Two ingredients is all it takes to make these creamy, indulgent Keto Fat Bombs! Not only is the ingredient list extremely short, but so is the method of preparation. When all you need to do is heat and combine two ingredients, and then wait a couple hours for them to set, what’s stopping you from making them right now?! Watch me walk you through the process with ease below!
Mini High Fat Keto Snacks!
If you aren’t aware, Matthew and I are extremely loyal to Cookies and Cream Isopure Protein Powder, and we use it in many of our recipes, such as our Macro Cakes! What makes this our favorite fat bomb recipe is not only the use of this flavor, but also the creaminess it gives to the fat bombs. With the second ingredient being coconut oil, the fat content is through the roof making these the perfect mini, high fat keto snack! You can even take it to the next level by adding buttery and fatty macadamia nuts, like we did!
Easy Fat Bomb Recipes
If you’re looking to up your fat intake and also enjoy a nice keto-friendly treat, fat bombs should be your choice of pleasure. And, this keto fat bomb recipe is the easiest one you’re going to find! However, if protein powder doesn’t sit well with you we have a couple of other easy fat bomb recipes you can try out, such as our Coconut Fat Bombs and Chocolate Peanut Butter Fat Bombs! If those don’t do the trick, nothing will.
Keto Fat Bombs
When making these fat bombs, it is important to keep in mind that whatever protein powder you use will dictate the flavor. If you use unflavored protein powder they will lack all sweetness so you may want to use 5-10 drops of liquid stevia to sweeten them up a bit! If cookies and cream isn’t your jam, we’ve also tried Isopure Colombian coffee, strawberry and toasted coconut, and all of those flavors would definitely taste incredible in these keto fat bombs!
Macadamia nuts are an optional third ingredient, however, nutrition does include the use of them. If you leave the macadamia nuts out of the fat bombs the nutrition will be lower in macros.

Keto Fat Bombs | Cookies and Cream!
Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- 2 scoops (60g) Protein Powder
- 1/4 cup macadamia nuts
- Fat Bomb Mold
Instructions:
- Heat a saucepan to low heat.
- Add the coconut oil and protein powder. Using a spatula stir the ingredients together until you get a smooth white consistency. The mixture will come together in under a minute.
- Pour into a silicone mold equally to make ten fat bombs. We poured about 80% of the way up for each fat bomb.
- Roughly chop the macadamia nuts and distribute over the 10 fat bombs evenly. Note: Any nut will work!
- Optional: sprinkle the fat bombs with a little sea salt to amp up the flavor!
- Put the fat bombs in the freezer and allow to set for at least 2 hours.
- These can be stored in a ziplock bag in the freezer up to 2 months.
HOW MUCH IS IN THE SCOOP?
Could you please let us know how much are those scoops. I have some protein powder on hand I’d like to try this with but I lost the scoop and don’t even know if it would be the same amount.
28 grams
Where can I find the large square fat bomb molds? Thank you for all your videos. I cannot wait to make these!
Just search on Amazon for “mini brownie molds” and it should show the silicone mold we use
Why does it say 60 grams on recipe
It says 2 scoops, just rounded up a little
I want to know what protein powder did you use?
Hi guys!! Wondering how to measure out my protein powder it has a different size scooper than yours. 🙂
Each scoop should be 28g!
Hi! I just wanted to comment (because you said leave a comment about your cat! 😉 anyway, I recently discovered you both and I follow your page on Facebook, I’m in your Keto Connect group & also subscribe to your YouTube channel! So I guess I’m kind of stalking you all? nah, anyway – I LOVE CATS! so I love your videos even more when your kitty is in the video! I’ve been doing the keto thing for a little over 2 weeks now & loving it! It’s really the ONLY way I can lose weight – plus I’m over 50 🙁 (about to be 56 in a couple of months) and I’m disabled from a terrible chronic pain disease called CRPS (aka RSD). So I’ve had a terrible time getting this extra weight off since I became ill in 2013 and had to immediately “retire”. I want to thank you both for your awesome recipes! I’ve got that same protein powder and am going to make these fat bombs today! (even though I have 2 baggies of other fat bombs already in the freezer, can’t have enough, right?) Thank you both again & one question: is there a bio about you two? were you overweight before creating this lovely page? just curious (or nosy as my grown kids would say) Have an awesome day!
Hey Brenda! Welcome to the cat lovers club 🙂 Neither of us were overweight prior to starting keto, but at stages of our lives we both weighed about 30 lbs more than we do now. We hope you like the fat bombs. Let us know how they turn out!
I just made these and they turned out really grainy and dry. Any idea what could cause that? I used the iso pure cookies and cream.
You used the exact recipe? That’s odd. I think you could try adding a bit more coconut oil to make them less grainy.
I had the same experience, (very hard and sandy)followed the recipe to the “T”. I will try it again with more oil and maybe less powder. @Matt were your bars creamy or more like a packed protein bar?
Thanks!
They were pretty creamy but I definitely can understand some people stating theirs are “gritty”. Ours had some grittiness to them, but overall were very good and creamy. I think using more coconut oil would help with this issue.
I had the gritty/chewy experience last night too. I’m going to try and remelt them and adding more coconut oil.
Thanks for the tip!
The first time I made these they seemed gritty ( I used the chocolate protein powder). The second time I subbed 1/4 c cold coconut milk/cream for 1/4 c oil and it got Rid of the gritty ness. Did this mess up the nutrition?
Some protein powders can definitely be grainy. The nutrition probably changed, but you can just calculate it based on your ingredients!
