Grass-fed Cinnamon Butter Fat Bombs

Easy fat bombs recipe | Cinnamon fat bombs | Grass-fed butter fat bombs | Healthy fat bombs

Are you getting enough grass-fed butter in your diet? Grass-fed butter is a nutritional powerhouse, and unless you have a dairy allergy, I think you should be including it in your diet everyday.

(Experienced real foodies know what I’m talking about, but if you’re new to real food you should check out this post on why butter is good for you.)

Not all of my meals lend themselves to being topped with butter, so I’ve developed a few candy-like recipes that make it easy to add some butter to the end of a meal or snack.

One of my favorites is these cinnamon butter fat bombs. I’m not a huge fan of the term “fat bomb,” so you can also call them cinnamon butter bites if you prefer. 🙂

Flavorful, slightly sweet, and with a whipped taste vaguely reminiscent of frosting, these cinnamon butter bites are a delicious way to eat your healthy fats! Just pop one or two at the end of your meal, or even between meals if you feel like you need a little pick me up.

They’re kid-friendly, too! Healthy fats like grass-fed butter are SO important for kids, but I personally struggled with getting much butter into my daughter when she was younger. She totally went for these butter bites, though!

Is this Recipe Keto-friendly??

I have never done the keto diet, so I didn’t actually write this recipe to be keto-friendly.  If YOU are on the keto diet, though, this recipe can definitely work for you. Instead of using the full amount of honey, replace some or all of the honey with your keto-friendly sweetener of choice.

I personally think that these taste best with at least a small amount of honey in the mix, rather than 100% stevia or other non-calorie sweetener, but feel free to do whatever works for your tastebuds and your diet. 🙂

 

Where to Find Grass-fed Butter

While you can use any butter for this recipe, you’ll get better nutrition as well as better flavor if you opt for grass-fed butter. Grass-fed butter comes from cows that are exclusively (or close to exclusively) fed grass–which is the ideal diet for a cow–and thus contains many more vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients than butter that comes from grain-fed cows.

Depending on where you live, you may have several different varieties of grass-fed butter available to you. Personally I exclusively buy Kerrygold butter because I can get it at my local Costco for a very affordable price.

Grass-fed butter at Costco

If you’re not a Costco member, you can also find grass-fed butter at health food stores like Sprouts, Trader Joe’s or Whole Foods. Local grass-fed dairies also often sell grass-fed butter, although that option is likely to be more expensive.

If you can afford it, raw grass-fed butter is the absolute BEST butter you can buy. Personally I don’t have that kind of leeway in my budget, but if you do, definitely go for it!

Salted vs. Unsalted Butter

I use salted butter in this recipe because my most affordable grass-fed butter option is buying salted Kerrygold butter at Costco. You can certainly substitute unsalted butter, just be sure to add some salt to taste.

Using a Blender vs. a Food Processor

Several people have asked me whether you can make this recipe in a blender instead of a food processor. While I haven’t done this myself, I’m pretty sure it would work. The only issue will be that the butter mixture is pretty thick, so you’ll have to work a lot to scrape it all out of your blender. I own a high-powered blender as well as a food processor, but I always prefer my food processor for recipes like this one because it’s much easier to scrape out. (Plus my food processor can go in the dishwasher! Not true for my blender.)

Equipment You’ll Need:

  • Food processor (I use this one)

    Prep Time 10 minutes
    Freezer Time 1 hour
    Total Time 1 hour 10 minutes

    Ingredients

    • 1 pound salted butter, preferably grass-fed
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • (OR, substitute your favorite low-calorie sweetener for some or all of the honey to taste. Personally I like 1 tablespoon honey and 20 drops SweetLeaf clear liquid stevia)
    • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
    • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
    • Salt to taste, if using unsalted butter

    Instructions

    Allow butter to soften on your counter until it is slightly squishy.

    Add butter, cinnamon, honey/stevia, and vanilla extract to your food processor. Process for a couple of minutes to mix ingredients and achieve slightly whipped taste. Stop food processor as necessary to scrape down the bowl and reincorporate ingredients.

  1. This recipe sounds sooo good. Can I use a blender to mix the butter and other ingredients or is it necessary to use the food processor?
    • Meghan says:
      Carolyn, I've never tried a blender so I'm not sure. I'm guessing that it would work, although you might have some trouble scraping it all out. I love my blender for liquidy things like smoothies but for thicker items I prefer the food processor because I personally find it easier to scrape. If you give it a try in the blender, come back and let us know how it turned out!
    • Rebekah says:
      Wow, yum! I made a single serving with 3 tablespoons better, 1 heaping tablespoon granular swerve, 1/4-1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract, and 1/4 tsp cinnamon, mixed it in a small cereal bowl until creamy then ate immediately! 33g of fat later! Thanks!
      • Tracey says:
        Thx for the smaller recipe without honey. I didn’t want to try the huge one until I decided if I liked it. Going to make it now!
      • Tracey says:
        I also just added a couple of drops of chocolate stevia. But I like things sweet. YUMMY!!!

    My kiddos cannot have butter but can have ghee. Is there a suggested substitution method for these using ghee? Thanks! Rachel
    • Cheryl says:
      Ghee is just clarified butter, I would imagine that you just prepare it the same way. No?
      • Hi Cheryl, Yes, you can prepare it the same way, although you may need to adjust the other ingredients for flavor. In my experience ghee has a much stronger flavor than butter, so you may want to add more cinnamon and/or vanilla.

    Can you have honey on Keto I thought you weren’t suppose to???
    • Rochelle, I'm not sure whether you can have honey on keto. (I didn't actually write this recipe to be a keto recipe, and I've never done the diet myself.) But feel free to substitute any other sweetener of your choice.

  26. Deb B says:
    Honey normally isn’t a Keto ingredient...?
    • Deb, I didn't actually write this recipe to be a keto recipe. But a lot of people have picked it up and adopted it for that purpose. You are welcome to substitute any other sweetener that works better for you. :)
  27. Alan Di Stefano says:
    CHOCOLATE CINNAMON BUTTER BITES I tried these butter bites fof my keto diet. They had little flavor and mostly what you could taste is the butter. I modified the recipe to make it Chocolate Cinnamon Butter bites. They taste wonderful. I even game some to people not on the diet and they loved them. The preparation procedure is exactly the same as the recipe above but the ingredients are different: - 3/4 lbs grass-fed butter - 1/4 lbs cream cheese - 1/4 cup honey - 2 tbsp. Cinnamon - 2 tnsp. vanilla extract - 2 tbsp Cacao powder - 5 packets Stevia sweetner - pinch salt
  28. Tammy B says:
    Any reason that the butter can’t be heated until liquid, mix all ingredients and pour in molds? Do they not blend well into melted butter?
  29. Tiffany P says:
    I love these. I did substitute stevia instead of honey. They are great in the morning with my coffee.

  32. Nate says:
    If you do not have a food processor, put all the ingredients into a ziplock bag, then put it in a bowl of hot water to soften up the butter and then mix by hand. Place the bag in the freezer after mixed for a few minutes to help re-solidify the mixture just enough so you can cut a corner off and squeeze it like a cake decorator!
