Description
Rich and satisfying low-carb chocolate fat bombs made with peanut butter, perfect for a sweet yet healthy treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1/2 cup natural peanut butter (unsweetened, no added oils)
- 1/3 cup coconut oil (refined or unrefined)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (optional)
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2–4 tablespoons powdered keto sweetener (erythritol, allulose, or a blend; to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of sea salt
- Optional add-ins: sugar-free chocolate chips, chopped peanuts, unsweetened coconut flakes
- Optional coating: flaky sea salt, a dusting of cocoa powder
Instructions
- Set up your molds using a silicone mini-muffin tray or line a small loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Place the tray on a flat surface and have a small spoon or piping bag ready.
- In a small saucepan over low heat, add peanut butter, coconut oil, and unsalted butter (if using). Heat gently, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
- Watch the mixture; it will loosen and shine as it comes together.
- Whisk in cocoa powder, powdered sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of sea salt until glossy and lump-free.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or thickness if needed by adding more sweetener or coconut oil.
- Optionally, fold in extras like sugar-free chocolate chips or chopped peanuts.
- Pour the mixture into the molds, leaving a small gap at the top.
- Tap the tray lightly on the counter so the surface settles and bubbles escape.
- Refrigerate for 45-60 minutes or freeze for 20-30 minutes until firm.
- Pop them out and sprinkle with flaky sea salt if desired.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
