Ingredients

For the Bread:

  • 6 eggs
  • 9 tablespoons melted butter
  • 3/4 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons sour cream
  • 2/3 cup granulated Swerve can reduce to make the bread less sweet if desired
  •  tsp vanilla
  • 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
  • 10 tablespoons coconut flour
  • ½ tsp salt
  •  tsp baking powder

For the Icing:

  • 2 tablespoons powdered Swerve
  • 1 teaspoon butter melted
  • 1 tbsp heavy whipping cream
  • dash of vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp lemon zest

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees and line a regular loaf pan with parchment paper.

  • Melt butter.

  • Beat eggs, swerve, sour cream, heavy whipping cream, vanilla, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon until combined.

  • Add the melted butter to the mixture and beat again until combined.

  • Stir in the coconut flour until thoroughly combined.

  • This part of the instructions has been updated. To keep the blueberries from sinking to the bottom of the pan, spoon a small amount of batter in the loaf pan, then sprinkle a couple of blueberries on top. Continue layering batter then blueberries a couple of times ending with batter on top. This will keep the blueberries spread out and they will not sink to the bottom of the pan. 

  • Bake for 65-75 minutes or until knife inserted in center of bread comes out clean.

  • Allow bread to cool for 5 minutes.

  • For the Icing:

  • Combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth. Can add more heavy whipping cream if needed.

  • Drizzle over warm bread.

Keto Fat Bombs Information

Here are a few facts about ketogenic fat bombs to help you understand them better:

1. Keto fat bombs are often small

It’s tough to eat too much of these as they are so high in fat, so they take the shape of small balls or mini muffins. Our favorite way of making them is in muffin pan with liner. That way you don’t get your hands dirty when you make the mixture and they’re super easy (and not messy) to take with you to eat on your way to work or to the gym.

2. Fat bombs can be savory or sweet

The majority of the fat bomb recipes tend to be sweet-ish (sweetened with sweeteners like stevia). This is because stevia is a low calorie (and zero-carb) sweetener that also doesn’t cause stomach problems for people unlike many sugar alcohols that are used in low-carb treats. If, however, you dislike using stevia (we know many people dislike the taste of stevia), then feel free to use your own low-carb sweetener of choice when making sweet ketogenic fat bombs. There are also some savory fat bombs (e.g., made with bacon or avocado). Read why Swerve may be a good option.

3. Fat bombs contain lots of healthy fats

As I mentioned earlier, fat bombs contain lots of fat, but on a ketogenic diet (just like on a Paleo diet), eating healthy fats is highly important to lower inflammation in your body. So, most keto fat bombs contain coconut oil or coconut butter as an ingredient. This is also useful from a recipe perspective as coconut oil solidifies when refrigerated thereby making these fat bombs a lot less messy to eat.

4. Fat bombs should be stored in the refrigerator

As I mentioned above, fat bombs contain lots of fat, which is often liquid at room temperature, so make sure to store these delicious treats in the fridge when you’re not eating them. They’ll often last 1-2 weeks in the fridge in an airtight container. You can also freeze them, although it’s best to thaw them a bit before serving as they can get pretty solid.

5. Fat bombs often also contain nuts and seeds

We suggest you try not to consume too much nuts and seeds on a ketogenic diet since the fats in nuts and seeds can become easily oxidized if the recipe requires them to be heated (more about that here) and some nuts and seeds are actually quite high in carbs (check out our table of carb content for nuts and seeds here). Just a quick note about peanuts while we’re on the subject of nuts – peanuts are not nuts so almond butter is used instead of peanut butter in ketogenic recipes (find out more about why peanut butter isn’t ketogenic here).

What Are Ketogenic Fat Bombs, How To Make Keto Fat Bombs in 3 Easy Steps (PLUS 12 Delicious Ketogenic Fat Bomb Recipes) https://ketosummit.com/what-are-keto-fat-bombs-recipes-how-to-make #keto #recipes #fatbombs

There are 3 basic ingredients to every fat bomb recipe:

1. Healthy Fats

For Example: cacao butter, coconut butter, almond butter, coconut oil, coconut milk, coconut cream (solid part of a refrigerated can of coconut milk), ghee (mostly lactose and casein free, especially if you get cultured ghee, so it doesn’t present the same problems as other dairy products), butter (ok if you’re not sensitive to dairy), bacon fat, avocado oil

2. Flavoring

For Example: sugar-free vanilla extract, 100% dark chocolate, cacao powder, salt, peppermint extract, spices, Keto sugars (like erythritol, Swerve, stevia, Truvia)

3. Texture

For Example: cacao nibs, almonds, pecans, walnuts, chia seeds, bacon bits (choose sugar-free)[amazon asin=https://amzn.to/2MZJRJ1&template=add to cart]

Ingredients

  • 2 large , ripe bananas
  • 1 3/4 cups quick oats*

Optional Add-in Ingredients:

  • 4 tablespoons peanut flour or any nut butter
  • 1/4 cup chocolate Chips (I use semi-sweet,dark or miniature)
  • 1-2 teaspoons honey (adjust to your taste preference)
  • 1/4 cup cacao nibs
  • 1/4 cup Nutella or any hazelnut spread
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter chips
  • 1/3 cup crushed nuts of choice (pecans, peanuts, almonds, walnuts, etc)
  • 1/3 cup dried fruit (think cranberries, raisins, sultanas, chopped dates)
  • 1-2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract (adjust to your taste preferences)
  • 1/4 cup shredded coconut
  • **Measurements are based on what I have tried with these cookies in the past. Feel free to add more/less to your preference

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 175°C | 350°F.
  2. Mash bananas in a shallow bowl. Add in the oats and mix well to combine. Fold in any optional add-ins you like (I added 4 level tablespoons of peanut flour, 1/4 cup chocolate chips and 2 teaspoons of honey into these).
  3. Line baking tray/sheet with baking/parchment paper and drop one tablespoon of cookie dough per cookie onto tray. Press down with the back of a metal spoon and shape into cookies (these will not spread into shape like normal cookies). Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on your oven, or until cookies are lightly golden on top and just set to the touch. (Keep an eye on them after 10 minutes, as they can bake faster depending on how hot your oven is before baking.)
  4. Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.

Whenever, poem by MwsR

Help to make my reminiscing all mine

It calms my soul for just a while in time

It displays out in my actions and on my face

Oh, how to make it out of this place!

Neither space nor time can give comfort to this heart of mine.

I have been prisoner here, for a very long time.

I have wrestled things I never thought I would

I guess often than not I really did not handle it the way I should.

But whenever a person deals with their pain

Things of this nature often remain

They will hold on and squeeze whenever they choose

Often, when that happens, they are in it for you to lose.

So, come along, take the ride

That others often find themselves beholding to

You will experience things that make you blue

Seizing what you can with the little you have

Making memories that are built to last.

Memories that comfort not repulse us.

Stuff like this can never be made up.

It is real and so invading

Clouding forever our state of peace

Whenever it comes, that is when we stop and release.

MwsR ❤

Poem

LOVE, Life,YOU

by MwsR ❤

Like wisps of perfumed air that encircles my head

Your love brings a newness and freshness to my life

You are both my sanity and my fascination

Life revolves with you in it

Without you in it, it comes to a screeching holt

As spring gets here, it reminds me of you

Something is always new for me to look at.

Your ways, your conversations, your love

It all comes without any stipulations,

But with a permanent guarantee

This beautiful life with you, loving me.
