What Are Fat Bombs?

Fat bombs are small, energy-dense bites made primarily with healthy fats like nut butters, coconut oil, and sometimes cream cheese. Originally popularized in ketogenic diets, fat bombs can be adapted to fit Weight Watchers by reducing sugar, using low-point ingredients, and keeping the portions small.

These cookie dough fat bombs skip the sugar and opt for low-calorie sweeteners, making them ideal for WW. The result? A creamy, rich dessert bite that tastes indulgent but is designed to keep you on track.

Ingredients (Makes 12 Fat Bombs)

  • 1/2 cup almond flour (0 SmartPoints)
  • 1/4 cup natural peanut butter or almond butter (unsweetened, smooth) – about 6 SmartPoints
  • 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened – 2 SmartPoints
  • 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted – 4 SmartPoints
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract – 0 SmartPoints
  • 2–3 tbsp powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener (adjust to taste) – 0 SmartPoints
  • Pinch of sea salt – optional
  • 2 tbsp mini dark chocolate chips (use Lily’s Sugar-Free or similar) – 1–2 SmartPoints

Equipment You’ll Need

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Rubber spatula or spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small cookie scoop or tablespoon
  • Baking sheet or plate
  • Parchment paper

Instructions

Step 1: Soften and Mix Wet Ingredients

Start by adding your cream cheese, coconut oil, and nut butter into a mixing bowl. Make sure the cream cheese is softened and the coconut oil is melted. Stir until fully combined and smooth. This base mixture will hold the fat bombs together and provide the creamy texture that mimics raw cookie dough.

Step 2: Add Flavor and Sweetener

Stir in the vanilla extract, a pinch of salt (optional, but enhances flavor), and your powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener. Mix thoroughly. Taste the mixture at this point—sweetness preferences vary, and you can add more sweetener if desired.

Step 3: Fold in Almond Flour

Gently fold in the almond flour a little at a time. This helps the mixture firm up and gives it the cookie dough consistency. If it’s too soft, add an extra tablespoon of almond flour. If it’s too dry, a touch more nut butter can bring it back.

Step 4: Add Chocolate Chips

Fold in your chocolate chips last. Lily’s or another sugar-free mini chocolate chip brand is recommended to keep SmartPoints low while still getting the indulgent chocolatey bites.

Step 5: Shape and Chill

Line a plate or baking tray with parchment paper. Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon to shape the dough into 12 even balls. Place them on the tray, spaced slightly apart.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or freeze for 15 if you’re in a hurry. Once chilled, the fat bombs will be firm and ready to enjoy.

Storage Instructions

  • Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Defrost at room temperature or eat frozen for a firmer bite.

Tips for Success

  1. Use Natural Nut Butters: Choose unsweetened, natural peanut or almond butter. Many commercial versions contain added sugar or hydrogenated oils, which will raise the SmartPoints and reduce health benefits.
  2. Customize the Flavor: Add a touch of cinnamon, espresso powder, or a drop of almond extract for a twist on the classic cookie dough flavor.
  3. Control the Sweetness: Always taste your mixture before shaping. Sweetness is subjective, and some people prefer a slightly less sweet fat bomb.
  4. Make it Dairy-Free: Swap the cream cheese for a dairy-free version or use additional nut butter for a creamier consistency without lactose.

FAQs

Can I Use Other Flours Instead of Almond Flour?

Coconut flour is not recommended as a direct substitute because it absorbs more liquid and will make the dough crumbly. Stick to almond flour for the best texture and low point value.

Are These Keto-Friendly Too?

Yes! These fat bombs are low in net carbs and high in fat, so they’re keto-compliant as well as WW-friendly.

How Many Can I Eat on WW?

Each fat bomb is 2–3 SmartPoints. As with any treat, moderation is key. One or two per day can fit easily into your daily budget without sabotaging your goals.

Creative Variations

  • Chocolate Cookie Dough: Add 1 tsp of cocoa powder to the base for a chocolate twist.
  • Crunchy Version: Add a few crushed nuts for texture (be sure to adjust SmartPoints).
  • Protein Boost: Add 1 scoop of WW-friendly protein powder and slightly reduce the almond flour.
