When talking about fat bombs on a keto diet, we often think about all the sweets, such as chocolate and peanut butter. However, today I want to try something different. I want to make keto savory fat bombs with bacon, egg and avocado. These are great snacks, too.
Fat bombs are a great way to get more fat in your diet. This is important when you are in ketosis because dietary fat turns into ketones. You can use these fat bombs in place of your current snack or breakfast when you need to increase your energy levels immediately.
I made two different types of fat bombs. The first one is called Bacon & Egg Fat Bomb and the second one is called Bacon Guacamole Fat Bomb*.
For the bacon and egg fat bombs, as the name suggests, I use bacon, boiled egg, mayonnaise, butter and seasoning. You can use homemade mayonnaise for this.
Check my egg boiling guide to learn more about how long to boil eggs for hard boiled eggs.
For the guacamole fat bombs, I use avocado, bacon, butter, and seasoning.
You should produce 12 fat bombs altogether, 6 pieces of each type. Oven baked crispy bacon and eggs taste best when enjoyed immediately or you can store them in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

How to Make Keto Savory Fat Bombs with Bacon and Eggs and Avocado
While preparing the ingredients, set the oven to preheat at 350°F.
Start by arranging on a baking sheet the bacon slices. For 10 to 15 minutes, bake the bacon until it is brown and crispy. Once cooked, remove it from the oven and transfer the bacon fats leftover, or the so-called bacon grease, into a bowl, then reserve. Once the bacon has sat for a while, chop it into bits.
In a pot with water, put the eggs and allow them to boil. Once ready, remove it from the water and peel off its shells. This time, slice the eggs into thin portions and mash it together with salt, pepper, butter, and mayonnaise. Add half of the bacon grease, mix with the eggs, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
While chilling the egg mixture, start making the Guacamole avocado fat bombs by mashing the avocado. Mix it with butter and add the remaining half of the bacon grease. Add the cilantro, chili, onion, lime juice, and garlic, and mix it all together. Add salt and pepper to taste. For 30 minutes, chill the mixture in the refrigerator.
Once the mixtures have completely set and already firm, take them out from the fridge. Scoop out a spoonful of each mixture and mold them into spheres. Make about 6 balls of the avocado mixture and another 6 balls of the egg mixture.
After that, spread the toasted bacon bits on a plate and coat the balls with it.
Serve the fat bombs on a plate or in paper muffin cups for a more delightful meal. Enjoy!

FAQ
What are keto fat bombs?
Keto fat bombs are small, high-fat, low-carb snacks designed to help those on the ketogenic diet meet their fat intake needs. They’re often made with ingredients like coconut oil, butter, nuts, and low-carb sweeteners. However, savory fat bombs made with animal based ingredients are also popular.
How many fat bombs can you have on keto?
The number of keto fat bombs one can consume depends on individual daily macronutrient goals and remaining calorie intake for the day. Typically, 1-2 fat bombs are consumed as a snack or to satisfy a sweet craving, but it’s essential to factor them into your total daily carb and calorie count.
What is the point of a keto fat bomb?
The primary purpose of a keto fat bomb is to provide a concentrated source of healthy fats, helping individuals on the keto diet meet their daily fat intake requirements, boost energy, and satiate hunger while keeping carbohydrate intake low. I also see it as a snack that satisfies sweet cravings in a keto-friendly manner.
