Bulletproof Coffee Ingredients
- Black coffee – Any type of black coffee you like will work. I usually make mine decaf as I am sensitive to caffeine and sometimes I’ll make my butter coffee with a naturally flavored coffee like hazelnut or peppermint. There’s no special way to prepare it, I usually use my Keurig.
- Butter – Technically any kind of butter will work, but if you’re drinking a bulletproof coffee recipe for the health benefits, then you’ll want to go with the best butter you can find. We are partial to Kerrygold butter because it’s from grassfed cows and also has lower moisture content than typical American butters. Most folks make their coffee with unsalted butter, but I actually prefer to use salted.
- Coconut oil – Also sometimes referred to as MCT oil which stands for Medium Chain Triglyceride Oil. MCT’s are metabolized differently than the long-chain triglycerides (LCT) found in most other foods.
How do you make bulletproof coffee? (Step-by-step)
⭐ First, add butter and oil to hot coffee.
⭐ Next, pour hot coffee over top.
⭐ Then, blend with an electric blender.
What is Bulletproof Coffee?
Bulletproof coffee, also sometimes referred to as butter coffee, is coffee blended with butter and coconut oil (also called MCT oil).
It has been around in paleo and crossfit circles for a long time, but just recently seems to be making its way into the mainstream. There are about as many ways to make it as there are makers of coffee, but I’m just going to tell you about mine.
What are the Benefits of Bulletproof Coffee?
Bulletproof coffee is full of healthy fats and can help you get your day started on the right foot. I find when I drink a mug of keto coffee in the morning, I am not hungry again until lunch time, even if butter coffee is the only thing I had for breakfast.
For me the benefit of keto coffee is being able to have a quick “breakfast” (I’m not much of a morning eater), and feeling full until the next meal. The healthy fats in high quality butter and coconut oil are good for your body and brain, and bonus – it tastes delicious.
Is Bulletproof Coffee Ketogenic?
Yes, this coffee is ketogenic. In fact in some circles you’ll hear it referred to as keto coffee. Whether you call it bulletproof coffee, butter, coffee, or keto coffee – it’s all delicious and great on many diets.
A lot of people rely on this coffee for weightloss as it allows you to stay full without eating too much and it’s super easy to make in the morning. Not like so many other diet foods that require a lot of prep before you get out the door.

Can I use heavy cream and coconut milky make it?
Hi Emily – You can try it! 🙂
I drink several cups of coffee each day, can I have bulletproof coffee each time?
Hi Elaine – The bulletproof coffee is meant to be more of a meal replacement or supplement as it is full of healthy fats and calories. I wouldn’t suggest making it for every cup if you have several in a day 🙂
Is there any way to make sweet but still just as healthy?
You could add artificial sweetener, like Stevia.
Thanks for the recipe and tips! I just made my first Bulletproof coffee. I didn’t have Keto coffee so just used expresso in my French Press. I only did about 1/2 tsp of Coconut Oil because I couldn’t quite stomach the thought of a whole TBSP. I used Kerry Gold butter. It tastes great!
i’m so glad you enjoyed it!
Love this recipe April! Another one of my favorites are keto matcha lattes, but depends on what mood i’m in when I wake up, lol.
