These Paleo Butter Pecan Keto Fat Bombs are a delicious snack filled with healthy fats and they are guaranteed to kill your sugar cravings!
New favorite snack alert! Since you guys have been loving my Chocolate Almond Butter Collagen Fat Bombs, I’m so excited to share another delicious fat bomb recipe with a flavor combo that I just can’t get enough of.
Paleo Butter Pecan Keto Fat Bombs Recipe
I’ve been loving these Butter Pecan Keto Fat Bombs so much in between meals to hold me over on busy weekdays ever since making them. I’m definitely not keto, but I do tend to do better on a lower carb diet. So when choosing my snacks, I like to keep them low in sugar and high in healthy fats to keep me satiated until the next meal. These fat bombs do just that while killing any sugar cravings that I may have.
You can use either butter or ghee for this recipes, but I do love the extra toasty and nutty flavor and smell of ghee so I highly recommend you use the latter. Also, many people who have a sensitivity to the lactose in butter usually find that they can tolerate ghee much better. If you want to make it at home, you can find my recipe here. It’s so nutritious and yummy, and make an excellent high heat cooking oil.
Grass Fed Collagen
I also like to add in collagen whenever I can for that extra boost in nutrients. I just love Perfect Supplements‘ Hydrolyzed Collagen and it’s been working really well for me in my gut healing, as well as my hair, skin, and nail health.

I hope you enjoy these Paleo Butter Pecan Keto Fat Bombs as much as I have been. They remind me of my childhood summers when I use to steal a bite out of my dad’s favorite ice cream flavor, and it just makes me so happy. They are also a breeze to make so you have no excuse the next time you get hangry or those sugar cravings hit!
Paleo Butter Pecan Keto Fat Bombs
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup pecans
- 1/4 cup coconut butter
- 1/4 cup ghee, or butter
- 1/4 cup coconut oil
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/8 tsp sea salt
- Optional: sweetener of your choice, I added about 7-8 drops of stevia. Omit if you are on a sugar detox.
- Optional: 2 tbsp grass-fed collagen, Use code GREATGRANDMA10 for 10% off your entire order
Instructions
- Heat a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the pecans and toast them while constantly stirring. Transfer to a dish when the pecans are darker and smell toasty. They'll toast even more while cooling.
- Roughly chop the pecans. I like to leave them in larger chunks.
- In a small saucepan, combine coconut butter, ghee (or butter), and coconut oil and heat over low heat until melted.
- Stir in vanilla extract and sea salt, as well as a sweetener and/or grass-fed collagen, if using.
- Divide the chopped pecans into a silicon mold of your choice. I filled them into 12 mini cubes (I used these).
- Pour the heated butter and coconut mixture over the pecans, dividing it evenly.
- Freeze for at least 30 minutes until the fat bombs harden.
- If you don't have a silicon mold, you can pour the mixture in a small container, freeze, then cut into bite-sized squares.
- Store in the freezer or the refrigerator.

Absolutely FANTASTIC Jean~ the sweetener/sugar isn’t even missed! I’ve been freezing browned butter for when I have a sweet craving, but sometimes I just want something a bit more interesting. These are perfect, in every way~ Thanks so much for sharing!
Amazing!! So happy to hear that!
Delicious!
I used salted butter in lieu of the coconut butter (also added a pinch of actual salt). Thank you for the tip about keeping these in the fridge or freezer if making this substitution. Also used a tiny bit of pure stevia powder. Next time I will try browning the butter as another reviewer suggested as I think it will deepen the flavor. One of these is plenty satisfying. Thank you for the recipe!
What other sugars substitute can you use??
How do you keep it from separating? I think my first batch is going to be a big flop but it is in the fridge.
It shouldn’t separate. Sometimes, cheaper brands of coconut butter doesn’t melt properly, so you might want to try another brand.
Do these have a strong coconut flavor too with all the coconut butter and oil? I am not a fan of strong coconut flavor.
I personally don’t think so but I love coconut so I just may not taste it as much. You can replace with butter if you’d like.
These butter pecan keto fat bombs are very decadent, and the people in my office are happy today! Thanks, Jean
To die for! I added the grass fed collagen and used grass fed butter instead of ghee but I was making dinner and didn’t realize until I was done I had accidentally added extra SALTED butter so mine have a prominent salt flavor, not too much, but definitely know it later there. I need a bit more salt in my diet so that’s okay.
Does the nutrition breakdown include the collagen?
No, I usually don’t add it in for optional ingredients.
