🧾 Ingredients Used
- Almond flour: Almond flour is my go-to because it’s low in carbs and high in healthy fats.
- Peanut butter: Use your favorite brand of creamy peanut butter, not crunchy.
- Sweetener: I use powdered erythritol, but you can also use powdered monk fruit sweetener.
- Softened butter: Make sure the butter is softened before you mix the ingredients so that it mixes well into the smooth peanut butter.
- Salt: Just a little bit of salt counters the peanut butter. You can adjust the amount to suit your taste preference.
- Vanilla extract: Adding a bit of vanilla will help give these keto peanut butter fat bombs some extra flavor.
