For the Icing:
2tablespoonspowdered Swerve
1teaspoonbuttermelted
1tbspheavy whipping cream
dash of vanilla
1/4tsplemon 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.
Notes
The sugar alcohols from Swerve are not included in the nutritional information. Information is provided as a courtesy based on the exact ingredients that I used. It is always best to calculate your own macros.
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).
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

cacao nibs
1/4
cup
Nutella or any hazelnut spread
1/4

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
Preheat oven to 175°C | 350°F.
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).
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.)
Remove and allow to cool on a wire rack.
Recipe Notes
*Quick oats give the best results, however you CAN use rolled oats. Use Gluten Free Oats for gluten free cookies. **Storage: Store cookies in an airtight container for two-three days, or freeze the batch and reheat when needed.