Me too. So gritty that they’re basically inedible. Super disappointed.
I kept the pan on the heat and stirred for several minutes so the PP was completely dissolved. It looked grainy in the pan but the longer I kept on low heat and stirred the PP became smooth. Mine turned out perfect!
Same …
I’ve made these a few times now and I think the key to a smooth, non-grainy fat bomb is the temperature. When I add the protein powder while the burner is still on, something in the whey protein curdles or something and makes the texture grainy. If you melt the oil completely over very low heat, take it off the burner (or out of the microwave) and let it sit for about 30-60 seconds, *then* add the protein powder & mix well, they should solidify nice and creamy. Keeping them in the fridge v. the freezer also seems to improve texture in my experience.
Wow thank you so much for the tip, Charlotte! This will help so many people.
If the Coconut Oil is already liquid, why do you need to “melt” it over low heat?
It would only already be liquid if your house is above 76F =) In my house, coconut oil is very solid at room temp.
Thank you so much!! I have just made two batches: one is the cookies & creme and the other is birthday cake. They both came out very gritty even after adding more oil. I will try this way tomorrow!!
Thanks so much! Just beginning and tips like this make a difference in sticking with it.
this happened to me when i didnt cook it on a low setting. i cooked it high and fat bombs cooked and became grainy.
So did mine.
Hi. I do it think the ingredients are correct. Mine were dry and grainy too and I followed the ingredients very carefully! Disappointed. Used 60g protein powder and 1/2 cup coconut oil!!!
I made them for the first time last night & mine did too! And also they became gummy when I ate them and stuck to my teeth? ha ha…maybe I should try more oil
I decided to whip up a small batch of these using the chocolate isopure. They are really tasty but…. they came out sandy/gritty. How were yours?
Made two batches, both inedible.. the coconut oil soaked up the PP immeadiately. I added the cookie dough-texture mixture to a blender w water & coconut milk from a can and THEY ARE WHAT DREAMS ARE MADE OF.
Hi I made the bombs and I totally failed how much water and coconut milk did you blend into it, I would like to try your method please thank you Diana from Puerto Rico
Very good with Veggie Elite chocolate mocha powder, a pinch of salt and crushed nuts. I used 1.5 scoops of the powder vs 2.
Hello, these look absolutely delicious! Is the sucralose okay in the protein powder though? I am still fairly New?
We don’t see an issue with it as we don’t use it in excess or even everyday!
As i replied to Candace above, mine are very gritty. The powder did not dissolve properly. I have to remelt. But what should i add so it dissolves and becomes creamy?
I’m not sure if there is anything you can add to make it dissolve better. How long/high did you heat it at? My only suggestion would be to use a higher ratio of coconut oil to protein if it is too gritty.
These are great. I made two batches, and the first was a little gritty but honestly it wasn’t bad. I made a second batch (to test) and used 1/3 cup coconut oil and it was not gritty at all. Thanks, Matt/Megha!
Yay! Thanks for sharing the update 🙂
Having the same issue as many others. Protein powder isn’t dissolving. I even doubled the coconut oil on the recipe and same problem. Powder didn’t dissolve and separated/settled during the freeze to the bottom of all the fat bombs.
If this could be solved, it would be a really awesome version of a fat bomb recipe. Might adding some water, or pre-mixing the powder in a bit of water help?
Lots of people seem to be having this problem. We’re going to work on seeing if we can improve this a bit. We’ll do some testing and report back. Sorry it didn’t turn out for you.
Maybe sifting the protein power first and then adding to coconut oil.
Hi M&M!
Have you tweaked this recipe yet?
Any update on this?
I made these for the first time and while stirring in the warm CC oil, I noticed the grainy texture of the protein in the pan. So I just kept on low heat and stirred until I saw that the mixture was smooth on the sides of the pan. I put them in the fridge and they are PERFECT….. Just need to make sure you allow the protein powder to completely dissolve.
Awesome! Thanks for letting us know!
Hi,
I used the Muscletech Premium Gold Whey Protein Powder Double Rich Chocolate Flavor and added about 1 teaspoon of unsweetened cocoa powder. Followed your directions, heat on low & stirring constantly with a spatula until all blended. They came our perfect! Thank you.
Glad they came out well for you!
I tried making these and I gagged from how grainy this was, even though I used HALF the amount of protein powder. Considering I don’t want to waste food, instead of using these for fat bombs, I just use the cubes for my butter coffee in the morning, so they’re still useful, just not…edible. Maybe it’s because of a brand difference? I used Gold Standard
I made these with my chocolate protein powder and added two tbsp of almond butter. Man are they tasty! Mine were slightly gritty as people stated above, but it wasn’t off putting. It kind of reminds me of a buttery cookie. I like them a lot.
Thanks for the idea!
Where is the mold from?
The mold is from amazon and it is linked in the recipe instructions!
I made these with a whey/casein blend protein (PE Science). Protein containing casein is supposed to actually be better for cooking. I doubled the recipe and made 20 servings. They are salty, to my surprise! My husband says they’re so salty he can’t eat them, but that’s not true for my taste. Just wondering with all the cooking you do, if you’d have an idea why or a solution for the next batch. Thanks!
