These easy keto fat bombs remind me so much of truffles ! They are rich and chocolaty, a little sweet and a little salty, with a crunch from chopped nuts.

Why You’ll Love These Keto Fat Bombs

• Sweet and salty chocolate flavor
• Smooth and creamy with crunchy nuts
• Just 6 ingredients (plus optional vanilla)
• No baking required
• Only 1g net carbs per serving
• Keto friendly and gluten-free
• Versatile and customizable

What Is A Fat Bomb?

A fat bomb is a small, high-fat, and low carb bite or snack that’s high in healthy fats and low in other macros (at least 85 percent fat). They can be either sweet or savory. Fat bombs are particularly popular with people following a keto diet , but anyone can enjoy them.

My go-to sweetener for making keto fat bombs is powdered Besti . It leaves a smooth texture, but more importantly, tastes just like sugar. Unlike erythritol, which is found in most sweeteners (even ones labeled monk fruit or stevia), this one has no cooling aftertaste and won’t crystallize when you store your fat bomb recipes.

Ingredients & Substitutions

Here I explain the best ingredients for keto-friendly chocolate fat bombs, what each one does in the recipe, and substitution options. For measurements, see the recipe card .

• Macadamia Nuts – These are the creamiest keto nut and offer rich monounsaturated fats. If unsalted, add sea salt for flavor, or try almonds or pecans for similar (but less creamy) results.
• Coconut Oil – Adds creaminess and healthy fats. You can also substitute grass-fed butter. Melt befoer adding to the keto fat bomb mixture.
• MCT Oil – This oil is great for keto for the same reasons as bulletproof coffee , but you can also swap this for more coconut oil if you like. Coconut oil will make firmer bites, so is a good option if you plan to take them on the go.
• Vanilla Extract – This is optional, but add it if you have it for the best flavor.
• Besti Powdered Monk Fruit Allulose Blend – This is the best sweetener to keep your snacks smooth, not gritty, with no cooling effect or aftertaste. For other sugar substitutes , you can also use plain powdered allulose or powdered erythritol, but don’t use granulated or liquid sweeteners. A granulated sweetener will be grainy, and a liquid one will make them too runny. Use this sweetener conversion chart if you need other options.
• Cocoa Powder – Make sure it’s unsweetened.

How To Make Keto Fat Bombs

This section shows how to make fat bombs, with step-by-step photos and details about the technique, to help you visualize it. For full instructions with amounts and temperatures, see the recipe card .

1. Pulse the nuts. Pulse the macadamia nuts in a food processor or high-power blender , starting and stopping, until mostly broken down into small pieces.
2. Add the MCT oil, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Continue to puree until nut butter forms.

1. Add the dry ingredients. Add the cocoa powder and sweetener gradually, a couple tablespoons at a time. Puree after each addition, until smooth.
2. Assemble. Line a mini muffin pan with parchment liners . Pour or spoon the batter evenly into each liner, filling to the top. Sprinkle crushed macadamia nuts over the cups.

1. Freeze. Place the keto fat bombs in the freezer, until solid.

Storage Instructions

• Store: Once set, you can keep your fat bombs in an airtight container in the fridge. Don’t leave them at room temperature.
• Freeze: To freeze keto fat bomb recipes, place the tray in the freezer until solid, then transfer them to a zip lock bag or freezer-safe container. This is the best way to store them for long-term freshness.

• Cookie Dough – Craving cookies? Satisfy your sweet tooth with keto cookie dough bites!
• Maple – Make my keto energy balls infused with maple flavor.

Tools To Make Keto Fat Bombs

• Food Processor – Essential for getting a smooth texture in your fat bomb recipes. You could also use a high-powered blender .
• Mini Muffin Pan – This muffin pan makes the perfect sized bites, so you don’t have to adjust your serving size.
• Parchment Paper Liners – Baked and frozen foods just slide right out of the liner! No more mess or leaving half of your treat stuck to the muffin cup.

The Basic Keto Meal Formula

Eating keto doesn’t have to be complicated! While there are plenty of delicious easy keto recipes to choose from, you don’t even have to cook from a recipe to get started.

Simply follow the keto cheat sheet formula of protein + veggie + fat for your meals.

Be sure to choose a moderate amount of protein, only low carb vegetables (mostly ones that grow above ground), and generous fat to attain an optimal macro ratio. That’s approximately 60-75% of calories from fat, 20-25% protein, and 5-10% from carbohydrates. The table below will give you ideas for what to choose.

Understanding Macros

Macros are macronutrients for short. They include fat, protein, and carbohydrates.

You can calculate your own macros using the macro calculator , but the macro keto cheat sheet below will explain how to look at macros when following a keto lifestyle.

Carbs Are A Limit.

Keeping carbs low is what gets you into ketosis and keeps you there. Ketosis means that you’re using fat as your primary energy source instead of sugar, and requires keeping carbs very low.

A good starting point is 20-25 grams net carbs per day, but you can experiment after a few weeks to see if your body stays in ketosis at higher levels. People who are very active may be able to do more and stay in ketosis, up to around 50 grams per day.

“Carbs are a limit” means that you set a limit for how many carbs to eat per day and don’t exceed it. You don’t have to hit that limit, so if you’re under that’s okay, just don’t go over. Ideally most of your carbs would come from low carb vegetables, and if you’re eating enough veggies, you’ll usually get close to the limit naturally.

A common misconception is that reaching ketosis requires a certain macro ratio, but it’s really only restricting your carb intake that gets you there [ * ]. In the absence of sufficient carbs to use as energy, the body will switch to using fat as fuel. This is called the metabolic state of ketosis.

Protein Is A Goal.

