Ingredients
- 1/4 cup almond butter (unsweetened)
- 2 tbsp coconut oil
- 1 tbsp cocoa powder (unsweetened)
- 1 tbsp powdered erythritol
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- 1 tbsp chopped almonds (optional, for texture)
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Add the almond butter and coconut oil to a small saucepan. Place over low heat and stir gently until fully melted and smooth.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately whisk in the cocoa powder, powdered erythritol, vanilla extract, sea salt, and cinnamon (if using) until fully combined and the mixture is silky.
- Taste the mixture and adjust sweetness or salt if desired.
- Stir in the chopped almonds if using, for a crunchy texture.
- Prepare a silicone mold or mini muffin tin lined with paper liners.
- Pour the mixture evenly into two portions in the mold or liners, using a spoon or small measuring cup.
- Place the mold in the freezer and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the fat bombs are firm and solid.
- Once fully set, remove from the mold and store the fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer until ready to enjoy.

Storage
Store almond butter fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. For longer storage, place them in a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. To enjoy from the freezer, let them sit at room temperature for 5–10 minutes until slightly softened.
Reheating
Fat bombs are best enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. Reheating is not typically recommended, as they may melt due to the high fat content. If a softer texture is desired, allow them to sit out for a few minutes at room temperature rather than microwaving.
Modifications and Add-ins
To boost protein or fiber content while staying within paleo guidelines, consider adding a spoonful of collagen peptides or a sprinkle of ground flaxseed. Chopped walnuts or sunflower seeds can provide added crunch and micronutrients like magnesium and vitamin E. For enhanced flavor, unsweetened shredded coconut or a dash of nutmeg can be incorporated. These additions can enhance both nutrition and texture, making the fat bombs more satisfying without straying from paleo principles.
