I am always in the mood for a brownie, but most of the time my macros won’t allow it or I’m just craving something indulgent and sweet with not time to bake brownies! To make it more acceptable and easy to eat brownies everyday we created these Mini Brownie Bites that are basically delicious, chocolate-y fat bombs. No baking is required and you can make them in bulk weeks ahead of time.
Check out our list of the 17 Best Keto Fat Bombs.
The Best Low Carb Chocolates To Use.
When it comes to finding good options for low carb chocolate, looking at not only the nutrition, but the ingredients is key. The lower in carb the better is is, so that usually is a darker chocolate if you are just buying from the grocery store. We always get bakers chocolate from the baking section, which is great to already sweet dough and cakes!
If bakers chocolate is too bitter for you, you can find more specialty chocolate such as Lily’s chocolate chips or coco polo (our personal favorite) in certain health stores or online! Whatever you use make sure you don’t see maltitol on the label – that is a big no go!
Why We Love No Bake, Low Carb Sweets!
The most obvious reason we love no bake sweets is that less work is required overall and we can eat it sooner then if it had to bake and cool first. But, those aren’t the main reasons we love them. We also love that:
- We can make them single serve style.
- They are usually smaller portions so no over consuming.
- They can satisfy a sweet craving immediately without needing to go off plan.
- The usually last longer in the fridge or freezer than baked goods!
Some great examples of no bake desserts from our food blog are our no bake peanut butter, coconut balls, low carb chocolate mousse, and no bake cheesecakes! Give them all a try this week and satisfy your sweet tooth cravings guilt and effort free.

I wanted to make these last night but got a little confused on the chilled coconut cream, I poured the can of cream into a glass measuring cup, put into the fridge and am waiting for it to separate, then i will measure the cream from the solid part. Is that what you did? the cream seemed to be too liquidy when I opened the can so I wanted it to firm up a bit…. thoughts…
Hi. I love the flavor of these fat bombs! But, did anyone else have trouble with them not setting correctly? Mine just wouldn’t solidify. I ended up just freezing them.
I definitely love this post. Great job! I love the nutrition content of each serving really captures my attention and looking forward to trying this recipe one of this day.
When using actual coconut cream from a tin NOT coconut milk I am never sure how to use it.After chilling do you separate the coconut cream from the liquid & discard the liquid OR do you stir together & measure out the amount?
Please tell me if your carb count in your cookbook is net. Or is that why you list fiber so I can subtract to get net. This makes a lot of difference. And I haven’t been able to find any explanation of this in your EXCELLENT cookbook.
Just subtract fiber!
I subbed peanut butter and sunflower oil for the sunflower butter. I also only had half a can of coconut cream (upside down can hack) I added butter. It was good.
I have a question about your cookbook keto made easy and I looked up your website for the nutritional information on your recipes where it lists carbs and then fiber. do I subtract the fiber from the carbs to get the net carbs or are the carbs that you list really the net carbs? I’ve looked and scoured the pages leading up to the recipe section and can’t find the answer. Thank you so much!
In Keto Made Easy you have to subtract fiber from carbs and subtract the sugar alcohols as well to get net carbs.
Can I use peanut butter instead of sunflower nut butter? How about Stevia powder instead of eryhritol? What will be the quantities?
Yes you can! There will be various conversion charts online if you Search for the conversion of splenda to erythritol.
Sunflower butter? Who knew! I substituted coconut cream for heavy whipping cream and added 40 drops of stevia. These turned out freaking great! The sunflower butter just goes great with chocolate. Gives it a nice fudgy taste and texture.
Did u whip the heavy whipping cream first or use it as a liquid? Thanks
I made it without the coco powder or chocolate because I have to avoid caffeine. I had to reduce the amount of salt and sweetener, and then freeze them (instead of refrig) because they were too soft for refrig. They turned out great! Thanks.
these are so good. I believe the are our new favourite.
thanks guys
Looks delish! Can you substitute stevia drops for the erythritol?
Yep!
After the recipe Mini Brownie Bites | Fat Bombs! I was looking for the video. The video that comes up are smores. I looked on YouTube and no video. Do you have one? These sound great and the perfect fat bombs
No video for these guys!
Is there any substitute for the coconut cream? They were out at the store today and all I have on hand is regular coconut milk.
Thanks!
Something that has the same thick consistency like cream cheese might be your best option.
Is there any substitute for the coconut cream and sunflower seed butter
You talk all about using bakers chocolate and then I get to the recipe and it has chocolate chips! What gives??
You can use either! Chop up some bakers chocolate or buy a low carb lil’s chocolate chip. You could omit the chocolate chips and still have a delicious fat bomb.
Looks like I’ll be ordering stuff from Amazon so I can make these awesome treats! Drooling already! 🙂
In your brownie recipe can I substitute almond or cashew butter instead of sunflower butter?
Yep!
Thanks Megha!!!! This sounds YUMMY!! Can’t wait to make it☺
Love the idea of brownie bit fat bomb, but I am allergic to coconut. Is there a substitute I can use in place of the coconut cream & oil?
Your best option would be cream cheese or butter to make up for the fat and get a similar consistency!
I used heavy whipping cream in place of coconut cream. The coconut oil can probably be replaced by butter or cream cheese. Mine turned out fantastic!
