Q: Can I use turkey bacon instead of pork bacon?
Yes, you can substitute turkey bacon for pork bacon. However, keep in mind that turkey bacon may not be as crispy and flavorful, so you might need to adjust the cooking time.
Q: Can I make these fat bombs in advance?
Absolutely! You can prepare the fat bombs ahead of time and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They also freeze well for up to 2 months—just thaw them in the fridge before serving.
Q: How do I make these Keto fat bombs spicier?
For extra heat, you can increase the amount of jalapeno or add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the guacamole mixture.
Ingredients Needed For Bacon Guacamole Keto Fat Bombs
- 2 large avocados from Westfalia Fruit
- 4 large slices of bacon, chopped
- 1/4 cup butter, softened at room temperature
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small jalapeno, finely chopped
- 1/2 small white onion, diced
- 1 tbsp Westfalia Fruit Avocado Oil
- 1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp sea salt (or more to taste)
- 1-2 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro
Instructions:
Preheat and Prepare Bacon:
- Preheat your oven to 410°F (210°C). Line a baking tray with baking paper.
- Lay the bacon strips out flat on the baking paper, ensuring they don’t overlap.
Cook the Bacon:
- Place the tray in the oven and bake for about 10-15 minutes, or until the bacon is golden brown and crispy. Cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of your bacon slices.
- Once done, remove the bacon from the oven and let it cool down. After cooling, crumble the bacon into small pieces and set aside.
Prepare the Guacamole Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the avocados, softened butter, minced garlic, finely chopped jalapeno, diced onion, cilantro, and avocado oil.
- Season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Mash everything together using a potato masher or fork until well combined and creamy.
Chill the Mixture:
- Cover the bowl with foil and place it in the fridge for 20-30 minutes. This step helps the flavors meld together and makes the mixture easier to form into balls.
Form the Keto Fat Bombs:
- Once the guacamole mixture is chilled, take it out of the fridge. Using a spoon or cookie scoop, create 6-8 balls of the guacamole mixture.
- Roll each ball in the crumbled bacon, ensuring it’s well coated.
Serve and Store:
- Place the bacon-coated guacamole fat bombs on a tray. Enjoy them immediately for a fresh, crunchy treat or store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Variations
Cheesy Bacon Guacamole Keto Fat Bombs: Mix in 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar or crumbled feta cheese into the guacamole mixture for a cheesy twist.
Herbed Keto Fat Bombs: Experiment with different herbs like chives, parsley, or dill instead of cilantro for a fresh flavor profile.
Bacon and Blue Cheese: Add crumbled blue cheese to the guacamole mixture for a tangy, robust flavor.
Sweet and Spicy: Incorporate a small amount of finely diced pineapple or mango with the jalapeno for a sweet and spicy flavor contrast.
