The Best Peanut Butter Fat Bombs; Cold, Creamy, Peanut Buttery Goodness! 6 ingredients and less than 1 net carb each! Or use almond butter! !
These are The Best Peanut Butter Fat Bombs ever!
And these are the best Peanut Butter and Jelly Fat Bombs! And oh my, are they good! 🙂
I am not a big fat bomb eater but sometimes they are just the ticket.
I usually cook for the whole family and they are not all Keto. Most of the time it works fine to make a meat and vegetable we can all eat and I just add a side of carbs for them.
Sometimes I do need a bit more fat or something sweet sounds so good. These are the perfect thing to reach for at those times.
They are so creamy, cold and peanut buttery. Mmmm!
My favorite way to eat them it to just pop the whole thing in my mouth and let it dissolve slowly.
So many fat bombs are coconut oil (affiliate link) based and so, well coco-nutty. Even though I do like coconut, I just don’t like so much.
I wondered if I could replace half of the coconut with butter and wow, yes, I can! It could really all be replaced but I like the half and half.
Follow my Fat Bomb Pinterest Board for dozens of ideas from all around the web! I am constantly finding new things to add so there will be new things all the time!
The Peanut Butter:
I did not label these as “Keto” fat bombs because, technically, peanuts are legumes and therefore not strict Keto. SO! If you are strict Keto, you will want to replace the peanut butter with almond butter or even sunflower butter.
If you are dirty Keto, low carb or know that peanuts do not bother you (sometimes legumes are inflammatory), then by all means, use the peanut butter.
This is the lowest carb brand I have found and it is very good too. It is $3 a jar at my Walmart and a 16 oz jar will make 1 1/2 batches of this recipe.
**Please note that on 9/19/20 I changed the post to Crazy Richards brand from Walmart brand because it was brought to my attention that Walmart change their label. It had said it was 4 carbs and 3 fiber so 1 net carb per serving and therefore the lowest peanut butter out there but when the label changed it now says it is 7 carbs and 3 fiber so 4 net carbs per serving! OH, that is not nice! I had to redo the macros based on the new best peanut butter.
I found Crazy Richards and also one called Santa Cruz at Walmart; both have 5 carbs, 3 fiber and 2 net carbs per serving so using that, it isn’t TOO bad spread over 24 fat bombs. It sure isn’t nice when a company does that though! You may see a Pinterest pin running around out there that says this recipe is 1/3 net carb per fat bomb at that is based on that peanut butter label. I am very sorry but I can’t pull those back. I have changed it all at this point forward.
Even with all of that, the fat bombs we thought were .33 carb are now .83 carb–not TOO bad of an increase but one we need to be aware of.
Thank you to reader Lia for her sharp eyes and for pointing that out!
A few notes:
The Sweetener:
I like Erythritol. It does not have the cooling effect (to me, anyway) and I think it tastes good.
Use whatever sweetener you like but any changes made will change the total carb, fat, etc count.
The Butter:
You could use salted butter if that is what you have. Reduce or omit the sea salt (affiliate link) in the recipe.

Print the recipe just a little farther down.
Ingredients:
Crazy Richards peanut butter
coconut oil (affiliate link)
unsalted butter
Erythritol or your choice of sweetener
vanilla (affiliate link) extract
sea salt (affiliate link)
Directions:
Melt peanut butter, coconut oil and butter in microwave 30 seconds at a time, stirring after each until smooth and blended.
You could also melt in a double broiler on the stove.
Add sweetener, vanilla (affiliate link) and salt and blend well again.
Pour into mini muffin tin or molds of your choice.
Freeze for 30 minutes or completely hardened.
They easily pop out with a sharp knife gently pressed between the bomb and the edge.
They need to be kept cold so keep in refrigerator or freezer.
Makes 24 fat bombs
Note; Nutritionix doesn’t deduct the Erythritol from the carbs so net carbs would be .83 gram for each fat bomb.
Based on a yield of 2 cups divided equally among 24 fat bombs, and using the exact ingredients I used, each contains 135 calories, 14g fat, 2.6g protein, 5.83g carbs, 4g carbs from Erythritol, 1g fiber, = .83 g NET CARBS each bomb

Don’t inadvertently use salted butter. Way too salty. My Bad. My first batch was delicious.

I have recently found out that great values "1 net carb stir peanut butter" is a misprint. They have a new jar now of the exact same showing 3 net carbs per 2 tablespoons. So wrong that they get away with this stuff!

Thank you so much for pointing this out, Lia! It took me some time to find that PB in my Walmart again but I did and whoa--they were off by a lot! I wanted to see the whole label to recalculate and also find the next best brand(s) for the post so it took a little while to do so but now the post is all redone to reflect that. I really appreciate you taking time to share that with me so I could fix that! I hadn't seen it until you told me. It took the fat bomb from .33 carb to .83 carb--not TOO bad but good to know for sure. Thank you again!

I love these! Since I’m a chocoholic I add Optimum Nutrition protein powder - 1/2 a cup with is 1 and 1/4 scoop. That add .16 of net carbs, 1.25 grams of protein, 6.25 calories per fat bomb!!

These are fantastic. I didn’t have any stevia or any other sweetener so tossed in some Lily’s dark chocolate chips right before pouring into cups. Yum!
