Dieting or eating “healthy” with food restrictions like gluten-free, dairy-free, sugar-free, Paleo, etc. isn’t an easy task. There’s no magic pill that will instantly knock out cravings, help you lose weight, or get healthy.

But there are some things you can do along the way to help your journey be successful.

These sugar-free Craving Buster Chocolate Fat Bombs take just 2 minutes to make and with just 3 ingredients, including coconut oil, this recipe is a tasty guilt-free treat.

3 ingredient chocolate fat bombs without sweeteners

These high fat, low carb fat bombs are:

  • keto
  • whole30
  • Paleo
  • sugar-free
  • gluten-free
  • dairy-free

3 Ingredient Fat Bombs:

These no-sweetener fat bombs have three simple ingredients:

coconut oil, cacao or cocoa powder, and almond butter.

There’s no sugar, not even natural sweetener, and each serving contains less than 1 gram of sugar so these fat bombs are ideal for a no-sugar diet.

That also means if you’re expecting a sweet peanut butter cup, you WILL be disappointed.

Approach these paleo fat bombs with the right mindset and they’ll taste great, even downright delicious if you’re used to a low or no sugar diet!

However, if you’re not a fan of dark chocolate (these fat bombs are very ‘dark chocolate-y’) and/or have a sweet tooth, there are a couple easy tweaks you can make.

Updated April 2019 with healthy-sweetener options!

If you are looking for a keto fat bomb with a little more sweetness, try one or both of these suggestions:

Option #1 – try this sugar-free healthy hot cocoa mix – For the Love of Hot Chocolate. This cocoa contains a small amount of stevia and erythritol for natural sweetness and contains organic, fair-trade dark chocolate. It’s keto-friendly and still low-calorie.

You can buy the cocoa here: InJoyNow Organics

When I’m not on a sugar-free challenge, I love using this cocoa with tasty results! And it’s still perfect for a Paleo fat bomb!

Option #2 – add a few drops of liquid stevia. This vanilla creme is my favorite liquid stevia.

Whether you opt for no sweetener or you want a little sweetness, these chocolate fat bombs are very satisfying!

When I quit sugar last fall, I had awful cravings and eating one or two of these yummy bites of chocolate really helped.

One note of caution: these fat bombs do have around 122 calories each (this number will vary depending on the almond butter you choose and how closely you follow the measurements) so watch that you don’t eat a half dozen and derail your eating plan!

These Craving Buster Fat Bombs are also incredibly quick and easy to make.

How to Make Chocolate Fat Bombs

There are two ways to make this fat bombs recipe:

One – the fastest, I’m-in-a-hurry and want-to-eat-now method:

Stir everything together in a small bowl and eat with a spoon.

Two: the I-can-be-patient method:

Stir everything together, pour into candy molds or small paper muffin cups, and freeze until firm.

  1. Made a single serving today and loved it! It really helped satisfy my craving for something sweet and fatty and was so so easy to make with only three ingredients. I’ll definitely make it again. Thank you!

      • These are great. I have found a couple of things that kick them up a notch. I add little vanilla extract and almond extract, maybe 1/2 teaspoon of salt and a couple of packets of stevia. The almond butter I get doesn’t have any salt in it so this little bit of salt really is nice.

  2. I make this same thing but I add about drops of French Vanilla stevia drops to it when I want it sweet. It’s good with or without, though. Heck just mixing the almond butter and coconut oil and freezing it is even good without the chocolate or stevia.

  5. Can you use organic peanut butter instead of almond. Utter? There’s no sugar added just what is available in my pantry at the time!

    Reply

    • Yes, absolutely! You can use any nut butter (or even sunbutter) for this recipe, just keep in mind that the calories/nutritional facts may change.

  6. I just tried to make them today. I’m not sure what I did wrong, but the coconut oil is overpowering. Any suggestions?

  8. Made these for my husband as he was having peanut butter and chocolate withdrawals on his low or no carb diet. He loved these. I made them before I left on a business trip and it’s a good thing that I didn’t try them before he only had a few left. I ate one when I returned and they taste great.

    • Jonathan, I appreciate your kind comment. I have been known to miscalculate in the past 😉
      I looked at the labels again and came up with 11.75 g/serving. Can you share your math for the 10.5g/serving? Thank you!

      • Thanks so much for your generosity in sharing this recipe. As you can see, we all are hungry for treats that fit our meal plans!!

    • Yes! I sprayed my muffin tin with Pam first and then spooned in the mixture. Put them in the freezer for an hour. Sticking a thin paring knife around the edge and they popped right out! Not sure if the Pam was needed or not but I thought better safe than sorry.

  15. Oh my lord these are amazing! I have been avoiding most fat bombs since they call for sweeteners. I am so excited now to be able to have peanut butter cups again! Thank you so much for this recipe, will definitely be checking out your other recipes and sharing this.

  17. I made the recipe to spec and it tasted like straight cocoa powder. Extremely tart. I could barely taste the almond butter or coconut oil. Are you sure is 1:1:1?