My bf recently started Keto diet and he has been finishing up the protein powder he has been using from before but I just checked now and has 32g carbs! He has an app where he checks his micros and just by that shake his carbs are done for the day- we would like to get a low carb shake and saw you made this video about isopure cookies and cream shake. In the video you used a tub- I see in amazing the tub only comes in chocolate or vanilla or there is isopure bags- and that has the cookies and cream flavour. What is the size of tub you have in the video and how much? I’m in Canada
That sounds like some kind of mass building powder to me. We normally buy the 3 lb tub for about $40 on amazon. Sometimes it is out of stock, but most of the time they have it.
I have tried to make your cookies and cream fat bombs. I use the exact same protein powder you use. They come out grainy. Are they suppose to be grainy? If not, what am I doing wrong. The third time I stirred the ingredients for 20 mins. Still grainy.
Thank you so much,
Shannon
Hey shannon, we’re working on figuring out this issue that some people seem to be having. We didn’t come across this issue, but lots of people seem to be.
Have these been perfected yet? Most people having problems. Many others that are good on u tube. Disappointed with this one!!
A lot of people have success with adding the protein powder and dissolving it in the coconut oil before heating.
Hey Megha!!?
I just made your cookies and cream fat bombs with the same brand ingredients you listed, however the protein powder did not seem to dissolve into my coconut oil. When I put any of the mixture in my mouth the powder seizes up and forms a gritty chewy substance. Have you ever encountered this? What am I doing wrong? The flavor is really tasty, I’d love to be able to make these successfully!!
BTW…y’all are are the best! You and Matt have helped me tremendously in my start to a keto lifestyle!! I’m down 11 lbs in 2 weeks and I physically and emotionally feel FANTASTIC! No more depression, no more body aches, no more cravings that I can’t say “No” to. My life as completely changed!! It’s such a relief to be happy and excited in life, so THANK YOU!!
Susan R
Hey Susan! Fabulous success on your Keto journey! Congratulations! I’d up your coconut oil and leave it on the stove for a bit longer. You shouldn’t have the grittiness anymore! Good luck, and let us know how that helps!
I’ve solved the gritty/grainy problem. I used 50g of coconut oil, 50g of kerrygold salted butter, and 2 scoops of protein powder. And before pouring it into the moulds i mixed it all up in my bullet blender. WOW they came out amazing!!! Its not gritty at al, and the salt from the butter enhances the flavour!
Thanks for the tips!!
did you melt the oil and the butter first and put them in the bullet with the powder 2 scoops?
I tried the blender version to make my 2nd batch. It came out great! Thank you for sharing!
Hi friends! Thanks for sharing this recipe! I’m new to keto…2 weeks in and I’m struggling to meet my fat goals each day. I’m definitely going to give these a try. Any other recommendations for ways to increase fat without having to straight up drink oils?
P.s. Your kitty is adorable and no judgement here on her being on the table (even though I’m a dog person) 😉
I think just adding fats to your veggies and using fattier cuts of meat will get you a long way. Bulletproof coffee is another good way but I guess that may be “drinking oils” 🙂
Macadamia nuts. Almost 100% from fats and delicious. Try Costco for a big value bag.
I had the same gritty problem and it was hard to chew. I thought it might have been because I didn’t stir it long enough in the pan.
I’m from holland and want to make these but don’t know how many grams is de coconutoil. Proteine is 28 i like to know the grams for oil. In holland we dont use cups ?
Greetz linda
Hi – love what you guys are doing! I have a question: I bought the cookies and cream to make the fat bombs you guys make with coconut oil. I’ve made a batch and they were super griddle. Is that normal? I haven’t been able to try the finished product yet, but what I made was really really gritty. Did I miss something, or is that normal? Thanks in advance!
Hey liz! Up the coconut oil by a bit and keep it a bit longer on the stove. Should help your grittiness out quite a bit! Good luck!
Hi There!
As opposed to the protein powder, could we use Nature’s Way Superfood Organic Cacao Powder 125g ?
Hi Katee! We’ve not used that cacao powder before, and it could substantially change the macros, but if it fits for you, go for it and let us know how it turns out! We’d love to hear!
These are awesome. For the gritty issue, my first batch was having this issue. Listened to Matt & I decided to up the Coconut Oil and have it longer on the stove.
Now I used Kirkland Signature Coconut Oil and not the one listed.
1 Cup Coconut Oil + 1/3 cup to 4 scoops of Isopure Cookies & Cream protein powder.
I had it on the stove between halfway between low and medium and had heated for about 10 minutes mixing constantly until it was more “fluid-like”. The grittyness left and it was creamy after freezing for about 30 minutes. 1 & 1/3 Cup of coconut oil filled the entire Silicone Mold.
Thanks Matt & Megha
Any update on how to make thwm more creamy? Thanks!
I made these and they were very grainy. So disappointing:( I’ll try them with more oil and some Pb because I bought the ISO pure especially for this recipe 🙁
Tried these and were overall good, but I wasn’t a fan of the protein powder getting stuck to my teeth. Not sure if I’ll make them again, but I’ll definitely experiment with putting protein powder (probably smaller amounts) into my fat bombs.
The graininess of the fat bombs gets fixed if you add an extra bit of coconut oil and about a tablesoon of almond butter. Just stir stir stir. Stir it for like 20 minutes. Stir it a long-ass-time. Stir it while watching Keto Connect videos. Stir it while vaping! Stir it till it can be stirred no more!
Seriously, just stir it longer. This isn’t like making your grandma’s cookies, people. You can’t stir this stuff enough. So keep stirring. ;P
this comment made my whole freakin day, LOL
Unfortunately, I had the same gritty problem as well
I finally made these yesterday. Used Quest Peanut Butter protein powder. Added a little bit of Ghiradelli unsweetened cocoa powder and about a tbsp of peanut butter (just peanuts & salt) to the saucepan. So yummy and definitely creamy!
