🧾 Ingredients Used
- Almond flour: Almond flour is my go-to because it's low in carbs and high in healthy fats.
- Peanut butter: Use your favorite brand of creamy peanut butter, not crunchy.
- Sweetener: I use powdered erythritol, but you can also use powdered monk fruit sweetener.
- Softened butter: Make sure the butter is softened before you mix the ingredients so that it mixes well into the smooth peanut butter.
- Salt: Just a little bit of salt counters the peanut butter. You can adjust the amount to suit your taste preference.
- Vanilla extract: Adding a bit of vanilla will help give these keto peanut butter fat bombs some extra flavor.

The ingredients in the listed peanut butter are horrible and cause inflammation. You should always use peanut butter with only one (1) ingredient: peanuts. Crazy Richard’s is probably the best tasting & clean.
