These Nutty Coconut Fat Bombs are an easy-to-make snack that is filling, full of healthy fats, and absolutely delicious! It’s a no-bake recipe that’s gluten-free, paleo, keto, low carb, and vegan.

First of all…WELCOME to my new site!!! If you’re new here, this isn’t applicable, but if you’re a returning Bakerita fan, you might notice a whole new site design!

I’ve been wanting to get my site redesigned for YEARS now and I finally stopped procrastinating and contacted Heather from Viva La Violet to get my site redone. She did an amazing job translating my jumbled vision into reality and has been a dream to work with.

Some of the most exciting changes are BIGGER photos, a way-easier-to-navigate recipe index, and a whole new homepage! There, you’ll see some featured seasonal recipes, popular recipe categories, and a feed of my new recipes at the bottom.

I hope you love the design as much as I do! But because it is brand new…things may not be working 100% right away. Please let me know if you have trouble with anything on the site so I can get it fixed ASAP!

Alright, now onto the balllllssss. This recipe came about when I was bored one night and just started throwing ingredients into my borrowed food processor. I wasn’t even really planning on posting these V1 Nutty Coconut Fat Bombs, but after I shared on my Instagram stories, tons of you wanted the recipe.

I don’t blame you guys either – nutty, flavorful, easy to make, and loaded with healthy fats, what more could you want in a fat bomb?! Then I realized I hadn’t measured anything the first time around, because I hadn’t been planning on sharing the recipe. *facepalm*

Luckily, I vaguely remembered what I did, so I tested another batch to perfect things. And perfect, they were! Nutty, coconutty, flavored with cinnamon and vanilla, with a hint of crunch from the cacao nibs. Swoooon. Dang, you guys, these are GOOD – so flavorful, filling, and nutritious.

I had been wanting to make a keto-friendly, low-carb, paleo + vegan fat bomb for a while now, because I’ve been getting lots of requests for them (mostly from real-life family and friends). And though these came about unintentionally, these coconut fat bombs totally do the trick.

I don’t count calories or macros or anything like that. But, I figured some of you would be curious, so I did calculate the macros for this recipe. You can find all the nutritional info listed below the recipe.

These coconut fat bombs are, as you might have guessed, made with a whole bunch of healthy fats: nuts (I used walnuts the first time, and a mix of walnuts and pecans the second), coconut, coconut butter (I used my homemade toasted coconut butter), almond butter, and a bunch of seeds. They’re bursting with flavor too, from the cinnamon, vanilla, salt, cacao nibs, and optionally, a little bit of maple syrup.

Skip the maple syrup if you’re keeping these totally Keto or if you’re on Whole30. If you’re doing Keto and want them a little bit sweeter, you could try adding a teeeensy amount of stevia or monkfruit. If you’re on Whole30 and want some sweetness, 1 date would probably do the trick. Even without any sweetener though, these are still super flavorful and delicious.

They come together in a flash in the food processor, and they make a wonderful pre- or post-workout snack…or just an anytime-your-hungry snack. In fact, in the middle of writing this post I grabbed one to snack on the fight my hunger pains. You could even crumble one up on top of a smoothie or bowl as well…

These Nutty Coconut Fat Bombs have a melt in your mouth texture, tons of flavor, and they’re suitable for just about every restrictive diet (except the ones where you can’t have nuts 🙄). So come on, my paleo, keto, grain-free, gluten-free, dairy-free, vegan, and sugar-free friends…let’s make some balls!
