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.

Mini Pizzas with Low Carbs


Based on the classic Keto "fathead" dough recipe. I topped them with
dried tomato pesto (with pistachios), instead of pizza sauce. It was so good!

Recipe:

2 cups shredded cheese such as mozzarella (I used mild provolone)
2 tbsp cream cheese (see my recipe for homemade cream cheese here)
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp Italian seasoning blend (optional)
1 cup almond flour
1 tsp xanthan gum
1 egg

Stir together dry ingredients and set aside.

Melt cheese & cream cheese in microwave in a glass bowl for 1 minute. Stir. Microwave again at 20 second intervals, stirring each time. When cheese is completely fused together and smooth, you are ready for the next step. Don't overcook it, or you will obtain a rubbery mess!

Stir the egg into the cheese mixture. You will need to stir quite a lot, before the egg is completely incorporated.

Stir in dry ingredients, until batter is smooth.

Divide into 6 pieces, shape into balls and flatten them on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Dough will be sticky. You can coat your hands with a little oil, to keep the dough from sticking to your hands.

Bake at 350 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes (or until they start to brown). Add low carb pizza sauce and top with your favorite toppings. No need for cheese, since it's already in the crust, but if you like you can give it a little dusting of cheese, to make it look more "authentic".
