I never liked the flavor of traditional peanut butter fat bombs, so I developed my own version that tastes much better. These bites don’t leave you feeling like you’ve swallowed a mouthful of coconut oil, and they’re very easy to prepare.
Fat bombs are a tasty way to boost healthy fats in your diet, particularly if you follow a ketogenic lifestyle. They’re handy for a quick energy boost or a satisfying, low-carb snack.
Keto-friendly Peanut Butter
For this recipe you’ll want a keto-friendly peanut butter. There’s one simple rule when choosing a jar:
Does it contain anything other than peanuts and salt?
If the answer is no, choose a 100% natural peanut butter. In Australia, many brands sold at Coles and Woolworths don’t include sugar — just check the ingredients list to be sure.
Keto Energy Balls Recipe
These keto energy balls are a satisfying treat that won’t turn into a greasy puddle if left out of the fridge briefly. To keep them stable and give them a pleasant texture, I coat the balls in desiccated coconut and add a little heavy cream to the mixture. The cream gives more body and tones down the intensely sticky peanut butter flavor.
If you love peanut butter, you might also enjoy my keto peanut butter cups recipe. Those are coated in chocolate with a salty peanut butter filling — a decadent keto-friendly treat.
You can substitute the heavy cream with cream cheese if you prefer. That variation produces rich, low-carb peanut butter balls with a cream cheese texture that many people enjoy.
I hope you enjoy this recipe. Until next time!
