What are fat bombs?
Chocolate fat bombs are an irresistible dessert, especially for chocoholics like myself. As their name suggests, they are loaded with healthy fats and chocolate while being low in sugar (no added sugar, of course!).
Since fat bombs are all about healthy fats and no sugar, it can be a little tough to get the recipe right when you cut sugar from traditional recipes. Don’t worry because I’ll show you my secrets to making these delicious fat bombs sweet without added sugar.
Chocolate Fat Bombs Ingredients
These delicious chocolate fat bombs with nuts and banana are prepared using the best raw cacao solids (cacao mass and butter), plus extra virgin coconut oil, a selection of raw nuts, raisins and banana.
Here’s what you’ll need to make these chocolate fat bombs at home:
- cacao mass and cacao butter – both add a rich cacao taste but also help to harden these fat bombs and to keep them solid at room temperature.
- extra virgin coconut oil – adds plenty of healthy fats, makes our fat bombs creamy while keeping them solid in the fridge.
- raw nuts – I used walnuts and hazelnuts. They come with plenty of healthy fats, protein, fiber and micronutrients, but they also add crunchiness to the mix.
- banana – they add natural sweetness and a special flavor that balanced all those healthy fats.
- raisins – like bananas, raisins will add a bit of natural sweetness and a special rich flavor that matches the nuts.
- spices – I used cinnamon and vanilla powder. Both of them will add a subtle (but special) flavor that balances the chocolate taste.
How do you make chocolate fat bombs
Just a few ingredients and 10 minutes of your time, after which they go to the fridge for a few hours, until they become solid.
They’re so easy to make and everyone will love them, guaranteed! These are the steps to follow:

- That was it! I’ve told you it’s pretty easy.

Tips for making this recipe perfectly!
- Keep them in the fridge. When done, these fat bombs will end-up having a soft texture, which means that you’ll have to keep them in the fridge most of the time.
- Don’t add too many extras. Keep in mind that adding too much banana will break down the texture of these fat bombs. The same will happen if you add too many nuts or raisins.
- Want to make them a bit more solid? If you want to be able to store these fat bombs outside the fridge for longer, use only half of the coconut oil and replace the other half with cacao mass or cacao butter.
I hope you’ll come to appreciate this homemade chocolate fat bombs with banana and nuts as much as we did! If you make them, I’d so love if you could leave a comment and rate the recipe. Enjoy these fat bombs and stay healthy!
