I made these vegan Coconut Fat Bombs because one, I am trying to get more coconut oil into my diet and two, I am currently on a low carb high-fat vegan eating plan, otherwise known as a vegan ketogenic diet.
By eliminating grain from my diet, I have had no allergy symptoms this past Fall. Seasonal allergies are something that I have dealt with for the past seventeen years, since moving to Arizona.
I will eventually add grain products back into my diet, but for now, I am feeling great and burning fat.
You can see a bunch of my keto vegan recipes on my Vegan Keto category page.
These Coconut Fat Bombs are a great way to include more healthy fats into your diet. Before these vegan keto fat bombs, I added coconut oil to smoothies and vegan Bulletproof Coffee, and cooked with it.
I would also eat a spoonful straight from the jar. I probably don't have to tell you that these taste much better than gulping down coconut oil straight!
Coconut butter and coconut flakes add a wonderful crunchy texture to these dairy-free fat bombs. I have made fat bombs without both, and even though they were good, they didn't have the crunchy mouth-feel that I was looking for.
These keto fat bombs will help you meet your daily fat intake while eating low-carb and sugar-free.
If you are interested in more high-fat low-carb treats, try my Sugar Free Mounds Bars, Vegan Keto Eggnog Fat Bombs, Chocolate Low Carb Vegan Fudge, or my Low Carb Vegan Almond Cookies. They both are indulgent and not overly sweet, so they make a perfect snack.

🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Melt coconut butter by placing the jar in a saucepan filled with water over low heat.
Step 2: Add melted coconut butter, melted (or soft) coconut oil, finely shredded coconut, and stevia to a medium bowl. Whisk until all the lumps are gone.
Step 3: Fill mini cupcake liners, an ice cube tray, or silicone molds with a tablespoonful each of the mixture.
Step 4: Freeze for an hour. Store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer.
How to Melt Coconut Butter
- Melt coconut butter by placing the jar in a saucepan filled with water over medium heat. Occasionally pull the jar out with oven mitts and stir it. If it's hard to stir, stick it back in the simmering water until it's ready.
- Do NOT put the coconut butter in the microwave. It will cook unevenly and burn.
- When it's easy to stir, spoon it into a measuring cup to measure out the amount you need.
💭 Tips
- The coconut oil CAN be heated in the microwave if it's solid, but the coconut butter will cook unevenly and burn.
- Freeze the fat bombs and store them in the fridge or freezer.

*Note: Nutrition information should be considered an estimate only. Different nutrition calculators give you different results. I calculated the nutrition information long before installing a nutrition calculator. If you see my results in the comments below you will see the differences.
Audrey says
I’m on keto and would like to know how many carbs for each. Is it 1 because that’s what it says because on keto we subtract the fibre from the carbs. I’m confused.
Willow Moon says
Yes, it's 1 gram carbs for each fat bomb. There's 0 grams of fiber, so you don't need to subtract anything. Also you may want to do your own calculations since the calculations are done with a nutrition calculator, products may vary, and a keto diet is pretty strict with calculations. As stated below the calculator "Nutrition information should be considered an estimate only."

Can I substitute ghee for coconut butter??
Willow Moon says
Since I'm vegan I haven't worked with ghee, but I would think it would work.
