Clean Eating & Low Carb Almond Butter Fat Bombs – no-bake, vegan, gluten-free, keto, and sugar-free options!
A lot has changed in the almost-three years since I first mentioned the recipe.
I’ve moved to a new state, made new friends, started and ended relationships, published a cookbook…
And yet, after all these years, I am still obsessed with this impossible-to-stop-eating almond butter fudge.
Oftentimes, I will just mix everything up right in the almond butter jar and completely skip the step of cutting it into fudge.
I’ve always been a taste-while-you-cook type of girl.

The raw fudge recipe is similar to my recipe for Healthy Peanut Butter Fudge, but banana haters will be thrilled to know that THIS ONE DOES NOT CALL FOR BANANA!
Nope, no banana whatsoever.
Of course you can use peanut butter, cashew butter, Sunbutter for allergy-friendly fudge, or another nut butter if you prefer.
PB&Co Dark Chocolate Dreams chocolate fudge??? Not sure how anyone could say no to that.
I’ve always wanted to try pistachio butter and only wish it weren’t so expensive. I bet it would be wonderful in this recipe.
But almond butter is still my #1 favorite for this clean eating and keto fudge recipe, perhaps due to the memories it brings back of my life in Texas when I first came up with the combination and would polish off a third of a jar each morning before anyone else had woken.
*I first wrote about this fudge in my post on Why I Gave Up Running.
Just try this fudge, and see if you have better luck with portion control than I do!

Almond Butter Fat Bombs
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup almond butter OR allergy-friendly alternative
- 2 1/2 tbsp virgin coconut oil or coconut butter
- optional 2 1/2 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice*
- optional: a few drops maple extract
Instructions
- *To sweeten, you can use maple syrup, agave, honey (non-vegan), stevia drops, etc. I actually really like this without any sweetener at all, and if you’re the kind of person who eats peanut butter from the jar, you might also like it unsweetened.Be sure that you like the taste of whatever coconut oil you are using. My favorite brand is Whole Foods 365 Organic Virgin Coconut Oil; I’ve found some other brands to have a smoky flavor I’d rather not add to a dessert. To Make: Combine the almond butter and coconut oil or coconut butter, and gently warm until the nut butter is easily stir-able and the coconut oil is liquid. Stir in the sweetener if desired, then spoon into a plastic container or candy molds. Freeze a few hours until solid, and store leftovers in the freezer.View Nutrition Facts

This looks AMAZING. I am definitely going to make this one!
Hi! I usually use the almond butter in the photo, Trader Joes 🙂
You can use your favorite nut butter – I’ve done peanut butter, almond butter, cashew butter, sunflower butter, chocolate hazelnut butter, chocolate peanut butter…
The texture!! It looks so smooth and creamy! 😀
These look delicious, Katie 🙂
I think it would be nice to make a batch of these and bring one for lunch to help curb my sweet tooth!
Just wondering if you think it would be possible to make a chocolate variety of this with cocoa? I understand there are plenty of chocolate nut butter fudges around, but this one really appeals to me because of the short list of ingredients 😉
Thanks for posting!
Because of the coconut oil, I’d recommend keeping them in the fridge or freezer unless you are taking them outside on a very cold day.
Yeah, I could see when I had a taste of a piece last night that they get melty real fast. So delicious though! I’m scared I’m going to polish of the whole batch myself in a day or two XD Only thing stopping me is that, for me, almond butter and coconut oil are kind of pricey so I know if I eat it all I can’t justify buying more of the ingredients haha 🙂
So good! Really recommend 🙂 I did end up adding about 1 1/2 tbsp cocoa to mine as an experiment and it turned out fine. Thanks for the recipe!
So so so good! Luckily I made a double batch because these won’t last long! I added a teeny bit of salt on top for some sweet & saltiness. I used almond butter but will try these next time with sun butter so my daughter can bring a teeny bit to school for a treat in her lunch.
Agreed on the paleo- friendly recipes!
1 tbsp any nut butter is around 15g.
1 cup=16 tbsp. Therefore, 1/2 cup=8 tbsp. Using the conversion Katie posted, 1/2 cup=8(15)=120 g.
Oh my gosh, I can already see that there will be absolutely no portion control going on in my kitchen 😀 I bet half of this fudge won’t even have time to set (er, continuous quality control is important, right? what if something went wrong in the past 5 minutes of chilling). Thanks for another amazing recipe, I love that you included an oil-free option too 🙂
Yum! These look so delicious and easy to make! I’m definitely pinning this for later!
Looks awesome Katie! Great take from your peanut butter fudge!!
