Ingredients

Directions

1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the almond flour, melted coconut oil, peanut butter, almond milk, sweetener, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt.

2. Stir the mixture until smooth and well combined.

3. If using, fold in the sugar-free chocolate chips.

6. Once firm, transfer the fat bombs to an airtight container and store them in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