Two questions:
1. Do you eat these frozen or let them defrost before eating?
2. The taste of coconut is pretty powerful. Is that the particular brand of oil I’m using, or have others found that too?
Thanks for another great recipe!
I just made 2 batches cant wait till their done.Had a thought of adding 1 to my coffee!
Made Cookies & Creme fat bombs yesterday, WHEWWWWWWWWWwwwwwww, are they ever sweet. Adding more nuts to them took care of that.
My ‘cookie sheet’ pan wouldn’t fit into my fridge BUT my cutting board did! Actually perfect size. yayyy
Thanks for all your videos and recipes.

When doing any kind of “baking” recipes often are adjusted if you’re at higher/lower altitude or in a dryer/more humid location. Perhaps if the Keto Connect folks tell where they live by general location we can all get an idea on how things need to adjust. I live in the desert, and need

When doing any kind of “baking” recipes often are adjusted if you’re at higher/lower altitude or in a dryer/more humid location. Perhaps if the Keto Connect folks tell where they live by general location we can all get an idea on how things need to adjust. I live in the desert, and have had to add moisture and/or increase cooking times for every recipe so far. These folks are not professional chefs so they are just telling you what worked for them. Do what they are doing – experiment and have fun!
Just got done making these step by step and they came out perfect. I did melt some ChocZero 85% Cocoa chocolate and drizzled it into the fat bombs and delicious. I guess the only downfall is it was really sweet the first couple bites but subsided. Definitely making these again. THANKS MATT AND MEGHA (Miley and Julius too) 🙂
Hi,
So do you count calories?
Fat has more calories, so to loose weight
How do you figure out calories deflict,, since you’re eating a lot more fat so a lot more calories
Hey sam!
We count calories over here. Fat is generally a macro that can be pulled from your fat stores when in weightloss mode, but when not in weightloss mode, fat bombs can be an excellent tool for maintaining body weight. Also helpful for controlling hunger when in weightloss mode. Best of luck!
You two are the BEST, Thanks so much!! These were soo good. Any other Easy recipes/fat bombs??
get creative we say! As long as there’s fat, you’ll be good! Experiment with some of your favorite keto ingredients. Heck, even make chocolate fat bombs and keep toppings on hand – nuts, unsweetened coconut, peanut butter etc, and just make a variety pack!
I am new to Keto – one week in! I was linked to your site and now have watched all your videos. Great information. I made these bombs today using Arbonne Chocolate powder and the powder only partly dissolved; there was a lot left in the pot. Despite this the bombs set up nicely and tasted delicious. I imagine that various powders depending on the composition dissolve differently.
Any advice for people who have food allergies – I am allergic to nuts, peanuts, sesame seeds, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds. I love to bake so am going to play around with coconut flower.
thanks for all the great advice!
Cynthia (Roots lover (from Ottawa originally) and USF graduate from DNP program and faculty)
so glad your fat bombs set up nice, let us know how the coconut flour works!
Wow, made these last night for first time, and LOVE them!!! So easy and tasty. I’ll have to limit myself from going too crazy. Is it safe to assume a couple of these each day would not be an issue? Too good….thanks for all you guys go!
These are DELICIOUS!! They remind me of a Hershey’s cookies-n-cream candy bar! I did not have a problem with the powder dissolving, but mine did do something very strange. With every bite, the powder would coat my lips, and stick to my teeth. I guess, now that I’m typing this out, I’m realizing it must not have dissolved 😂. Maybe my protein powder is out of date. Idk. But none the less, I will definitely try it again! Thank you for all y’all do!!
Thanks so much for this great comment and for your support! We love that you loved the bombs! Yes, the powder should be cooked a bit while longer. Good luck!
I made these today, a lazy way. I microwaved the coconut oil, stirred in the protein powder and mixed well. Poured into molds, sprinkled with nuts and salt….YUM!!!! I expected them to be a bit grainy, because I “rushed” the process, but they are none the less DELICIOUS!
Thank you Matt & Megha for another winner!
do you have any recommendations for any soy-free whey powders? I have an intolerance/allergy to all legumes including the soy lechitin in most commercial products but I would love to find a protein powder that works for keto and my allergy! Thank you!
Try “Muscle Feast” on amazon. It uses sunflower lecithin.
First I want to say I LOVE your site,youtube, and all your info that helps inform me on the right path. And you two are too cute! But I was curious on your take on this brand of protein powder? InnerAmour Isolate Zero carb protein powder? Thanks ahead for your answer y’all are great!
Not the worst option, but we like to stay away from Asce K as a sweetener. There are better options that just use sucralose or even stevia, such as Isopure and muscle feast.
How big are the bumps in the tray? like 2 TBS? I want to look for one similar and our local Salvo always has them. You guys are so great-keep it real!
Here are the exact molds – http://amzn.to/2H1nQWP
My husband and I have made these and other kinds. When we use this protein powder for some reason it is really really chewy. Do you know why it would be like this?
sorry when I posted this none of the other comments were showing. You can disregard my previous comment 🙂
not sure why this happens, but it seems to be common with protein powders in fat bombs!
