As I mentioned in my previous post, Keto Fat Bombs and Our Family Business, after hundreds of recipe attempts I developed three paleo and keto friendly fat bomb recipes that I loved and wanted to share. This post is all about Almond Butter Buckeyes.

Almond Butter Buckeyes are a keto/low carb and paleo-friendly version of the traditional buckeye. For my friends who are not from Ohio, where these treats originated from, a buckeye is traditionally made with peanut butter mixed with a ton of powdered sugar (3 to 4 cups), butter, vanilla, and salt. They are then dipped in chocolate to look like a buckeye

  • Immune system support
  • Prebiotic dietary fiber
  • Anti-inflammatory polyphenols

Coconut

I love using coconut in my recipes. Coconut is pretty amazing! It is classified as a “functional food” because it provides many health benefits beyond its nutritional content. Pacific Islanders consider coconut oil to be the cure for all illness. The coconut palm is so highly valued by them as both a source of food and medicine that it is called “The Tree of Life.”

Most people know about coconut oil and shredded coconut, but some of you may not be as familiar with coconut butter. Coconut butter is made from the meat of a coconut. It is flaked and conveyed through a hot dryer and is then ground like a nut butter. We used Nutiva Organic Coconut Manna in our recipes. I found that it has the best consistency for fat bombs and it is made with fresh organic coconut meat that is not pasteurized or refined.

Almonds

I chose to use almonds in this recipe instead of the traditional peanut butter due to the health benefits of almonds. Almonds are high in healthy monounsaturated fats, fiber, protein and various important nutrients. They are high in antioxidants that can protect your cells from oxidative damage.  Almonds are also extremely high in magnesium, a mineral that many people don’t get enough of.  Check out Dr. Axe’s post for more information about almonds and their benefits. For my recipes I use dry roasted almonds from Treehouse Almonds. They are a great farm-to-table source for almond products. 

Vitafiber IMO

VitaFiber IMO (isomaltooligosaccharide) is a natural, organic, plant-based prebiotic fiber sweetener. It is minimally processed and free of sugar, gluten, allergens, artificial colors and flavors, and preservatives. VitaFiber IMO is made from the root of tapioca, or cassava, plant. It is rich in dietary fiber, which can help support healthy weight management by promoting feelings of satiety or fullness. It also provides a good source of prebiotics to assist in healthy gut function.

We chose to use Vitafiber IMO due it’s health benefits. Many people, especially those following a ketogenic diet, lack fiber and prebiotics from plants in their diet. This is a healthy and tasty way to incorporate more fiber and prebiotics into your diet. Vitafiber also has a unique syrupy, sticky texture that gives our fat bombs a chewy texture. You can learn more about Vitafiber IMO’s health benefits and find more recipes here.  You can also purchase it here.

So, gather your ingredients and give this recipe a try!
