Whether you want to add more coconut oil to your diet, or you are on a vegan keto diet, these Coconut Fat Bombs are for you!
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 diet, 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 in a round-up, or see all of them on my Vegan Keto category page.
These Coconut Fat Bombs are an excellent way to include more coconut oil 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.
If you are interested in more high-fat low-carb treats, try my 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.
Other Vegan Fat Bomb Recipes
Instructions
- Melt coconut butter (see below for the best way).
- Mix melted coconut butter, melted (or soft) coconut oil, finely shredded coconut, and stevia.
- Fill mini cupcake liners, an ice cube tray, or silicone molds with a tablespoonful of each of the mixture.
- Freeze for an hour. Store in the fridge.
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 in the fridge or freezer.
How Long Do They Last?
These vegan fat bombs will last about 1 week in the fridge, and several months in the freezer.

As soon as I saw the title "fat bomb" I thought "OMG A RECIPE FOR ME!" I love all things sweet and coconut; can't wait to try this out.
Willow Moon says
I hope you like them as much as I do!
Jessica says
Any idea about the macros of this?
Willow Moon says
I have 121 calories, 12 grams fat, 1 net carb, and 2 grams protein per approx. 1 tablespoon in my app where I log in all my carbs etc., but I also had another log entry before that had a little less calories and carbs because I made this different times with a different brand of coconut flakes. So it depends upon the coconut butter and coconut flakes you use. Hope that helps! At least you have an approximate number to start with.

Thanks Ashleigh!

My allergies went away in 2007 when I went off of gluten and sugar for an entire year! It's amazing how you can diet your way into health!
Willow Moon says
I totally agree! I think I am going to have to stay away from sugar and grains for a long time. The way I feel is worth more to me than satisfying a craving!
Kimberly @ Berly's Kitchen says
Coconut oil is one of my favorite oils to bake/cook with. I've never heard of this recipe, but it sounds delicious. 🙂 Will have to give it a try!
Alexa says
This recipe looks delicious! I have never made fat bombs before but I am always looking to add more fats into my life. I am gluten free and follow modified paleo to manage Crohn's disease. I haven't used stevia before but that has been on my list of things to experiment! Any advice for it?
Willow Moon says
Thanks Alexa! My advice with stevia is first, try a small package to see if you like it. Second, know that stevia can be bitter when you add to much, so start with just a little. I didn't used to like it, but it has grown on me since going low carb and cutting out sugar. My favorite sugar free sweetener is erythritol because to me it tastes more like sugar, but it does contain a small amount of carbs.

Kathy Brown says
I have to asmit I had no idea what a coconut fat bomb was. This was a really great post. Very informative and now I know.
Willow Moon says
I only just found out about them about a few months ago myself, when I started eating high fat low carb. They are a great snack to include more healthy fats into your diet!
Rox says
What is the fat content per bomb?
Willow Moon says
12 grams as per my notes in the comments above.
