Vegan Keto Fat Bombs

In an effort to lose weight, I tried a keto diet while still being vegan. There seems to be enough interest in this diet for me to post some of my recipes. Some recipes are more recipe and some are more guides. This one is more recipe than guide, but I suggest tweaking it to your taste. Here is the original version of this recipe.


Ingredients:

1 cup melted virgin coconut oil
1 tsp vanilla extract or imitation vanilla extract
Stevia to your sweetness level (~1 Tbsp is a good start)
1/2 tsp salt (kosher, sea, pink himalayan - you can play with this)
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder (make more chocolate-y with up to 4 Tbsp total.)
2 Tbsp almond butter or peanut butter

Directions:
  1. Melt coconut oil if not already melted in microwave (~1.5 minutes)
  2. Add all remaining ingredients.
  3. Whisk until well mixed.
  4. Pour into mini-cupcake pan, filling each cup about half-way. 
  5. Freeze for 20 minutes to harden.

Notes:
  • Makes 16. (Fewer if you fill the cups all the way, more if you skimp a little.)
  • Store in refrigerator.
  • Depending on your brands, these will be ~1/4 carb or more.
  • Taste awesome topped with peanut butter.