Hi guys, thank you for the awesome recipes! I have a question about this one….. I used half a cup coconut oil (it was solid) and two scoops of the cookie and cream powder, I melted the coconut oil first in the pot then added the powder, kept cooking it while stirring for about a minute. When they came out of the freezer they were really good, but it seems that the powder is getting rather clumpy and collects on our teeth. Is that supposed to be like that?? Maybe I didn’t use enough coconut oil? Do you have any ideas?
Some people have reported the same things while others, including ourselves, haven’t had that issue. Unfortunately, it might just be taste and texture preference. We apologize for the clumpy texture. That being said, I would maybe suggest taking it off the heat right before adding the protein powder. Too much heat direct heat can alter the outcome of protein powder.
Yuck,…followed the recipe (excluding the nuts) using same brands and same ingredients. Gritty, dry, and after the coconut oil dissolved while chewing I was left with chewed up blobs of protein powder sticking to my teeth and the roof of my mouth. So gross i actually laughed.
I did not like these 🙁
I love you both, but this F-bomb recipe, not so much. I made the exactly the way you did, Isopure Cookies and Cream…came out rainy, clumpy, salty and tasted soapy -they were to be filed under”G” But, thinking about some of the potential options I tried this as an ingredient in BulletProof Coffee..it works beautifully, I took a cup of hot coffee, a TBSP of heavy cream, one CnC FB and a TBSP of Chocolate NuStevia sauce and buzzed for about 15 seconds. Magic BulletProof coffee! Great foamy top, delish latte and lots of healthy fat! Nice bev! Dont throw away, re-purpose!!!!Loves yous guys!
Gonna make these but heat the chopped nuts up in the pot so they aren’t as raw. Also going to do a mix of cocoa butter and coco oil. Topping with some lilys choc chips as they set up in the freezer.
Hope it won’t be gritty…I’d go easy-ish on the protein powder and make sure it is well mixed in…
I left mine to cook a couple of extra minutes to help with the “grittiness” others had mentioned. Frankly the slight grittiness feels more like I’m eating real cookies 🙂 however, I’ve notice they stick to my teeth like crazy, which is kind of annoying. They taste pretty good, though. and no carbs! Bonus. 🙂
Megha, I don’t know if I did something wrong with this recipe. I made a quadruple batch of the recipe but I changed it a bit. I used 1/2 coconut oil & 1/2 butter thinking that it would taste even better with Kerrygold butter since I am not a big fan of coconut oil. I wanted to taste it so I took a teaspoon & took a tiny bite. It had a nice flavor. I liked the cookies & cream but it was very grainy. I reheated it & I used an immersion blender to be sure that I had gotten it mixed well. It was still grainy & stuck to my teeth. I am not sure whether the butter made it worse or not but I can’t imagine that this is going to turn out better if I put it in a mold. Unless I can figure out something else to try I probably just wasted my money on this. Any ideas?
Other people have said cooking the mixture a couple of extra minutes helps with the grittiness.
So my silicon tray holds 24 tiny bombs and the ingredients fit the whole tray and they were delicious. Not grainy at all.
This is the most delicious thing I’ve ever tasted in my life, lol. I have to be sure to make a smaller batch, because the temptation is strong to gobble them all up. I had originally read the problems people had with graininess and when I first tasted it, I thought I was going to have the same problem, but once they were frozen, they were so smooth and delicious I couldn’t believe it. Thank you so much for these wonderful recipes!
How much is a serving size, if not using the same mold y’all did? I’m new to this and still figuring out how to calculate the nutrition
The entire batch is 1410 calories, 130 fat, 2 net carbs, and 53 protein so you can just divide those number up into how many fat bombs you make 🙂
You two are awesome! Started keto at end of January and your videos have been tremendously helpful. Love cauliflower fried rice and cauliflower mac & cheese. Can’t wait for the isopure I ordered online to get here so I can try these fat bombs. I’m allergic to macadamia nuts so I won’t be including those in the recipe. Do you know the nutritional value without the nuts? Thanks.
About 119 cals, 0 carbs, 11g fat.
Made these today and they turned out great! I added a pinch of salt like you suggested, and they were perfect.
I tried making these for the first time a few nights ago, and these turned out great! There’s a bit of a gritty texture to them (I’m going to try more coconut oil next time I make them and see if that helps), but after the first little bit melts away, they become chewy, almost like a taffy feel in the mouth.
I was afraid the coconut flavor would turn me off of them just as much as my husband would love it, but it’s not too strong of a coconut flavor at all. We LOVE THESE and I plan to experiment with other protein powder flavors as well!
Hi Matt and Megha and crew of keto connect. I just made these last night and just let the bombs stay in the freezer til now at 1pm ish cst. These are awesome and simple to make. I was wondering if I can actually put these in the fridge since I will be having 1 or 2 for my sweet tooth fix at night and if they will keep their shape but just soften a tad bit?
They should hold shape in your fridge.
Can I use butter instead of the coconut oil??
Yes, that should taste fine!
Have tried these twice but both times they were inedible. They were too chewy and kept on getting stuck to the roof of my mouth. Any idea’s on what I am doing wrong? I am using the exact same ingredients listed. I really like the taste so I want to find a solution. Thanks.
Someone commented this: “If you melt the oil completely over very low heat, take it off the burner (or out of the microwave) and let it sit for about 30-60 seconds, *then* add the protein powder & mix well, they should solidify nice and creamy. Keeping them in the fridge v. the freezer also seems to improve texture in my experience.”
If I made these fat bombs per the recipe what would be the recommendation for too many? Lol love the taste was tasting them as I poured a smidge gritty but I can deal with that and adjust in the future. I made a batch of isopure strawberries and cream with sprinkled chia seeds (waiting for those to set). Just thinking I don’t want to over-do it before bed, as I LOVE something sweet before laying down. Hoping these will do it.
