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

I made some almond butter because I only had almonds. I always make my on peanut butter so I figured it would be pretty much the same. I don’t dislike the fudge but not really impressed.
One thing I am curious about is your jar of Almond Butter is labeled as chunky a definitely looks ‘grainy’ but your fudge looks so smooth and uniform in color.
I really am not an almond person some will try this with peanut or cashew butter. Because your photo is freaking awesome!
Are you able to use any other oil in this recipe, as I’m not a fan of coconut oil. I have rapeseed oil, would that be alright to use?
Thanks 🙂
The coconut oil works well because it does’nt get super hard when it solidifies. It’s still creamy when you bite into it but it allows the fudge to firm up. I’m not sure if another oil will work because they don’t all have this same effect.
Thanks for your reply Rebecca. I used rapeseed oil, and it worked out quite well. They went quite fudgy, and had a really nice texture, even though I used a crunchy nut butter. Took a few to my Dad’s, and he loved them 🙂
Wanted to make healthy fudge i didnt mind letting my toddler eat & this was perfect!! I opted to not add any sugar since the almond butter i used had sugar in it. They came out so cute using the little candy molds and are so delicious. Thank you for clean eating recipes, because holiday treats don’t need to be dirty! Health is wealth!
Forgot to add picture with my early comment!

Made this to help me get through finals! I added some all spice to change it uo a little. Its so good!!! Once again your recipes are amazing!!
Hey. How do you get the fudge to have a such a smooth texture? I made a batch and it didn’t nearly look as good/smooth as the photo 🙁 Thanks
What do you think of refined Coconut oil in this?
I think it would be fine!
The format was so perfect that it pays to eat, it is impossible not to taste this deliciousness.
Can MCT oil be used as a replacement to regular coconut oil?
this sounds like such a quick and easy way to satisfy a sweet tooth and get some extra protein! 🙂
I’m not sure what that is, but edible experiments are always fun! Be sure to report back if you try!

HI,
This is the first site where I actually want to print just about every recipe! I operate a home daycare and am always looking for easy recipes that are easy to serve/not messy healthy snacks and treats for the kiddos.
I don’t like coconut oil. Would canola oil suffice??
Thank you.

Unfortunately not, because it doesn’t harden when chilled. So maybe try just more almond butter?
