Ingredient Breakdown

Let’s take a closer look at the clean, nourishing ingredients that go into these irresistible bites:

 Coconut Oil (1/4 cup)

This forms the base of your fat bomb and gives it a smooth, creamy texture. Use unrefined coconut oil for a subtle coconut flavor, or refined for a more neutral taste.

 Sweetener (2 tbsp)

Use erythritol for a keto-friendly version, or opt for coconut sugar if you’re not strict keto. Monk fruit sweetener also works beautifully here.

 Pure Vanilla Extract (1/4 tsp)

Adds warm, comforting flavor and brings the cookie dough taste to life.

 Finely Ground Almond Flour (1 cup)

This mimics the texture of raw cookie dough while keeping it gluten-free and low-carb. Make sure it’s finely ground for a smoother bite.

 Chocolate Chips (2–4 tbsp)

Choose sugar-free chocolate chips (like Lily’s or ChocZero) for keto compliance. Regular mini chips work for non-keto versions.

How to Make Cookie Dough Fat Bombs

Step-by-Step Instructions:

1. Mix Dry Ingredients
   In a medium bowl, combine almond flour, sweetener, and chocolate chips. Stir well to evenly distribute.

2. Add Wet Ingredients
   Add melted coconut oil and vanilla extract to the bowl. Stir until a dough forms. If the dough feels too dry, add a tiny splash of almond milk. If too wet, chill it briefly before shaping.

3. Shape into Balls
   Use your hands or a small cookie scoop to roll the dough into 1-inch balls.

4. Chill and Set
   Place fat bombs on a parchment-lined plate or container and refrigerate for about 20–30 minutes or until firm. You can also freeze them if you prefer a colder treat.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

 Can I use a different flour?

Yes! While almond flour gives the best flavor and texture, sunflower seed flour or finely ground coconut flour can work. Keep in mind that coconut flour is more absorbent, so you’ll need to reduce the quantity.

 Are these safe to eat raw?

Absolutely! There are no raw eggs or traditional flour, making them completely safe and meant to be eaten raw.

 Can I bake them?

Technically yes, but this recipe is designed to be enjoyed raw. Baking may dry them out and change the texture completely.

 How many net carbs are in each fat bomb?

Depending on the sweetener and chocolate chips used, each fat bomb contains 1–2 net carbs. Always calculate using your specific ingredients to be sure.

 Can I double or triple the recipe?

100%! These are perfect for batch prep. Just store extras in the freezer and take one out whenever your sweet tooth strikes.