Mine are a bit gritty, but not enough to deter me from eating the wonderful deliciousness of them! LOVE the cookies and cream powder!
Hi cute couple there,
Thank you for creating this recipe. I have the same gritty problem too. Then I check the serving on isopure bottle. It says 31 gram for 1 scoop. Do you think maybe this is why it taste gritty? I like this recipe and hope I can make a successful batch next time. Than you guys!

My husband and I recently started the Keto diet with fantastic results. You guys have been on our play list since day one. Decided to try the fat bombs. The protein powder seems to instantly become stuck to our teeth when chewing these. We used Isopure but the chocolate mint flavor. Not sure if it’s the flavor or the recipe. Suggestions?

Hi! How do you suggest using the chocolate in your pics?
You could add that into the fat bomb with the nuts if you want to jazz up the flavor!
I’m a big fan of ketoconnect! Love to watch their videos and have tried many recipes and have been awesome!But this one I found gritty and the flavor just isn’t there for me 🙁 I’m a little disappointed… Some say they are not gritty. I think the reason they seem gritty is because I’ve already been making some with Orgain organic creamy chocolate fudge protein powder (150 cal & 3 net carbs / 2 scoops) decadent… Those are the best I’ve had! Even better with walnuts. Half cup coconut oil two scoops of Orgain and a quarter cup of walnuts… It’s like eating a candy bar! And it’s smoother than these. These also had not only a gritty texture but some were gummy while chewing. I cook a lot and I take care to stir while pouring into the mold,I stir between each mold:-/ BUT I absolutely love keto connect don’t stop watching their videos! Matt and Mehga keep up the good work!❤️
I tried using the salted caramel quest protein powder but it came out all gritty 🙁
Any suggestions?
Some people had said cooking the mixture for a little longer helps with the grittiness.
Hi there, I’m trying to add these fat bombs to “My FatSecret.com” so that I can keep track of my calories, etc. but it requires that I enter all nutritional fields, including:
Cholesterol – ?mg
Sodium – ?mg
Potassium – ?mg
Sugars – ?g
This is for a 1-bomb serving size. Any idea what to put for these fields?
Thanks a bunch! Love your recipes!
Sincerely,
Mackenzie
Sorry, we don’t calculate those numbers.
Is there something I can use in place of Protein Powder? I don’t eat anything I can’t harvest/grow/hunt/make myself (and that is especially true for chemically flavored “foods”) but I am not sure of the consistency if I just leave it out.
Thanks!
Can you have 100% chocolate and peanut butter? Adding those to the melted coconut oil will make for a delicious, easy fat bomb.
I wonder whats the measurement of each fat bomb: How much mix do you put on each fat bomb.
I love that you guys create the MyFitnessPal recipes too! Thank you!
Just tried this recipe for the first time. Salty! Anyone noticing the overwhelming, inedible taste of salt? I’m also going to agree on grittiness. I just couldn’t palate them (the bf is ok with them though)
I used exact measurements and Isopure cookies & cream with coconutoil. Unbearable.
I’m going to try the vanilla with PB2 and I’ll try this again but, I’m going to back off on the PP down to one or one and a half scoops. Maybe my heat was too high but, ick.
Mine were VERY salty, as well!
Hey. If eaten often, can fat bombs increase one’s weight? I know that carbs are for weight gain, but is fat also?
Yes, you can gain weight by eating too much fat. Calories still matter, but eating a low carb diet makes it easier to eat less calories and lessen hunger/cravings. Please check out our Keto for Beginners page for more guidance and info. https://www.ketoconnect.net/ketogenic-diet/
So, for your Keto Bomb recipe, the protein powder measurement, is it actually 28 grams weight per scoop or 28 grams of protein content?
Per scoop, so about 60g total protein powder.
With only 2 ingredients, I don’t know what went wrong with mine. It wasn’t can’t and wasn’t good. I’ll stick with goody beats almond butter fat bomb for now.
I watched your yt vid about these and decided to give it a try myself.
The flavour is nice and all, but after the coconut oil dissolves, I’m left with a chewy mass that sticks around for a while…is this normal, or am I doing something wrong? =\
Hi,
Why didn’t you change recipe at 1st? I bought all ingredients, etc BEFORE I saw all the all the FAILED RECIPES.
WHAT IS FINAL RECIPE?????
THANK YOU VERY MUCH,
LYNN
So I tried this fat bomb recipe today, and it looked like the protein powder had dissolved completely in the oil. However, when I tried it, the fat bomb actually has a kind of powdery substance. Should I increase the amount of oil to offset the powder?
You can tweak the recipe, if you like. This is the recipe that works best for us and our taste buds!
My boyfriend and I have started a keto diet and this is our new favourite snack/treat recipe for sure! We love it – there’s so many different options! We’ve done a version with other low-carb protein powder flavours where we did one scoop of chocolate and one scoop of banana and it was so yummy! However, at some point we’re hoping to transition to a low carb diet rather than strict >20g/day keto which we’re currently doing. That said, we’re going to have to lower our fat intake a little as we slowly add in some carbs. Does anyone have suggestions for something else to use to “bind” in this recipe other than coconut oil that would make it a bit lower fat? I know it’s kind of ironic considering these are “fat bombs” lol. Thanks in advance!
