How to Make Keto Cinnamon Roll Fat Bombs

For this cinnamon roll fat bombs recipe, you’ll need coconut oil, soft butter, two teaspoons cinnamon, ginger powder, and nutmeg. Add in a dash of vanilla extract, Monkfruit sweetener, and a pinch of salt to help balance the sweetness of the fat bombs. 

Factoring in both prep and chill times, this recipe requires a total of 2 hours and 5 minutes before it’s ready to serve.

To start, melt and combine half-cup butter and oil in a food processor or small bowl. Add all the powders and salt, and whisk until well combined. Scoop and portion out the mixture into your molds or trays, and place in the refrigerator or freezer to chill until firm, for about 2 hours. 

Once they’re solid, remove the bombs from the molds and store them in airtight containers in the freezer until you’re craving a treat.

Ingredients You Need

This no-fuss cinnamon fat bomb recipe is super easy to put together and tastes divine. No baking needed! Make sure to have the following ingredients ready:

• Salt
• Ground cinnamon: The key ingredient that gives these fat bombs that warm and sweet cinnamon flavor.
• Coconut oil: This low-carb, high-fat alternative to olive oil helps the mixture hold its shape while providing a creamy texture when chilled.
• Almond butter: Helps create a smooth consistency, with a rich nutty flavor that enhances the fat bombs’ overall taste.
• Powdered sugar substitute: This and virtually all of my other keto dessert recipes come with Monkfruit sweetener with erythritol, a great sugar substitute that won’t spike your blood sugar. (1)
• Ginger powder: Adds an extra layer of warm and spicy flavor that complements the sweetness of cinnamon.
• Vanilla extract: Brings a uniquely aromatic flavor, creating more depth to the taste of the mixture.  
• Ground nutmeg: For a more complex, nuanced taste that mimics the flavor profile of classic cinnamon rolls.

Variations and Substitutions

Don’t like the taste of almonds? Swap out almond butter for rich and creamy nut butter alternatives like macadamia, walnut, or pecan. For a nut-free substitution, replace almond butter with seed butter made from sunflower seeds.

If powdered Monkfruit isn’t your ideal sweetener, go for other options like homemade liquid stevia. Sweetness levels may vary, so feel free to adjust according to taste.

Storage Tips

Below are best practices for storing leftover cinnamon roll fat bombs:

• Store: Place fat bombs in airtight containers in the refrigerator or freezer to maintain freshness. They’ll keep well for up to a week in the fridge or longer in the freezer. Frozen fat bombs can last up to two months.
• Control portions: Portion fat bombs in different containers to make it easier to grab a single serving when you’re craving a snack. This prevents overeating while making sure that the fat bombs last longer.
• Thaw: When ready to enjoy, thaw in the fridge for one to two hours. Do not thaw in the microwave; this can cause fat bombs to melt.

What to Serve with Cinnamon Roll Fat Bombs

While they’re often enjoyed as standalone treats, these cinnamon roll fat bombs pair well with a wide variety of complementary foods. They go well with my coffee or a cup of Tibetan butter tea. Below are more ways to incorporate these delicious treats into your meals and snacks:

• Breakfast: Enjoy bite-sized portions alongside eggs, bacon, avocado, or a keto smoothie for a well-balanced and flavorful morning meal.
