Hey, nursing mama! I’ve got a super delicious treat for you that is easy on your figure but works really well to boost your milk supply. It is packed with products that increase milk production, like oatmeal, brewer’s yeast, and flax seed. So don’t substitute these ingredients because they work wonders with your supply. I would even suggest adding some Fenugreek straight out of the capsule and into the dough to make the most out of milk-boosting ingredients.

This recipe is a dairy-free version. I use coconut oil instead of regular unsalted butter. If you want it to be more creamy, you can use butter. These cookies can easily become gluten free, if you choose a gluten-free Rolled Oats and Oat Flour. Even better, if you don’t want to add an egg to these cookies, try using 3 tablespoons of flaxseed meal with 1 tablespoon of water. Let it sit until the mixture gets thick and you’ll get a decent substitute for an egg.

So it’s a great basic easy-to-adjust recipe you can play with to get the version that you like.

I cooked these cookies in the morning and ate them throughout the day (goes well as a quick snack or after a meal with a cup of Mother’s Milk herbal tea). My hubby always had a couple or more for himself because they are just so delicious!

Ingredients:

• 60 grams (1/2 cup) of Whole Grain Oat Flour
• 70 grams (3/4 cup) of oatmeal (the regular whole grain one)
• 50 grams (1/3 cup) of Shredded Coconut (Unsweetened)
• 60 grams (1/4 cup) of melted Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
• 1 tablespoon of Ground Flaxseed
• 1 tablespoon of Brewer’s Yeast Powder
• 60 grams (1/3 cup) of Coconut Sugar
• 1 teaspoon of Baking Soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of Himalayan Salt
• 1 egg
• 1 teaspoon of Vanilla Extract

Directions:

1. Preheat you over to 350 F.
2. Mix the dry ingredients (except sugar)
3. Beat well the sugar with the egg
4. Stir the dry ingredients into the egg mixture
5. Pour coconut oil and vanilla extract mix well
6. Scoop onto a silicone baking mat. I make small balls with my wet hands (this is important, otherwise the mixture will stick to your hands) and flatten them out after I put them on the sheet.
7. Bake for 15 minutes.

As simple as that. I get 12 cookies out of this portion of ingredients.

You can double the portion and freeze the cookies (by the way, they are actually good for 2-3 days at room temperature. So maybe no freezing is needed, since I’m sure you’ll manage to eat them all in a couple of days!)

I swear, these are the best cookies I’ve ever made so far! They’re fast and easy to make. The smell is mouthwatering and the taste is so incredible! I loved them. I have to admit, I still cook them quite often, although I’ve been done with breastfeeding for three months already, I am nowhere close to be done with the cookies! 🙂

Try this delicious treat as well and I really hope it will make a difference to your milk supply!
