Ingredients
Instructions
-
Spread half of the grass fed butter between two pecan halves. Use a tiny bit of sea salt and boom, baby! You have a Butter Pecan Fat Bomb or a pecan and butter sandwich!
-
There are so many ways to go with Butter Pecan Fat Bombs:
-
•Purist – just straight butter, pecans and sea salt
-
•Blue – 1/2 butter, 1/2 blue cheese, a dash of Worcestershire, pecans
-
•Spiced – use your favorite savory or sweet spice blends with the butter, pecans
-
•Sweet- use your favorite liquid sugar sub to sweeten the butter, pecans
-
•Cream Cheese – 1/2 cream cheese, 1/2 butter, spices, pecans
-
•Brie – 1/2 brie, 1/2 butter, pecans
-
Make sure to toast the pecans prior to making the fat bombs. Toasting the pecans really elevates the fat bomb. I keep some kind of toasted or Crispy Nuts in the fridge at all times, for just this sort of emergency ration! When we’re in a hurry, we simply throw them into a 350° oven for 8-10 minutes. Watch so they don’t burn. But when we are thinking straight, we make Crispy Nuts (recipe coming soon) which involves soaking the nuts in sea salt overnight, then dehydrating 6-8 hours at 105° (the nut setting on the dehydrator).

Why this Butter Pecan Fat Bombs works for PCOS
At 1g of carbohydrates per serving, this Butter Pecan Fat Bombs is on the lower-carb end, which suits women with PCOS who have confirmed insulin resistance or who notice strong post-meal energy crashes. Pair lower-carb meals like this with a generous portion of non-starchy vegetables to keep fibre intake up.
A PCOS-friendly snack like this Butter Pecan Fat Bombs should include protein or fat, not carbohydrates alone. Carb-only snacks (fruit, crackers, granola bars) spike blood sugar then crash it within 60-90 minutes, leaving you hungrier and more reactive to whatever comes next.