You could always use water and coconut essence mixed with the protein powder, then freeze them? I’m sure they wouldn’t be as satisfying that way though. Butter would work but is only mildly less fat than coconut oil.
I live in Australia and Isopure isn’t the easiest to come by. I did have a splurge and bought a container online (Which arrived today), after watching how highly you guys rate it….It tastes and smells amazing.
Anyway…I have eyed this recipe off for ages, one of the main reasons I wanted the isopure in the first place.I read the reviews and noticed a lot of people saying it came out gritty. This is what I learned after having a play with the recipe.
*First batch: I made it following the recipe to a T (On the stove) -It came out really gritty, not smooth at all.
*Second batch: I microwaved the coconut oil and let it cool slightly (A suggestion stated above in the comments) – A little less gritty.
*Third batch: As above but let it cool even more until it was “almost” starting to solidify (Really white but still liquid)- SOoooooooo gritty lol.
*Fourth batch: Heated the coconut oil rather warm, in hopes it might help it to dissolve -It didn’t :p
*Fifth batch: I microwaved the coconut oil and added more oil this time -More Creamy and far less gritty- would be the best out of the lot.
*Sixth batch: In my online order I also received some coco butter so I thought maybe the oil might have something to do with it. I followed the recipe with the best batch of bombs. Taste wise, amazing…texture wise…gritty.
So my conclusion is…
*I see where you were going with the flavour…really nice
*When making these, don’t go by what the liquid consistency is -They were all gritty but were less gritty once solid.
*Once they dissolve in your mouth, are you suppose to have a chewy mass left behind??? (Almost Toffee like) I actually like it lol but want to check that it’s normal.
*Would I make them again? No -They were too hit and miss.
*One last thing…Ispoure cookies and cream is amazing, thank you for putting me onto it 🙂
Love your recipes guys -You are never going to please everyone’s taste and texture buds. I had a lot of fun playing around with the recipe and have had my daily calorie count by tasting LOL …Not to mention ALL the fat bomb I have in the freezer (Because I don’t like wastage).
I’m wondering if the protein pwdr might have settled & needs to be stirred up (?), as we all probably bought it brand new, with this in mind…right out of the container, into some fat bombs!
Hi Matt, so i just made these and when I decided to eat one they starting to taste like a regular bar but once i had to keep on chewing on them they started to turn into a taffy like texture where it would stick to my teeth and i jsut hate that.
I followed the recipe exactly so im unsure why this has happened? do you have any suggesstions to not have this happened bc i really enjoy this fast Fat Bombs.
Hi Megha,
Thanks for the recipe !
I would be very grateful if you could answer my query. I just bought a zero carb cookies and cream isopure and it has no black specks (tiny cookie crumbs) in it. A friend of mine says that the powder is fake since isopure cookies and cream powder has black specks. As u have used the product, u can clear my confusion.
Ravi.
Megha says it does not have black specks in it. 🙂
Hey guys. Just started Keto 8 days ago and am down 10 lbs. Woot woot. I am sure some of that is water, but not all of it for sure! I have been researching Keto and came across the two of you and your videos/website and, although I have checked out a few others websites, yours is by far my fave!! Just ordered your cook book too. I have not yet made these fat bombs, but will be doing so tomorrow and I can’t wait! Thanks for doing so many videos, lists etc. It really helps a newbie like me try and figure out how all this works!!!!
Michael
Hi Megha & Matt!
Thanks for all the “research” you do to give us theses wonderful recipes! Love the comment about all the Chocolate Chip Cookies in your fridge!! tough job! LOL! Has anyone tried using the Mixed Berry Flavor of Whey Protein? Would we make it the same way? Instructions say to shake the Berry Flavor, not stir, so would mixing it then blending it, do the same thing for Fat Bombs? Thanks for including your fur babies in your videos! You guys are wonderful! Blessings!
Well, this was an expensive disaster. I melted the coconut oil in the micro, blended in the cookies and cream Isopure protein powder and set it in the silicone molds. I didn’t object to the grittiness as much as how once the oil melted out if formed a chewy lump. so I gently melted it again and blended it for some time in a high speed blender. That produced no improvement. Maybe I didn’t have the oil hot enough? Other people think they had the oil too hot? So sign of the protein powder dissolving in oil. Maybe dissolve in water and try and emulsify with the oil? No good so far.
I will need to go with walnuts because that is what I have in the house at the moment.. I love the low carb count on these and I am about out of fat bombs so this looks like the next fat bombs I will be makiing Thanks for the recipe.
I made 3 batches with vanilla isopure. They are gritty n stick to my teeth. What is wrong. 1/2 coc oul heated n 2 scoops isopure till creamy . not very good. Help?
Hi, my suggestion is to mix the protein powder into the oil before heating and that may help.
grainy/chewy here also, I tried 2 times. I don’t want to waste product. or daily food allowance on bad stuff, so looking for something to add to this, maybe cream cheese. last resort….
chocolate cloud muffin
INGREDIENTS
1 oz Cream Cheese
1 large Egg
1 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
2 tbsps Vanilla Whey Protein
2 tsps Cocoa Powder (Unsweetened)
2 tsps Xylitol
1/4 tsp Baking Powder (Sodium Aluminum Sulfate, Double Acting)
1/2 tsp Cinnamon
1/8 tsp Salt
1 packet 100% Natural Stevia
Made these tonight – my first batch of keto fat bombs. They turned out like others have posted – grainy/chewy and got stuck in my teeth. Followed the recipe exactly and stirred plenty. It was like chewing on coconut wax. I had to rinse my mouth with warm water to help clean it out of my teeth. Expensive disappointment. 🙁
Sorry about that. Some people have success mixing the protein powder with the liquid coconut oil before heating it.
