which is where keto fat bombs come into play.

I have seen a gazillion types of fat bombs, usually made with ingredients that have to be kept chilled or they get really soft and sometimes even melt. I wanted to create a fat bomb that would hold up a bit better so it could be packed to travel. Since there are no grains allowed on keto, oats are out. Instead, I used coconut and fatty macadamia nuts. The mint flavor is optional, I was in the mood and since it is fall here now it reminds me of the holidays.

Making our Keto Fat Bomb Chocolate Peppermint Bars

The quick version (full recipe and instructions below)

  • Combine the bar ingredients, press into a lined 8x8 pan. Press firmly and then place in freezer.
  • Melt sugar free chocolate chips with coconut oil or butter until smooth. Add the extracts.
  • Pour melted chocolate over the top of the bars.  Refreeze until set.
    Cut into 9 or 18 bars. Enjoy!