Protein is made up of amino acids, the building blocks of all our cells. It’s a crucial for keeping our muscles strong and for many cellular functions [ * ].

“Protein is a goal” means that you always want to eat enough protein to reach the goal each day, but not exceed it too much. You want enough for your needs, but excess protein can trigger gluconeogenesis, which is protein being converted to sugar [ * ] and can kick you out of ketosis.

Fat Is A Lever.

Fat is the primary macronutrient in a keto lifestyle, because being in ketosis means that fat is your primary fuel source. Fat as a fuel source will come from your food, and if you are losing weight, from your body.

A big advantage of a keto lifestyle is the high fat intake. It keeps you full and satisfied, making it easier to stick to, and using it as the primary fuel source makes it easier on your body to burn body fat, with a lower chance of breaking down your muscle (provided you get enough protein).

Aside from reaching your protein goal and limiting your carbs, the remainder of your calories on a keto diet comes from fat.

Don’t fear fat – it’s your main energy source on keto, and getting enough of it trains your body to use fat for fuel instead of sugar. That means that as long as you are not overdoing your overall calorie intake, you’ll efficiently burn your body fat for fuel as well.

“Fat is a lever” means that you can increase or decrease your fat intake depending on your goals and hunger levels. Increase it (along with exercise) to gain muscle, or decrease it to lose weight.

Keto Food Swaps

One of my favorite challenges is creating recipes, or just discovering, keto food swaps. These are delicious keto replacements for traditionally high-carb or high-sugar foods.

So, I created this keto diet cheat sheet with all the swaps in one place! I also have more keto food swaps in my Easy Keto Cookbook .

Keto Swaps For Breakfast

Keto Swaps For Bread

Keto Swaps For Meals & Side Dishes

Keto Swaps For Snacks & Sauces

Keto Swaps For Cooking & Baking

Keto Food List

When looking for a keto cheat sheet printable, the most-requested information is a keto food list.

The great thing is that keto doesn’t have to feel restrictive. It’s incredibly satisfying and there’s such a wide variety of foods you can eat!

Foods To Eat On Keto

• Leafy greens – Such as spinach, chard, and lettuce.
• Above-ground veggies – Such as peppers, zucchini, and cauliflower.
• Full-fat cream & cheese – Such as heavy cream, sour cream, and full-fat hard cheeses.
• Natural meats – Such as beef, lamb, and pork.
• Berries – Such as raspberries, blackberries, and strawberries.
• Avocados
• Unsweetened nut milks – Such as almond milk and coconut milk.
• Almond flour and coconut flour
• Eggs
• Healthy fats – Such as coconut oil, avocado oil, olive oil and butter.

Foods To Avoid On Keto

• White flour & sugar
• Rice & grains – Such as barley, wheat, and corn.
• Milk & yogurt – Such as fruit on the bottom yogurt, sweetened Greek yogurt, and all milk.
• Cereal
• Processed food – Such as granola bars, candy
• Most fruit – Such as apples, bananas, and grapes
• Hydrogenated fats – Such as vegetable oil, soybean oil, and margarine
• Sweetened beverages & condiments – Such as soda, ketchup, and sweet dressings
• Starchy veggies – Such as peas, carrots, and beets.
• Potatoes – Such as sweet potatoes and white potatoes.

That’s the short keto diet cheat sheet version of all the keto food categories, but I recommend downloading the full Keto Cheat Sheet System. It includes a super detailed printable keto food list with over 100 items, including 2 color-coded pages with net carb counts, along with 6 more pages of keto cheat sheets:

Electrolyte Basics

Getting enough electrolytes is crucial for anyone, but especially so on a keto diet. The reason is that ketosis has a diuretic effect, which increases excretion of water and electrolytes, especially sodium [ * ]. This is often the cause of the keto flu.

For more details on electrolytes and avoiding keto flu, check out the full keto flu guide here .

The important thing to know about electrolytes is that replenishing them will keep keto flu away and keep your body functioning well. I always recommend an electrolyte drink and whole food sources of anything your body needs before resorting to supplements, so I made a list of what to eat to get each of the 3 major electrolytes – sodium, magnesium and potassium.

Here’s your keto diet cheat sheet for getting electrolytes from food:

Keto Diet Types

People follow a keto lifestyle for different reasons. Some do it just to lose weight, others are after better overall health, increased energy, and reduced inflammation.

Strictly speaking, the defining factor of a keto diet is the metabolic state of ketosis, which is achieved by restricting carbs. However, many people (myself included) also reduce or eliminate processed, inflammatory, or low-nutrient foods.

Below is your keto cheat sheet summary of the different ways that people follow keto. You choose what works best for your goals and lifestyle!

• Strict Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, count all calories and macros, and eat clean, unprocessed foods.
• Lazy Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, and track only net carbs OR eat keto foods without tracking.
• Dirty Keto – Up to 20-30g net carbs daily, with “if it fits your macros” approach including processed foods.
• Low Carb – Up to 50-100g net carbs daily, less strict.

1. Pulse/puree macadamia nuts into a food processor or high power blender , until mostly broken down into small pieces.
2. Add MCT oil, melted coconut oil, and vanilla. Continue to puree until nut butter forms. (Try to get it smooth, but if you can’t get rid of some stray pieces, that’s okay!) Scrape down the sides as necessary.
3. Add the cocoa powder and sweetener gradually, a couple tablespoons at a time. Puree after each addition, until smooth.
4. Line a mini muffin pan with parchment liners . Pour or spoon the batter evenly into each liner, filling to the top.
5. Sprinkle crushed macadamia nuts on top of fat bombs.
6. Freeze for at least 30 minutes , until solid.