Can you tell me I bought the small bag of isopure cookies and cream and it doesn’t come with a scoop. What does 60 grams 2 scoops equal in cups ?
That is odd that it didn’t come with a cup. I would use a food scale to measure the grams.
Hello! I made these yesterday and I think I must hVe done something wrong. Will the protein actually dissolve into the coconut oil? Mine definitely didn’t so the fat bombs are kind of powdery/gritty and you have to spend like 10 min after you eat one just picking it out of your teeth. I wonder if I put them back into a pot and melted it back down if it will fix the issue…
A lot of people have issues with this. It is better if you add the protein powder to the coconut oil before you heat it.
How would I add this into my Carb Manager for each piece?
You would have to make a recipe for this in carb manager. Add all of the ingredients and it should tell you the nutrition which you can add to your day.
I’m making these for the third time. My fav new keto snack.I add a couple Lily’s chips to the top. Yum! I keep them in the freezer. I’m a big fan . Your recipes are practical and good. Keep it up.v
Tried these today…mine are very “gritty”??
Yes, a lot of people have that problem. Try dissolving the protein powder in room temperature oil before heating it.
These were terrible and I don’t know why. Use 1/2 cup HEB coconut oil and 60 grams isopure c&c. They were like chewing wax. I melted the coconut oil and then added th powder and mixed good. Any suggestions?
Some people say that it mixes and dissolves better if you mix them together before heating.
How much does a fat bomb weigh? I made mini ones, got a great silicone candy pan on Amazon. Trying to figure out how much they weight for my calculator. Thank you
I would just focus on the servings that you made from the recipe and use that to calculate nutrition info. For example, if the nutrition info is for 10 fat bombs, multiply the nutrition info by 10 to get the full recipe stats, then divide by the amount of servings you got from the recipe.
wow you guys. you really need to read the comments on the fat bombs. let me start off by saying i have made these dozens of times with quest cookies and cream and they are fantastic. GNC was out of quest so i tried the isopure recommended in your vid. the most disgusting thing i have ever put in my mouth. i immediately went to read the comments on the video thinking i must have done something very wrong. a salty sticky crayon in my mouth. there is a lot of confusion as to how this could possibly be an accurate video and recipe from you guys. we all count on you guys to make and test the best of the best for us. a 45 buck tub of drywall spackle is just a shame to even own. making these with quest was as good as real candy in taste and texture. there is no way what i made tonight is the same thing you guys put in your mouths. but its exactly whats in the vid. thanks for all the hard work but so so deeply disappointed with this. matt
I made these and they are just a little grainy, but, oh so delicious! In my opinion, anything really cookies and cream has crumble of cookies and has a grainy texture to it. I think I had mine on the heat just a little too long, they are chewy when you get the end of it kinda like Carmel. It’s a winner with me!!
I made these with half coconut oil and half coconut butter with some cinnamon swirl protein powder and macadamia nuts. They were to die for!! The coconut butter add more creaminess to the fat bomb with I think tastes great.
I came across this earlier in the week and was so excited to get to the store and buy the ingredients to make them……what a mistake and waste of money this has been thus far.
Like so many of the other posts mine came out very grainy and it was like eating salty wax.
I went back into the kitchen and came to one immediate conclusion….the ISOPURE will NOT dissolve in the oil. If I take the same amount pf powder and user water, it dissolves jut like one would expect. In the oil, not a chance.
I will play with this some more to see what I can do but my hopes are super low.
You really should pull this off your site until you find the perfect solution for all of us. The way it is now is 100% not edible and is actually pretty disgusting.
UPDATE: – went back to GNC and using their 30 day policy traded in the ISOPURE for a can of QUEST Cookies & Cream.
Results = SCORE for the WIN!!!!
The wax and grit are gone. These are silky smooth and a HUGE hit with the family and friends who have tired them.
For those who want to try again, QUEST is the way to go.
You may also need to check the macros but the only thing I changed was the company who made the powder.
I want the fat bomb molds. what size are those? they look to be large and I cannot find them on amazon. do you have a link to share? thank you both!
You can find them on this holiday gifts page where it is linked 🙂
I made these and my results were the same as many who are commenting. I melted the coconut on low heat. I added the recommended amount of C&C Isopure. I bought the mold recommended and put them in the refrigerator for a few hours. They tasted almost salty (I did not add salt) and were grainy and was almost a taffy/toffee like texture after chewing for a few seconds. It was stuck in my teeth. I could see how these would be really great but I don’t want to keep trying to make these and waste product. Has anyone actually figured out a way to make these successfully? I’m not seeing a consistent response on how to fix this problem.

I’m trying to find a smooth creaming choc mint fat bomb
Hoping you might do a recipe for simple ones with only
a few ingredients.
I will try this recipe with choc protein powder and mint extract.
We are new to keto ( past 3 months)
Hubby and are down a combined 40 lbs.
Keep up the great work !!!!
I made these yesterday exactly the way the recipe says. They turned out great! Very tasty and super easy to make!! Thanks Keto Connect! That was a lot of exclamation points.
Haha – we love the enthusiasm!
I’ve made the recipe twice and it was very gritty and bitter.
The best way to use these is to put one in your coffee in the morning. They flavor your coffee and add mct oil. Otherwise I would not eat these straight.
