What Are Fat Bombs?

Fat Bombs: The Unsung Heroes of a Low-Carb Lifestyle If you're following a low-carb or ketogenic diet, you've probably heard the term *fat bomb* tossed around like a secret weapon. But what exactly are fat bombs—and why are they so beloved by keto enthusiasts? What Are Fat Bombs? Fat bombs are small, bite-sized snacks made primarily from healthy fats like butter, cream cheese, nut butters, and oils. They’re designed to deliver a concentrated dose of fat with minimal carbs and protein—making them ideal for those aiming to stay in ketosis.

Easy Banana Brownie Muffins

 


Easy Banana Brownie Muffins

Technically these are not keto, but they should be okay for celiacs and anyone else who wants to avoid grains.
  • 2 large ripe bananas (or 3 small)
  • 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter, or any nut butter)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • liquid stevia (vanilla flavor) to taste (I used about 2 teaspoons)
  • nuts and/or dark chocolate chips (optional)
Peel bananas and mash with a fork in a medium size mixing bowl. Add the nut butter and eggs, and beat until smooth. Add cocoa powder and beat until completely incorporated. Add enough stevia (or sweetener of choice) until the batter tastes sweet enough for you.

Divide batter evenly into muffin tins and bake at 350 F for 20 to 25 minutes. Makes 6 regular size muffins.

Mine came out just sweet enough to make the cocoa palatable. You can add more sweetener if you like. I don't care for super sweet snacks, as they just make me crave more sweets. They are perfect with a nice dollop of cream cheese! They are also great with a side of greek yogurt, for breakfast.

Nutritional information per muffin (not including optional ingredients): 19 grams fat, 21 grams carbohydrate, 8 grams dietary fiber, 7 grams sugar, 11 grams protein

As you can see they are not exactly low carb, but I can get away with eating one in the morning. It's a great way to get rid of over ripe bananas. We tend to have a few of them every now and then. As a diabetic I don't eat much fruit, and although other family members love bananas they don't like them when they start to get a lot of brown spots. So I toss them in the fridge and use them in a recipe as soon as possible.
