Ingredients
• 1 1/2 cups / 120g (4.2 oz) unsweetened flaked coconut
• 1 cup / 240ml coconut oil, softened or melted
• 2 tbsp / 24g (0.85 oz) powdered Erythritol, or to taste
• 1 tsp / 5g (0.18 oz) ground cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/8 tsp (40 ml) salt
Instructions
1. Preparation
2. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
3. Spread the unsweetened flaked coconut in a single, even layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 8 minutes, watching closely until it’s fragrant and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow it to cool for a few minutes.
4. Transfer the toasted coconut to a high-speed blender or food processor. Blend until it breaks down into a smooth, runny coconut butter consistency. You may need to scrape down the sides a few times.
5. Add the softened coconut oil, powdered Erythritol, ground cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt to the blender. Blend again until the mixture is completely smooth and well combined.
6. Carefully pour or spoon the mixture into a 12-cavity silicone mold or a standard ice cube tray. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours, or until the fat bombs are completely firm.
7. Once firm, pop the fat bombs out of the mold. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their shape.

Pro Tips
• For a bit of texture, reserve a tablespoon of the toasted coconut and stir it into the blended mixture before pouring it into the molds.
• Silicone molds work best for easy removal. If using a plastic ice cube tray, let it sit at room temperature for a minute before trying to pop the fat bombs out.
• Ensure your Erythritol is powdered. Granulated sweeteners can result in a gritty texture. If you only have granulated, blitz it in a clean coffee grinder first.
• Add a tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder for a chocolate-coconut version or a scoop of your favorite keto-friendly protein powder for an extra protein boost.
FAQ
Q: How should I store these coconut fat bombs
A: Store your fat bombs in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are made with coconut oil which melts at room temperature, so keeping them chilled is essential to maintain their firm, melt-in-your-mouth texture.
Q: Can I use a different sweetener instead of Erythritol
A: Yes, you can substitute Erythritol with other powdered keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit or allulose. Adjust the amount to your personal taste, as sweetness levels can vary. Always use a powdered version to avoid a gritty texture in your fat bombs.
Q: Why is my fat bomb mixture gritty
A: A gritty texture is typically caused by using a granulated sweetener. This recipe calls for powdered Erythritol to ensure a smooth consistency. If you only have granulated sweetener, you can blitz it in a coffee grinder or high-speed blender to create a fine powder before mixing it in.
Q: Do I have to toast the coconut
A: While you can make these with raw coconut, toasting it is highly recommended. Toasting brings out a deep, nutty, and more complex flavor that makes these fat bombs exceptionally delicious. It only takes a few minutes and significantly enhances the final taste.
Pro Tips
- Toast the flaked coconut at 350°F / 175°C for about 8 minutes and watch it closely – it goes from golden to burnt fast, and you want it fragrant and golden brown.
- Blend the toasted coconut until it breaks down into a smooth, runny coconut butter consistency, scraping down the sides of the blender several times along the way.
- Use powdered erythritol rather than granulated – granulated sweetener leaves the fat bombs gritty, so blitz it in a clean coffee grinder first if that's what you have.
- Reserve a tablespoon of the toasted coconut and stir it back into the blended mixture before pouring, for little chewy flecks in every bite.
- Pour into a 12-cavity silicone mold (or an ice cube tray – let it sit at room temperature a minute before popping them out), chill 2-3 hours, and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their shape.