  18. Ok so I started my keto diet this week and I came across this recipe and decided to make a few of these treats last night to help me with my cravings. I have to say these are absolutely delicious, and they are soo easy to make. They are not bitter, they are not sweet, they are just perfect. I decided to use peanut butter but will definitely try them with almond butter. thanks so much for posting this recipe!

  20. Great alternative to the Atkins products I’ve been using as treats. Cheaper, better and less carbs. I swear those Atkins bars stall my weight loss, but some evenings I need something.

  21. So a single serve is one and half tbsp and yet only half a tbsp is added to the 32 portion batch. That is one third of the single serve but there doesn’t seem any separation of nutritional information between the single and 32 serve options. Why is that..?

    Reply

    • There are many free nutritional calculators available online where you can plug in the ingredients and quantities of any recipe you want.

      Reply

      • I think the issue is the instructions. All it says is to my The coconut oil and add the cacao. Then you take half a tbsp and put in each of the muffin tins. What about the almond butter? Do you cover with more of the chocolate??

        Reply

  22. So easy to make! However 1 cup of each ingredient gave me way more than 1/2 tablespoon in my 32 mini paper cups! I ended up doublin them up so I had 1 tablespoon per cup.

    Reply

    • I’ll need more details. My guess would be that you didn’t whisk up the cocoa enough or even the almond butter. I sometimes mash it down with a spoon if that makes sense. Hope you enjoy it!

  24. Quick question. I don’t like the taste of coconut oil, but I love how simple this is. Can I substitute butter? If so, should I use salted or unsalted? TIA!

    Reply

    • Sure, you can sub butter. I would use unsalted. Just keep in mind the nutritional values will be different. I’m sure it will be yummy!

  25. My husband and I are doing a low carb diet and I found your recipe on Pinterest, and decided to give it a try. Wow! These were amazing! They hit the spot and were so easy to make. I used my reusable silicone cupcake cups and froze them. So yummy! Thanks for the recipe!

  26. Are the fat bombs supposed to be really thin and flat? Or is my muffin tin too big? I noticed in your picture that your fat bombs are thicker than mine

    Reply

      • Haven’t tried them yet because I’m still confused by the 32 servings direction to put 1/2 Tbsp in the muffin cup. Shouldn’t it be 1 1/2 Tbsps as with the single serve? Perhaps that is why Alison’s came out so thin??

        Reply

  27. This is the only keto fat bomb dessert recipe that I could find that didn’t have any sweeteners at all. Even artificial sweeteners seem to spike my insulin and lead to intense cravings, hunger, and overeating later. I love these even though they aren’t sweet! They taste mostly of peanut butter to me but have the mouth-feel of chocolate. Bonus: I bring one in the morning and dissolve it in my coffee, it’s DELICIOUS! Thanks for the great recipe!

  30. Thank you, Erika. This is delicious and so easy! I don’t like sweet things but love chocolate and have been craving almond butter cups. This is easier than layering but still has the taste I was craving. I also like that you offered the sampler size idea. It’s nice to try a recipe to make sure you like it before using up a lot of ingredients. Even my hubby who isn’t as into non-sweet as I am enjoyed this.

  33. Hi! I am assuming that when you say one cup melted Coconut oil you’re taking one cup of solid coconut oil and melting it? Please clarify this for me. Very excited to try these.

  36. Thanks for the great recipe! I’m sensitive to artificial sweeteners and appreciate that none were needed. Delicious and satisfying with just enough sweetness! I’ll definitely be making them again.

  37. My husband, who is on the Keto diet, was quite happy to try these out when I made them for him. He loves them! This recipe is a keeper and will be made again.
    I’d like to note that these make just over 32 – 1Tbls size servings, not 32 – 1/2Tbls size servings as stated in the instructions. 1 cup = 16 Tbls and this recipe makes a little over 2 cups.

    • I’m so glad to hear he loves these, Amanda. Thanks for letting me know. And also thanks for the reminder to update the quantity/serving size. I will do that now! 🙂

  38. I find that peanut butter has almost the exact nutritional value as almond butter. Can this recipe use peanut butter as well?

    Reply

  39. Hi there, I just finished making this recipe and I find the cocao powder quite overpoweringly bitter. Do you have any suggestions to add some non-sugar sweetness to it (stevia or xylitol)?

    Reply

    • Hi Linda, the non-sugar aspect can take some getting used to particularly if you are imagining a peanut butter cup type treat! Yes, you can add some stevia or whatever you non-sugar sweetener you prefer. 🙂

  43. Love this! I added some sea salt flakes on top for some crunch and flavour enhancement. I don’t like using highly processed sweeteners even if they are natural and low carb.

  46. Thanks for the recipe. I’m new to Keto and loving no sugar, so I’m wanting keep artificial sugars out of the mixture as well. Any thoughts on how to calculate that without any sweetener and my tin made 24 cups, so they are slightly larger than yours. Don’t want to miscalculate. 🤗

    • Hi Angela, this recipe contains no sweeteners. I mentioned stevia as an option since I had some requests for that. It’s completely optional and the nutrition is calculated without any stevia.
