KETO LEMON CAKE FAT BOMBS INGREDIENTS:
This section is where I share a few suggestions and explanations for the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe.
(You can find the exact amounts needed on the recipe card embedded below this section).
The right almond flour can make or break a recipe, especially when it comes to baking.
That’s why I highly recommend using defatted almond flour.
It’s very different from most other kinds of almond flours out there as it has most of its natural fat content removed and thus behaves very differently compared to other kinds of almond flour and is much better suited for most keto baking recipes.
Most brands simply sell finely ground almond meal as almond flour, which can be fine for some recipes and is cheaper, but it has more calories (by a lot) and is not the best fit for most keto baking recipes.
It has more fat and can cause recipe failures because of this, like melted cookies.
Defatted almond flour like this one from Sukrin, is much lower in calories, has a naturally high protein content and – most importantly – is the best replacement for wheat flour I’ve ever come across (and I’ve tried a lot).
Why erythritol?
In my opinion, erythritol is 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 its natural origin and natural production process (fermentation), I also consider erythritol to be paleo-friendly.
You can use other 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.
Keep that ratio in mind when using a 1:1 sugar replacement.
One lemon equals about 2 tbsp of lemon juice.
HOW TO MAKE THE KETO LEMON CAKE FAT BOMBS:
Add all of the ingredients for the fat bomb mass into a middle-sized bowl.
Mix until you get a smooth mass.
Form about 8 bite-sized balls with your hands.
Add all of the ingredients for the topping to a middle-sized bowl.
Mix well, until you get a smooth mass.
Distribute the finished topping evenly over your lemon cake fat bombs and let them chill in your fridge for at least half an hour before you enjoy them.
Cover your fat bombs with plastic wrap and store them in your fridge for up to 3 days.
The topping tends to dry out faster, so it may make sense to prepare it fresh when you plan on eating the fat bombs at a later time.

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.
(I try to be as accurate as possible with this information, but values may vary because of natural occurring fluctuations and different products used.)
