In addition to tasting fantastic, they are filled with powerful ingredients that can help you slim down and increase your overall wellness.

Coconut oil is high lauric acid which does some amazing things for the body. It's important to choose a high quality coconut oil to get the maximum benefits from this superfood. 

Pecans and Cashews (cashew butter) introduce a powerhouse of vitamins, minerals, fiber, oleic acid and antioxidants. All which may reduce the risk of heart disease.

Use high quality, fresh pecans and choose a cashew butter that has no added sugars.

Tips For Amazing Fat Bombs

Choose Quality Ingredients

We make and eat fat bombs on a keto diet to increase our fat percentage. It can be quite a challenge to get up to 80% fat, especially during the first phase. These fat bombs are mostly made of fat, so it follows that choosing a high-quality base is important to get something that tastes good. Choose your ingredients wisely. For your convenience, there's a list of recommended ingredients towards the end of this post.

Heat Gently

When making fat bombs, heat your ingredients just enough to get the coconut oil to liquefy. Turn off your heat at this point and mix in the remaining ingredients.

Storage: Tight & Cool

Store your fat bombs in a tightly sealed container in a cool location. During the winter, fat bombs often sit out on our counter because we keep our home at a cool 66 degrees which is well below the melting temperature of Coconut Oil. However, in the warmer months we store these in the refrigerator. Keep them cool and in a tightly sealed container for optimum freshness and enjoyment

How To Choose Fat Bomb Molds

Choosing molds for your fat bombs is really fun. Look for silicone candy or chocolate molds that are approved to be used with heated material.

Think about the size of fat bomb you would like to end up with and purchase molds in that size. Some people like their fat bombs thinner, fatter, taller, wider. ? There's so many different shapes and sizes to choose from!

Avoid ice molds because they are generally made with plastics that are unsafe to heat.

If you don’t have silicone candy molds, and don't want to buy anything look around your kitchen for things you can use.

Mini cupcake pans are a popular mold for people just starting out. These can be a little challenging to remove fat bombs from, especially in the colder months. To remove, let the fat bombs sit for 10-15 minutes at room temp before you attempt to take them out of the stiffer molds.

Look at all these fun molds!

Maple Pecan Fat Bomb Recipe (0 Net Carb)

These simple Maple Pecan Fat Bombs can be made with or without the pecans. If you don't have pecans, but do have another nut--I don't see why you couldn't use those. I just love the crunch and texture that chopped nuts add to this fat bomb recipe. These are so good you just might mistake them for candy 😉

• 2 Tbsp Cashew Butter (32g)
• 1 Tsp Maple Extract

• 20 Drops Liquid Stevia

• Combine the coconut oil, cashew butter, maple extract, vanilla and stevia and heat on low temperature until melted. Whisk to combine.
• Pour 1 Tablespoon of the fat bomb mixture into each mold. (You can use mini cupcake pans if you do not have a mold for this fat bomb recipe) Carefully put nuts into each mold--pressing them down with a spoon (or your fingers) as needed.
• Place your tray of fat bombs carefully in your freezer for 20 minutes or until set. Note: If you use a silicone mold, put a cookie sheet underneath them to make moving them easier. Then, remove from freezer and let sit for 5 minutes to make removing the fat bombs from the molds easier.

Notes

Note: You may need to adjust how much of the fat bomb recipe liquid you put into your molds--depending on size. If you're using mini-cupcake pans, then you'll be fine as recommended!
