Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 bombs
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup pecans, chopped
- 1/4 cup almond butter
- 1/4 cup sweetener of choice
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Instructions
- Prepare your workspace by lining a mini muffin tin with silicone or paper liners to prevent sticking.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the coconut oil in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval until completely liquid and smooth.
- Add unsweetened cocoa powder to the melted coconut oil and whisk thoroughly to create a uniform chocolate base, ensuring no lumps remain.
- Incorporate the almond butter, sweetener, and vanilla extract into the chocolate mixture, stirring until all ingredients are well combined and create a glossy, smooth texture.
- Roughly chop the pecans into small, bite-sized pieces, reserving a few for topping if desired.
- Fold the chopped pecans into the chocolate mixture, distributing them evenly throughout the liquid.
- Carefully pour or spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin tin, filling each cavity approximately 3/4 full.
- Sprinkle additional chopped pecans on top of each fat bomb for extra crunch and visual appeal, if desired.
- Place the filled muffin tin in the refrigerator and chill for 1-2 hours until the fat bombs are completely set and firm.
- Once solidified, remove the fat bombs from the tin and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Tips
- Use high-quality coconut oil for the smoothest texture and best flavor.
- Ensure all ingredients are at room temperature to prevent clumping.
- For extra richness, use a monk fruit or erythritol-based sweetener that blends seamlessly.
- Don't overmix the batter - gently fold ingredients to maintain a silky consistency.
- For uniform sizing, use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to portion the mixture.
- Allow sufficient chilling time to ensure a firm, satisfying texture.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
- Experiment with different nut toppings like almonds or walnuts for variety.
