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.

Recipe for Keto Cowboy Cookies - with a twist


Keto Cowboy Cookies


Preheat oven to 350 F
  • 1 1/2 cups almond flour
  • 1/4 cup coconut flour (original recipe called for shredded coconut, which I don't normally buy)
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup sugar free chocolate chips (I can't find sugar free chocolate chips where I live, so I chop up keto chocolate bars)
  • 4 tablespoons mixed seeds (I used a blend of seeds that I keep on hand: chia, hemp & others)
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 1/4 cup granulated erythritol
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup sugar-free syrup

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, unsweetened shredded coconut, chopped pecans or walnuts, dark chocolate chips, chia seeds, baking soda, and salt. Mix well to evenly distribute the ingredients.

In another bowl, beat together the softened unsalted butter and granulated erythritol (or your chosen keto-friendly sweetener) until it becomes creamy.

Add the egg and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and beat until well combined.

Gradually add the sugar-free maple syrup or sugar-free honey substitute while continuing to mix.

Combine the wet and dry ingredients, stirring until a cookie dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, you can refrigerate it for about 15 minutes to make it easier to handle.

Drop by tablespoon onto a parchment lined baking sheet. I got about 1 dozen cookies.

Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown around the edges.

Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
