Here’s a detailed recipe for peanut butter cup fat bombs, which are a delicious keto-friendly treat:
Ingredients:
- 1 cup natural peanut butter (creamy)
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup powdered erythritol or sweetener of your choice (adjust to taste)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Peanut Butter Mixture:
- In a microwave-safe bowl or on the stove over low heat, melt together the peanut butter and coconut oil until smooth and well combined. Stir frequently to prevent burning.
- Once melted and smooth, remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Taste and adjust sweetness by adding powdered erythritol/sweetener as needed. Mix until fully combined.
- Form the Fat Bombs:
- Prepare a mini muffin tin with paper liners or silicone molds. Spoon a tablespoon of the peanut butter mixture into each mold, filling them about halfway.
- Make the Chocolate Coating:
- In a separate bowl, mix the cocoa powder with melted coconut oil and sweetener (if desired) to create a smooth chocolate mixture. Adjust sweetness to taste.
- Assemble the Fat Bombs:
- Pour a small amount of the chocolate mixture over the peanut butter mixture in each mold, covering it completely.
- Optional: Sprinkle a pinch of salt on top for a salty-sweet flavor contrast.
- Chill and Serve:
- Place the muffin tin or molds in the refrigerator for at least 1-2 hours, or until the fat bombs are firm.
- Once set, remove from molds and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These fat bombs can be stored for up to a week.
Additional Tips:
- You can experiment with different nut butters like almond or cashew butter for variety.
- For a smoother chocolate coating, you can add a tablespoon of heavy cream to the chocolate mixture before pouring it over the peanut butter layer.
- If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can use a combination of powdered erythritol and stevia or monk fruit sweetener.
