When you’re on the ketogenic diet you have to avoid quite a lot of delicious things but thankfully, peanut butter is not one of them.
I already made a keto peanut butter fat bomb recipe but that one differs a bit from this recipe right here.
My other peanut butter fat bombs are delicious chocolatey treats but after a while, I’ve found one thing was missing:
something crunchy.
Don’t get me wrong, my first recipe also tastes amazing as it is, but I wanted to create something else that would require a bit more “work” while eating it.
Adding crunchiness was the solution.
Sometimes it’s great to chew on something when you eat a fat bomb and it will fill you up more than a very soft fat bomb.
That’s at least my experience with fat bombs.
Nevertheless, this peanut butter fat bomb recipe is also super tasty, healthy and keto-friendly.
I mean, it’s peanut butter – what could go wrong, right?
OTHER KETO FAT BOMBS:

CRUNCHY KETO PEANUT BUTTER FAT BOMBS INGREDIENTS:
(You can find the exact amounts needed in the recipe card at the end of this post!
You can either use crunchy all natural peanut butter (no sugar added) or smooth all natural peanut butter mixed with chopped peanuts.
If you want to keep the peanut butter as keto-friendly and healthy as possible, make sure that the only ingredients added are peanuts, water and/ or salt.
If there’s anything else, it could be sugar and we don’t want that!
You will find a bit of sugar on the nutrition label even on peanut butter with no sugar added – but that’s the natural sugar from the peanuts.
No way around that.
But as soon as something else pops up, especially something you can’t pronounce, skip it.
(Fun fact: Did you know sugar has over 50 names?
A neat trick manufacturers like to use is to replace the name “sugar” with one or more of the 50 other synonyms to mislead customers.
I recommend buying grass-fed butter – it’s higher in certain micronutrients and healthy fats and it contains a better ratio of omega-3 vs. omega-6 fatty acids.
in my opinion, the BEST keto-friendly sweetener.
– it doesn’t spike your blood sugar,
– it’s completely safe and
– has a very fresh & natural sweet taste.
Because of it’s natural origin and natural production process (fermentation with a certain kind of yeast) I also consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly!
Even though I’m a bit biased towards erythritol, you can use other powdered keto-friendly sweeteners that won’t spike your blood sugar as well, but be aware that you may have to add more or less sweetener if you do so.
Erythritol is about 70% as sweet as sugar whereas other keto-friendly sweeteners like monk fruit and stevia are much sweeter than sugar.
Simply taste a tiny amount of the mass before oversweetening it and adjust accordingly.
HOW TO MAKE CRUNCHY KETO PEANUT BUTTER FAT BOMBS:
1. Mix the ingredients:
Mix all of the ingredients except for the melted butter in a middle-sized bowl.
Add the melted butter last and mix until you get a smooth mass.
Place the mass in the freezer for approx. 10-15 minutes.
2. Form the fat bombs:
Take the fat bomb mass out of the freezer and scoop out small balls using a cookie scoop or measuring scoop.
Form small balls using your hands.
Optional: Roll the balls in chopped peanuts.
Place the balls into your fridge and chill for at least 30 minutes.
3. Serve:
Enjoy the chilled peanut butter fat bombs as a delicious keto treat or keto snack throughout the day.
You can store the fat bombs covered with plastic wrap in your fridge for approx. 2-3 days.
Nutrition Info:
One peanut butter fat bomb (approx. 0.5oz/14g) has approx. 1g net carbs (2g total carbs and 0.9g dietary fiber), 7.2g fat, 3.9g protein, and 87 calories.
Keep in mind that the nutrition info will change if you make bigger or smaller balls.
I used a spoon to scoop out the mass and was left with 6 balls that weighed approx. 0.5oz/14g each.
(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)
Q: How do you include Erythritol in your calculations?
A: The short answer is: I don’t, and I can tell you why.
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol which your body can’t digest.
If you ingest it, it won’t spike your blood sugar & it won’t release insulin (which is a good thing if you want to stay in ketosis).
It passes through our system basically “untouched”.
Because of this, you can subtract the carbs from erythritol completely, which is what I always do.

Would vegan butter like Earth Balance work? Has anyone tried that? I know that coconut oil is the normal go-to vegan substitute but my husband is sensitive to coconut oil.
That’s definitely a difficult one!
I’m afraid I can’t give any specific recommendations because I have no experience in using vegan butter for my recipes.
If the consistency is similar to “normal” butter or coconut oil and if it hardens up in cold temperatures I imagine it could work though.
I think it’s worth a try. 🙂
Much love, Uliana 🙂
Oh i love this recipe! It looks really easy to make too. I definitely need to make this now haha Thank you!
Thank you so much for your comment! 😀
Have fun making it! 🙂
Much love, Uliana
