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.

Delicious!
So, we substitute the ghee (or butter) with fat from bone broth, correct? What can we substitute for coconut butter?
Yes, but the ghee or butter is what gives that butter pecan flavor. The fat from bone broth might give it a meaty flavor which might be off-putting for a dessert flavored recipe. If you want to substitute the coconut butter, you can just use the same amount of coconut oil, but make sure to keep it in the fridge or freezer because that’ll make the fat bomb melt quickly at room temperature.
Thank you! Since this recipe and another fat bomb recipe were linked in your How to Save the Fat from Bone Broth post comments, I thought this was a way to use bone broth fat.
What mold are you using for these?
This is the one I used: https://amzn.to/2DaYg2R
Has anyone tried it without coconut butter?
I need to lose weight and I heard your recipes will work
I just made these!! Ding a keto reset to get my weight and metabolism going in the right direction again…so having something like this to grab as a snack is SO helpful!!
I opted to brown my butter first, and toasted my pecans. They are SO good, and EXACTLY what I needed!!! I used regular ole collagen, two scoops. Maybe above reader used gelatin instead?
Thanks Jean!!
That’s awesome! So glad you liked it. 🙂 I love that you are trying out some of my recipes!!
I just made these for the first time and i tried adding in the collagen. It clumped up! Then stayed at the bottom when i poured into the molds. What did i do wrong?!? They’re freezing so we will see what comes out
What brand of collagen are you using? It should dissolve right away, especially when you stir it into a warm or hot liquid. I would try using a different brand or running the whole mixture in a blender.
Mine did the same thing. I’ve used my collagen in hot beverages, elixirs and baking so many times and never had that happen. It’s just an oily mess with bizarre clumps all throughout.
I think for some reason it’s the coconut butter that’s separating. Blender didn’t work. Reheating didn’t work. Very interesting.
So strange! So sorry that happened. Coconut butter should just liquify when it’s warmed up, and collagen (not gelatin) should dissolve well in cold or hot liquids. May I ask what brand of collagen you are using?
Yay! Hope he likes these!
Thanks so much! They really are so easy and so tasty!
What can I sub for the coconut butter since I cant find it anywhere n want to make these like yesterday lol plz help?
You can try with extra coconut oil, but it won’t give you that creaminess of coconut butter. Have you tried looking for it online? I order mine from Amazon: http://amzn.to/2uRVWai
You may want to look for “coconut manna”
These look great and I LOVE butter pecan everything lol
Thanks, Michala! It’s one of my favorites flavors too. 🙂
