Lovely, Lively LEMON!
This my friends is one of my FAVORITE fat bombs for its bright and zingy flavor!
With the use of organic lemon juice and essential oils, this is by far the tastiest and happiest of snacks!
If you are new to the KETO world, fat is your friend and FAT BOMBS are your besties!!
When you are focusing 70% of your calories coming from FAT, it can often be hard to reach those numbers. Thus, meet your new sweet treat! Fat bombs are so easy to make and stay in the freezer for weeks (if they even last that long!!) You can go from fruity to chocolaty; savory and sweet! Most have some inclusion of coconut oil, grassfed butter and cream cheese.
Mmmmm. Cream cheese!
For these fat bombs you can use a handheld mixer OR a KitchenAid!
I just got my beautiful KitchenAid for my birthday and I’m in LOVE!
This recipe is a great base for MANY different fruit or essential oil combos that you can try. I LOOOOOVE a ton of flavor, so make sure to have fun and play around with your ingredients. I always see recipes as a structure meant to be explored 😉 It can often get me into trouble with baking though!
Throw me a shoutout and let me know how much you LOOOOOOVE these babies!

Now these I am going to try. What kind of liquid Stevia are you using, they are not all alike. I gave up the packaged Stevia months ago when I started this new life style change. I would have it in my coffee, then I went off of it cold turkey. If you dont all this to the recipe, what happens? Does it change the recipe? Like all recipes, trial and error in the beginning LOL.
Oh and by the way, I use oils all the time. My favoriate is Lavender. It is a great destresser. I have a bottle by my comptuer and one by my bed.
Thank you for taking the time to post this recipe. Can you do one with chocolate? Leslie in Roanoke, VA
Do you know the macro breakdown on this?
Thank you for reminding me of this Theresa! I will have to go find where I placed that <3 It will be posted SOON!
Ok I made this recipe, but I only had pure Almond extract. I crushed macadamial nuts and lined the mini muffin cups and dropped 1/2 tablespoon in each one and put in the freezer.. I did not use a sweetner. I have some concerns though, I have not had any fruit of any kind, I gave up the lemons I was taking first thing in the am. How does the lemon in this recipe affect the ketosis?
You must have a gift in baking! That sounds delish! Lemon is so low in carbs, the small amount required should be fine. Also, the benefit of Lemon Essential Oil is that you get the myriad of health benefits, super yummy flavor and NO CARBS!!!
Ok, these were dangerous indeed. I ate quite a bit. then brought only 6 to a neighbor for her to try. I don’t bake much anymore becasue I eat what I bake and bake what I like. BUt I would like to try this recipe, cream chese, and butter, then use unsweetened cocoa and some chocolate extract. Roll them into balls, and either roll them in crushed nuts or include the crushed nuts in the recipe. It sounds to good, afraid I will eat them all.
hi. last instruction says: stor in airtight container. should the container be in the fridge or could be left out in room temperature? thanks.
Due to the nature of the ingredients, its best stored in the freezer or fridge! Otherwise it will melt!
Is the essential oil LEMON essential oil? The recipe just says essential oil.
Yes! Lemon essential oil :). But if you don’t have one safe enough to take internally you could sub lemon juice
These are bomb! I’ve been struggling with sugar cravings and these kicked it! Would be delicious with a raspberry flavor 😍
AWESOME!
How many carbs per bomb? I have to use lemon juice and i will use splenda instead of swerve i do have powdered stevia but it has a horrible after taste.
Roughly 1 carb per bomb!
I plugged all ingredients, less the essential oil and did 10 drops stevia, into Carb Manager recipe area.
If you put into two 12 count candy molds (24 bombs total)
